great work,i am taking on a 32 project now after building a 32 Tudor years ago,i am looking at a new steel 5 window coupe body and a Tudor body like yours and like i built years ago.someone cut the wheel wells and 3 or 4 inches of the quarter panels off and fixing it ,i thought was impossible for me but seeing this,gives me a little hope,although i don't have the cut off pieces for patterns?must be a way?great work.

I came here to see how your steering geometry was done, as I'm building 3d model dirt track cars based on 32 and 34 fords. I subscribed after these 3 videos, you do killer fab and OCD is the only way to go !!! Congrats on a great shop and a great channel.

@@thrashersghettofab1417 very cool, I looked through your videos and the last one I saw was where you were prepping the engine bay to put the new engine in. I have a 67 Ranchero that I am going to put a 351 in. I bought the manifolds a couple years ago but haven't done the work yet. I'd love to see how much clearance you have to the shock towers

@havoc9926 6 ай бұрын

Cool job ,very cool but why not have just used 289 hi po exhaust manifolds they flow decent.

@thrashersghettofab1417 6 ай бұрын

I think the LS manifolds will still flow way better. I've read the best flowing manifolds for the Windsor would be 351 manifolds. That would be way easier but I never do anything the easy way!

The heads used to be dirt cheap since its the china casting everyone rebrands. Did the same with cheap ls swap headers using those heads but modified the flanges vs the head.

@thrashersghettofab1417 7 ай бұрын

I heard that also. Supposedly the machining and parts are supposed to be better quality, but who knows. I would have rather used SBF flanges. I've never welded cast before and didn't want to ruin the manifolds.

@TheGrosen84 7 ай бұрын

It's too bad some of the holes go in to water. Have you considered trying to design an adapter perhaps?

@thrashersghettofab1417 7 ай бұрын

That is another idea that would probably even work better. I didn't want adaptors on this because I wanted them to look as "stock" as possible.

@Ares-jx4ep 7 ай бұрын

Love this idea! First thing I thought of was this would allow installing Cast LS turbo manifolds on a SBF.

I couldn't tell if you said you would need to mill the surface - Are the tolerances loose enough to be good with the welds just ground down?

I have a set of those heads and made good power in my 331. Check out my video. I'm a ford purist as well, but you can't deny that the LS has some great parts.

Thanks for the feedback. This is my first Ford build. I'm looking forward to what this little motor can do. It's fairly mild because this is a daily driver/long hauler but I think it's going to be a huge improvement over the tired but still well running 195HP 289/2V. I'll definitely check your vid!

I have those heads. Hope I don’t drop a valve. Like those manifolds, look like they flow . I got 1-5/8 mid length hookers but those LS manifolds look like 1-3/4

@thrashersghettofab1417 8 ай бұрын

I talked to the guys I bought the heads from. I have a feeling they were detonating it. There was a small dome on the pistons and it sounded like they were running pump gas. I think a piston let go and took out a valve. With the smallish chambers and domes would put it into the 11.5-1 range. I'd have to measure the manifolds but they are pretty think so the look bigger than they are.

@denniscliff2071 Жыл бұрын

I have an enormous respect for the design and fabrication quality on this hot rod, but there had to be a better solution to the steering linkage. If a longer shaft coming from the steering box and running close to the frame was used, you could then support it from the frame and then use a couple of universal joints to line up the shafts with the steering column shaft. Possibly????

@thrashersghettofab1417 Жыл бұрын

The issue is the exhaust manifold is in the way. Also, I don't care for the weird steering angle a lot of early cars use. Plus my pedals are in the way if I dropped low through the firewall. The only solution I could come up was using a "steerclear" unit. I didn't want to use one because of the cost and the look of it.

@denniscliff2071 Жыл бұрын

If you are supporting your steering shaft with a bracket attached to the engine block, are you aware that engines twist and move around under torque loads? That is why the need for flex joints in the exhaust system.

@thrashersghettofab1417 Жыл бұрын

My feeling with the motor is solid mounted. It is acting as a crossmember in the frame. I feel it's no different attaching it where I did or the chassis.

Got a idea to pass ya. While I guess there may be nothing covering the floor area from the seat to the firewall. I remember seeing a silver rubber mat at HD or Lowes that could be cut to fit that area.... won't be very noticeable being silver and probably will cut some noise and vibes. Looking great.
