That is an awesome build. Love the 1940 Ford, especially quality one like this with a Ford engine.

No '69 Mach 1 came from the factory with a 351 Cleveland. The engine was not offered or installed in anything until the '70 model year vehicles. But, hey, at least you don't show an obvious 351W and call it a 351C like so many do.

I would rather have 1940 engine in a 1940 car. Glad you weren't stupid enough to put a Chevy engine in it.
