This is a quick video where I introduce everyone to this roadster I picked up. We see if we can get it running and check out what's wrong with it.

Cool, Looking forward to finding out. 😉 Someone said there are a lot of Ford 5 speeds out there, and I'm sure Ford OD autos, too. You could go with that and call it "The Odd Rod!" 😍

I'd put a sbc and th350 in it if the rad has a cooler. I suppose the right c4 could be hung on this motor.

@BigOMotors Ай бұрын

Yea that's kind of my dilemma. Leaning towards the c4 route.

They put the Ford in there so they could have a front mounted distributor. So if you are goiung to drop something into it, try a 383 Chrysler with a TQ-Flyte 😁

@BigOMotors 2 ай бұрын

Oh that's a cool thought. I think you're right on the distributor.

@russriley3005 2 ай бұрын

you see a lot of old fords with chevy motors, especially roadster stuff

Ok. Its kind of cool, definitely leaning towards keeping it in.

There's a lot of 5 speed mustang transmissions out there

I'm thinking someone had a 27 chevy title and built a body to simulate one kind off. Looks pretty homemade to me. A 27 chevy would be narrower I think. Pretty cool car should be fun. That 289/302 would give it plenty of power

@BigOMotors 2 ай бұрын

Very true. The wide body was one of the things I liked about. It is metal but it should be a fun ride when she gets going.

You're correct. There's zero '27 Chev about that body. It's all home spun. Maybe the frame is '27 Chev? It's fuctup looking. Cool factor is at a deficit.

First off, I believe I would research the vin., to make sure my investment was secure. Nothing wrong with a replacement engine in it, as long as the paper work was legit. Then I.D. the engine. Then decide what tranny to use. Maybe try what the last owner suggested first?? If that works?? See if I can get it insured?? If yes? Lets have fun with it till another good trade comes along!! Lol

Awesome suggestions! I do haver a clear title on it. There was also some previous paperwork that supports the title. Great ideas!
