Perfect. Don't clean the motor or paint the car. Tuck and roll red sparkle Naugahyde interior and cruise. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

the budget will dictate painting the car is the last thing I do. all I want to do is get it rolling to take for a cruise. I love the way the motor looks old, so no plans to paint anything yet.

I got a corvette big brake set up from an old vette with the finned drums, someday I want to put that on the front of this car, with the elephant ears on it. that should be 'different', kinda like the lincoln motor. I found out one downer with the Lincoln motor, its going to take a LONG time to find a vintage edmunds? dual quad setup for it. A single stock 4brl should be fine for a while.

Ken, you may regret posting this, I will need help I am sure. I think I got the right dimensions for locating the radiator centerline (13&quot; from the front spreader hole on the frame). We plan to locate the engine location today (all based on fan clearence to the edge of the thicker new hot rod radiator I got with the car, the previous owner gave me). then they can fabricate the engine mounts (which I have no clue yet on what they are thinking for that).

what worries me now is that old generator, will it hit the frame. should know soon.

I like the choice of the Lincoln engine. It has that 'big engine' sound to its name and will look great in there. &quot;What engine is in there?&quot; &quot;It's a Lincoln.&quot; Ford offered the Lincoln 430 in late-fifties squarebirds and it gave the car a muscular aura (even if it wasn't particularly muscular).
