Re: OUR 40 FORD

I suppose today might be a minor milestone for me and my project. I registered the Ford and paid the entrance fee for my first show and shine with this car. I have not been to a show and shine in nearly two decades. The last S&S event I went to was put on by the management at the company where I worked. The event may have been an attempt for management to try and do some "team building".
My R120 took first place in the people's choice two years running. I was asked to not enter the R120 next year so others could have a chance. :t2102: So much for the circle-jerk team building. I went anyway, but parked well away from the main event. https://youtu.be/l9Bz08g4o4E
The S&S I registered for is The Father's Day Show and Shine in Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island. http://seasidecruizers.com/

Re: OUR 40 FORD

Are you just confident that the car will be running well by then, or is there something else you've not shared with the class? Hmmmm? Hahaha

Maybe.
I will keep the Flathead V8 only as long as I have confidence in it running reliably. I have always wanted to power this Ford with a Diesel engine. It just happens that Cummins build an ISF 2.8 and an ISF 3.8. Both of these engines are available as crate engines and ready to run as plug and play. I have no doubt that I can recover enough from the Old Flatty, if I should decide, to make a Diesel swap. The Ford has a Diesel compatible fuel return system.
The ISF2.8 weighs about 450 pounds and the ISF3.8 is just a tiny bit more. If these ISF engines were available when I first started this project, this might have been the only Cummins powered Fat Fender Ford.

We had 3-4 inches of snow last night. The snow in the lane has not melted just yet. All of the main roads have been heavily salted or brined. My back lane is steep and remains slippery, so I will not be risking another fall like happened 14 months ago. I slid all of the way to the hospital.
My son cleaned the sidewalks, front and back, when he got home from work at 05:34 this morning.

Is that your Cummins project?

Re: OUR 40 FORD

Hey great! Have fun at the show and shine. And take a picture or two. I've been to a couple of shows the past few years but if I'm driving the Merc I'm limited by my 5 gallon gas tank. :-)
