[1951 Ford F3]

It is a nice torch red 51 F3. It is getting the following so I cn at least drive it into town here and there.

1. Ford explorer disc brake rear end 3.73
2. speedway front disc brakes
3 brake booster
4. dual strombergs
5. Borg and Warner 5 speed with adapter
6. 4.125 stroke crank'
7. H beam rods
8. Icon pistons 3.313
9. Delta camshaft 236 355 lift
10. Edelbrock heads
11. new valves, guides and springs

I will set the compression at about 8.5 to 1


It currently has a stock engine with between 10k and 20k that really just needs a cleaning, block surfacing, valve job, rings and bearings. I could leave it stock except for a nice cam and higher compression. It would have headers and dual strombergs with Mallory ignition. But, I have the crank. Part of me wants to just cut it for Speedway 3.750 stroke pistons, valve job , and a delta Cam. I want the 4.125 stroke so I can pull 5th gear on the highway. It wont see RPMs passed 4500 to 4700 max.


I will have between $3500 and $4000 into parts and machining.
