Radius rods and open drive shaft
Hi Guys,
Within a couple of months I'll be starting the major rebuild of the 1950 Ford F472C 'Matfiord' woodie that I acquired in France earlier this year.
With gas now costing around $8 a gallon here in jolly old England I don't fancy another 15 mpg motor. So I'm planning to engineer in a modern fuel injected four cylinder engine and auto trans. (Boo hiss I hear some of you scowling already...) which hopefully should retrurn at least 30 mpg!!
I know I can get an adapter to connect an open drive shaft to the rear axle, but what the heck do I connect the radius rods to???
I'd like to keep the original rear axle so am looking for advice on how to keep the rear end in line???
Colin
