Again, I say thanks John.

My intent is for a nice peppy banger for my '31 Tudor. Its going to be a little hot-roddish for this site, but since you asked....

The car will be basically a stock sedan with '40 juice brakes and a dropped front axle. Not much else done mechanically, except for the motor. I'd like to lighten the flywheel and adapt a V8 pressure plate.

As for the engine, I have a police head as well as the "C" head from the B. I also have an alloy aftermarket downdraft intake and an assortment of Ford/Holley 94s. The only other "trick" part I have is a Mallory distributor.

At some point, I have a Halibrand 201 center section that I would like to stuff my '40 rear parts into. That would give me tunable gearing for my style driving.

Thanks again for all the answers and opinions...and keep 'em coming!
