The Ford Barn

More of the kind of cars I like. That T Roadster body on a '32 frame looked like it was just dug out of a barn. That stuff is still out there.

Lots of flatheads to see.

And finally the engine swap you never thought of, a turbo diesel,

I like that. Is it a roadster pickup?

I don't think it was a pickup. I was staring so hard at the front thinking about who comes up with this stuff that I never looked at the other end of it. I was hurting pretty good by then and ready to limp back to my truck. If I stopped and looked at every hot rod I wouldn't make it through the show. I zig zag around through the isles to cut down on the mileage. I used to crawl under every car and now unless I drop a hydrocodone next to one, I'm not bending over.

Cummins 4BT, very good engines, but a model A ford would not be my idea of a good home for it !

I think that "vehicle" is edging uncomfortably close to "R**R**" territory.

cmbrucew · 06-25-2023, 07:46 PM

Wouldn't be the first Cummins powered Ford on the Barn.

A friend of mine is putting one of those diesels in a '69 Charger.

This thread was started to discuss the LARS not where it is currently going.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should
