Is an English Ford considered a qualified Forum discussion candidate?
It is, all Ford, just behind the times for the year... Pretty Kewl Little Thing..

A Ford is a Ford no matter where it was manufactured. Even the continuation of Ford products under a different banner like Simca is worthy of mention.

Thanks Tony.
I have checked all that out. Mine dynoed at 22 hp/38 ft lb of torque. Not bad after sitting for 20? years.They need speed equip if you want to go anywhere. LOL
I'm in the process and hopeful, of getting a 60hp flatty togethed for it. Got to have that v8 sound. Makes it sound like you have more power I guess. Want to keep it old ford and be able to go for an Ice Cream, without it being a day trip...

My concern is. Is it acceptable to ask questions or search for parts on this forum? Don't want to create a Sunami.

My dad drove an English Ford to work in Seattle in the early 50s. I vaguely remember what it looked like. It was green. Next work car was a 59 Studebaker.

Thanks Tony
I have wondered for a while about any compatibility of U.S. produced Ford parts , and english Fords. Drive train components I mean. As in clutch spline size and drive shaft spline etc. I am trying to get my 60hp together to install it in my Prefect Memmorial Car. Because of our weather up here, it's in storage til spring. So I haven't torn it apart yet. Likely will only use it quite locally, so it doesn't have to be prefect.

I had 1 49 Anglia in the early 60,s.It was a cute low milage car.but was so gutless,it couldnt pull the skin off a rice pudding!A V8-60 would have been nice,but they had very weak rear ends that could barely take the torque? of the stock engine.The Prefects were known as Defects up here.

This brings back memories, back in the day here in New Zealand we would swap out a Morris 8 hp engine for a ford ten and think it was the hottest thing on the planet. They were nearly a straight swap with 4 bolts to the gearbox that lined up perfectly with a big ratail file. Those were the days. These hp figures were the old pommy rated system so a 10hp ford over a 8 hp morris was about 10 real hp which was a lot when you only had 22 to start with. LOL Tony.
