hi, as requested by our illustrious host here, here's some pics of my hot rod weekend toy (well weekday too, while i'm sorting the AT tranny issues on my NSX)
the basic lowdown is this...
1937 english ford model Y tudor sedan
3.5litre (213 ci) all aluminuim Rover V8 (ok, small by US standards!)
high compression, fast road cam, big valve heads, quad dellorto carbs. ok i could get more power from a sbc but with a big weight disadvantage!
3 speed auto
vauxhall front suspension
jaguar XJ series IRS (narrowed of course)
fat anti-roll bars front and rear so corners as well as it goes straight! geared for cruising, tho has managed a 14.2 quarter. could be quicker but there's too much creature comforts inside!
i've owned it since 1992, and it's evolved over the years! hopefully each time for the better!
anyway to the pics....
a bit more of the engine
i'm running megajolt ignition, so dont need the dizzy for ignition, but need it to drive the oil pump...
