Scta Flathead Dry Lakes Halibrand Quickchange Edelbrock Hot Rod Iskenderian Av8 on 2040-cars

Year:1930 Mileage:2200
Location:

South Pasadena, California, United States

South Pasadena, California, United States



Purpose-built, light-weight, agile, and fast, the Ford A V8 roadster ruled the streets of Southern California before and after World War II.
The A V8 was the precursor to the Deuce and all later iterations of Ford hot rod roadsters.  Emulating the California lakes and street racers of the late 30s
and early 40s, this little roadster is exceptional in its period-correct detail.  As a testament to its authenticity, it was recently honored with the Joe Mac award
at the Antique Nationals.  Everything is newly rebuilt, with many rare and NOS parts.  And, it's a blast to drive.

The specifics:

0.060" over, ported, polished, and relieved 1946 59a flathead with Mercury crank;  266 cu. in.
Rare and potent Iskenderian 1007 LD (long duration) Track Grind camshaft, the "Impacter".
Original and very rare Edelbrock Block Letter heads and intake manifold.
Kurten dual-coil, dual-point ignition with original Ford coils converted to 12v.
Original and complete Stewart-Warner mechanical tach drive.
Twin 97s.

Very rare Halibrand Culver City Model A Quick change; final gear, 3.46.

Original Deuce 4" dropped axle, spindles, wishbone, and spring.

1939 Ford trans.

Ford F-1 steering box with original Deuce pitman arm.

Rare, curved-glass Stewart-Warner mechanical tach,  2 & 5/8" oil pressure and water temp gauges.

Original Deuce radiator (rebuilt by The Brassworks), grill shell, and insert.

Hydraulic brakes with '40 backing plates.

 NOS B-L-C 682-J headlamps with 12v Halogen conversion.

Many more details.  Please check them out.

2014 Roush Stage 3 Mustang

Fri, 26 Jul 2013

Up until now, it's been some years since I managed to get behind the wheel of the hot Mustangs tuned by the folks at Roush Performance. My memories of those vehicles are fond, as the Roush up-fits usually make for better-driving examples of the iconic Ford pony, with better-tuned suspensions, excellent short-shift kits and, of course, huge additions of power. The wake-your-neighbors aural characteristics of these cars have been nothing short of outstanding, too.
But in the years since my last experience with the Roush formula, Ford's own development team has churned out some pretty potent 'Stangs. We currently live in a world where the Blue Oval will sell you a Mustang with 662 horsepower from the factory, and the recently departed Boss 302 remains one of the best Mustangs - and best sports coupes - the Autoblog crew has ever driven.
So with great-driving and hugely powerful Mustangs coming straight off the line at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant, does the Roush package still offer that extra special something to make it stand out? I spent a week with a Stage 3 coupe to find out.

Quitting Mexico factory helps bring down Ford earnings $200 million in 2016

Thu, Jan 26 2017

Ford released its 2016 earnings report this morning, and despite a fourth quarter net loss it proved to be the automaker's second most successful year ever, following record breaking numbers in 2015. Losses for the year come from a number of sources, including accounting changes and a $200 million hit for backing out of the small-car factory in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Despite the loss, come March 9 about 56,000 UAW-represented employees will receive a $9,000 profit-sharing check. That, like most of Ford's other 2016 metrics, is slightly down from the year before, but it's still the second best profit-sharing payment ever. Total net income was $4.6 billion, down $2.8 billion from 2015. Total revenue for 2016 was $151.8 billion, up $2.2 billion. Ford's earnings report lists a global market share of 7.6 percent, down a tenth from 2015. Ford's European and Asia-Pacific markets posted their best and second best pre-tax profits respectively. The South American, Middle East, and African markets all took hits because of unstable economies and other external factors. Ford expects to have another down year in 2017 as it invests in new and emerging markets and focuses more on its mobility projects.Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford adds 850 jobs to build 2015 F-150

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

Pickup trucks tend not to advance at quite the same pace as the rest of the industry. That's what makes the new Ford F-150 so remarkable, jettisoning its old steel construction in favor of aluminum. It's a game changer that Ford is betting big on, and in anticipation of surging demand, the Blue Oval automaker is adding 850 new jobs to put the thing together.
Those 850 new employees will be centered at Ford's Rouge complex in Michigan - with 300 at Dearborn Stamping, 50 more at Dearborn Diversified and 500 at the Dearborn Truck facility, the latter of which has already kicked off what Ford describes as "the largest manufacturing transformation in decades." Old manufacturing equipment is being replaced with the latest technologies, and even the Ford Rouge Factory Tour is undergoing a complete overhaul.
The new jobs come as part of the commitments Ford made to the UAW in 2011 to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the United States by 2015 - a number which Ford has already exceeded at 14,000. Over 4,000 of those are centered in southeastern Michigan.
