I chopped it 4.5" and I channeled the body 2.75". I also put a metal roof on it! The steering is a new reverse corvair steering box with traditional steering. quick release steering wheel for ease of getting in and out of the vehicle. The dash is out of a 1951 Oldsmobile. I cut approximately 13" out of this dash to make it fit. The Gauge cluster is just cosmetic. I have a gps mounted in the car for speedometer and odometer. the gps was reset when I finished the car. every mile driven is recorded! It has a 4r70w automatic transmission with overdrive. it is shifted by a B&M shifter. A manual Valve body was installed to eliminate the computer. The 4.6 SOHC engine runs great and smooth! The short block is a NPI out of a Lincoln. The PI heads are off of a 2000 mustang gt. This combination bumps up the compression ratio. I just put $800.00 into putting trick flow cams, new upgraded valve springs and timing chains in it. It has a carbureted Edelbrock intake with a 600 edelbrock carb. It also has 8 cop`s for ignition. The ignition system is controlled by MSD MOD 6. Very easy system to work with and tune the car! The tuning parameters are endless for this setup! Very expensive setup. starts and runs great everytime! The rear end is out of a 1979 Lincoln. It is a disk brake 9". It has a 2.70 gear ratio. Cruises 65 mph at 1050 rpm! I built this car to be very reliable and to get good gas mileage. I average close to 40 MPG with it! The STOP light in the back has been upgraded with a 6" led light inside of it for maximum visibility and safety. When the brakes are pressed all the brake lights come on. NO TURNSIGNALS! stick your arm out! The Trunk lid is held down by custom leather belt straps made by my wife! She antiqued them and they work and look great! Lots of comments about them everywhere we go!! I made a custom license plate bracket that will stay on the car. the front end is a 6" drop tube axle with disk brakes.

It has a Griffin race radiator fitted for a FORD Model A grill shell! I have a electric fan with thermostat on it. The fan works great! tested it once but the car never gets hot enough for it to even come on! I made all the coolant lines out of copper and it works and looks cool! I built a custom set of headers for it that will come with the car. I just wanted the exhaust system all the way out the back! Personally the headers I built look better on the car! I put 4" motorcycle baffles in each primary tube to quiet it down. I also header wrapped them! I built the frame in a jig. It is a 2x3 3/16" rectangular steel frame. 4" kick up in the front. 16" kickup in the back! 2" drop Model a front crossmember. very strong frame! all joints were welded and on top of that gusseted!

I hooked a ipod hook up to the amplifier also. It is plenty loud! very clean set up. I am using the original gas tank in the car! it holds 10 gallons of gas. I have a carter electric fuel pump on it to transfer fuel to the carb. at close to 40 mpg you can travel pretty far! Be ready though, I cant drive this car anywhere and expect to leave soon!

V6 engines will outpace V8s for the 2015 Ford F-150
Wed, 23 Jul 2014How times have changed. Even five years ago, who would have thought the mighty V8 would be just another engine choice for buyers of the 2015 Ford F-150?
Ford is projecting about 28 percent of the next-generation trucks will have the 5.0-liter V8. That's nothing to sneeze at, but consider this: Ford figures its two EcoBoost truck engines - the new 2.7-liter V6 and the existing 3.5-liter V6 - will also each account for about 28 percent of the F-150's sales (56 percent total). That leaves only 15 percent of the pie for the 3.5-liter (non-EcoBoost) V6. The new F-150 goes on sale late this year.

Ford, Samsung shack up to bring regen braking to non-hybrid models [w/video]
Mon, 09 Jun 2014Ford must be desperate to get itself ready for the beach this summer because it is really trying to get into shape. Shortly after unveiling the Lightweight Concept that cut the weight of a Fusion down to that of a Fiesta, it's now the rest of the line's turn for improvement. The company is wrapping up a 10-year research project aimed at developing next-gen automotive batteries to improve efficiency.
Ford claims that 70 percent of its lineup will have stop/start tech by 2017. The key to this massive proliferation is its new dual-battery system that combines a lithium-ion battery with a lead-acid one and regenerative braking. The setup works by harvesting braking energy and converting it to electricity. When the vehicle stops, the engine shuts off, but the Li-ion battery has enough juice to keep the accessories running. The engine starts up again as drivers take their foot off the brake. The layout would mean less wasted gas while idling. It's already available on Ford hybrids and is somewhat similar to the i-Eloop capacitor-based system from Mazda.
The bigger challenge is tuning the regenerative braking right. While hybrid drivers may be a little more adventurous, when it comes to getting a hang of regen braking, conventional buyers might not be so open-minded. The systems have a tendency to be a little grabby at first and then taper off at very low speeds. Ford needs to make sure it's just right to avoid turning off buyers.
NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
