That's close to the finish caliber I envision, just not a high-boy like that.

Don't do it man. Keep a real Ford flathead in there.
 
:stu

Yeah, I know for the hot rods of the era, the caddi flat was da bomb. But a Ford flatty is still the best way to go. Or, put a non-ford motor in it, and sell it for big $$ at B-Jackson. :wtf

Don't do it man! Put the Caddi Flatty in the Rat and put the 460 in the Ford!
 
explain it to this stupid a$$:
Why are so many ford hot rod equipped with chebby engines????
I love a 32 ford hot rod but then it would have a ford engine , any ford engine.
 
Why don't you fix the tranny in the Rat first? Drop a 4 speed in it.

sbc's are also shorter than sbf's. before some of the aftermarket & ford motorsport started producing rod friendly items such as short water pumps/pulley systems, getting the longer ford motors in the relatively short engine bays created lots of headaches. also helps that most parts could be taken off a 65sbc & bolted right up on an 85sbc. ford tended to change things a bit over the years...
