Looking good quickstitch.but I've noticed a small fault.Everyone knows that any decent V8 should have the dizzy at the back of the motor.

Looks good.
I too hate those flexi hoses, maybe two small angles and a bit of stainless tube would work

Distributor is in the wrong place, but i guess the amount of time you need to work on Ford V8s it's good to have it so accesible.

What has been done to the motor!

thats because it'll go as quick in reverse as the cars powered by other motors do going forwards, so to balance the odds they leave it that way.

XD! Engine bay looks very like my XA used to, except for the newer master cylinder, front looks different though! Could be wrong here, but aren't chrome pans less good for getting rid of heat than standard ones! I used to like the idea of the dizzy at the back, but whenever I had to work on the chev, I missed the handy dizzy at the front of the 351C.302 / 351! I hope you are going twin exhausts, nothing sounds as good as a twin on a V8 (IMHO !).

yeah they say the chrome sumps hold the heat but it is a 7 quarts sump so more surface area to cool the oil down and there is more oil so it spends less time in the engine so it doesn't gather as much heat' going for a big single exhaust for now as i will need to pull a fuel cell in to run a twin system. but i plan to fit a cell and twin exhaust in the very near future.have a two into one flowmaster copy for now, will sound awesome.sorry O for orsum.

wtf are you talking about. all Hemi's have their dizzy at the front, just on a bit of an angle.

I thought it was rotaries that had the dizzy at the front on an angle!

Not true sir.
The 331-392 Hemis had the dizzy at the rear. Only the 426 (not a true Hemi either) has it at the front and on the angle.
I will not comment on the Toyota Hemi nor the Daimler Hemi as neither are Mopar

You are a teacher aren't you ! UPHOLSTERY, i have seen worse attemps at spelling it. i was gonna say worser but the gramma nazis will string me up for it. I might have to do the upholstery, but i don't know if i will keep the car that long. I get more enjoyment playing with the motor. Once i get the motor up to the specs i want then i will go looking for a cheap chrome bumpered falcon to drop it in, if such a thing exists

Nothing, just bolt ons. I have a complete rebuild kit, Sealed power flat tops, rings, bearings,ARP rod bolts, Crower lumpy cam, springs,lifters, Mellings pump, Arp drive, tru roller chain, Priority oiling system, gaskets etc waiting to be used. I wanted to sell this motor and them build my spare 351 up to fit in but got no bites on it so i will build the other motor at my leisure (as i can afford it). About $1500 needed in machining to be done, then i will sell the old motor to pay for some CHI heads

sorry Todd, you are right, but the reality is, there's only one Hemi thats worth having & it's dizzy is at the front. the others are just ornaments for old men.

Yeah wicked. We're talking about proper Ford stuff here, not that other stuff.
