as many of you may know, I sold my 89 black coupe an bout 2 weeks ago. My father inlaws mother just passed away. . She lived on a farm and her sons (my father inlaw) they stored there cars from high school in this barn for the past 30 years. I am going to be recieving a 52 ford from him and had some questions for all of you.

1.) Would you leave the original flat head in there or put a 302 efi into it and swap it fuel injected?

2.) Would you convert the 4wheel drums to 4 wheel disc?

3.) Chop the top about 4 inches to give it a more sleeck look?

4.) Put it in the air or on the ground?

5.) Leave it all original or, do a complete custom job on the whole thing?

all inputs are welcome and no I don't have pics of the truck I know
but it is just up for opinions right now as to what I am going to do to it.

Sitting in a barn for 30 years? Change out the entire drivetrain and brakes, but be sure to keep the orignal stuff! All original those things are worth $$!!!

turbo 408, with a 300 shot and a glide, oh and remember to wire in VTAK, that thing should have ludacris power which is in between 2500hp and 10000hp.

I would make a 50s era hot rod out of it and hop up the flat head.

351 turbo, 6spd. Make it "modern" but dont hack up the original stuff. New carpet, new seat(s): maybe a pair of corbeaus.

I second the flathead. I dont see too many of those around anymore and I think they are cool as $hit.

Im impressed with all the suggestions I see here.

#1 Yes, rodding it will increase the value dramatically for that vehicle.

#2 Flat Heads are coming back and are getting popular in certain parts.

#3 If it were mine I'd "definitely" do a 302 roller cammed FI swap!

#4 4 wheel disc brakes and suspension would be a touch of class.

#5 Your on the rite track. Just make sure you dont do it half @ss, if your gonna do it, do it rite!! Good luck

Post up some pics if you got em.
