37 ford coupe, 351c with MPI EFI. Plan to add 18s in the front instead of the current 17s.View attachment 1605911 View attachment 1605912
One thing to keep in mind is the pre -1935 cars are pretty small so if you re a larger guy they can suck to drive. My father has a 31 coupe so I've experienced it.

Man thats really clean. Hows the drivability with the EFI setup?
What intake setup is that? I have a 351c going in my 56.
Thanks for the kind words!Cool Cobra, how about an update, where are you in your hunt for a street rod?
Knowing your standard of perfection it narrows down the potential applicants, or are you considering a less than perfect car that you can then perfect?
Thanks that's an older pic, I spent some time cleaning up the engine bay/detailing it and it's a little better. The goal was to have it looking like a Stock boss 351, unfortunately accessories make it hard to do in the little package. I have no room up front on the engine.
Originally I was running a foxbody 5.0 system/harness, intake elbow with fox throttle body, 460 distributor and quarterhorse chip. The setup evolved over the years when I found a massflo throttle body and maf which is what is pictured. The last revision was ditching the maf and ford ecm and putting a megasquirt pnp in its place.
The megasquirt has been awesome and has improved driveability a ton. I also changed my cam along the way while being EFI, originally I was running a 224/232 on a 110LSA, swapping to a 224/232 on a 114LSA helped a bunch too. The car runs a T5z that I converted to midshift, so being a manual transmission tuning needs to be good to prevent bucking.
I've tried to make the car more of a driver it has A/C, overdrive, EFI, cruise control, 4 wheel power disc brakes.
Thanks for the history and information on your setup. How is the braking with the 4 wheel discs? Hows the handling/suspension?
