Where's the elevators and rudders for that thing? And no training wheels to keep it from falling over when you goose the throttle? :)
All joking aside, I love the old fendered and fenderless highboys. Especially with the nose in the weeds. I'm kinda partial to flatheads in them, but who's going to complain about an SOHC in ANYthing! Nice looking project!

Forget the training wheels, you're going to need wheelie bars!

Thanks for the kind words, I was planning on running sides on the car but once the engine went in the side scoops were going to be huge, and much happier with the look now, the fire wall has been moved back 3 inches, to fit the engine on to stock length 32 rails, We have not stretched it like Mike Martins Yellow coupe was done.
The front end is Stainless steel I beam 3 inch drop, Buick finned brakes with disc brakes hidden in side , steel grill frame, Dan fink insert. and much more .
Engine side of things still working on, To stroke or leave standard, any ideas on this . Car is street drive and making it as reliable as possible. But hilborne fast system is what is going to be using.
Will post photos of the chassis soon as well as the header build which is going to be fun. headers are going to run on the out side of the chassis. Cheers

Gotta agree wholeheartedly with that! Looks awesome. Should be a bundle of fun.

That car's gonna be a beaut! Zoomies would look great coming off of that SOHC! Make it look like you transplanted an old T/F motor into your 32... ;)

Lakester headers would look great. :D

One of my favorite rods along with a t bucket and 40 Ford. Also like the 1940 Buick Business Coupe. Anyhow I am glad to see no Chevy under the hood LOL. That always is beyond my understanding, also the first SOHC I have seen in a rail frame open wheel. Take it easy on the go pedal YIKES!.......Jon

Any update on this 32?

Want street rod...badly, maybe even more than 64 Galaxie :-\

That is a weird lookin small block chevy, LOL! Finally Ford powered 32s! Wow, that is a gorgeous car mike7570. Can't wait to see 1932fe's car finished also. ;)

Nice pictures, looks tight in there.
Do you know if he stretched it or recessed firewall and how much, what he needed to alter on chassis to fit motor. And, sorry for all the questions, do the heads allow him to put sides on if he wanted to? Of course it would be a crime to cover motor, but if he wanted to, could he?
Thanks,
Mark

Unfortunately Ron passed away a few years ago. There is a trick flat hood with a metal grate right above the injector inlet but no sides.
I haven't seen that '32 anywhere else. The owner had about 6 SOHC engines including one with injector stacks in an older K boat.
I asked if it or any of them were for sale (no way).
The '32 ran (color on headers) but I understand it was a handful. (about 1000hp) I trust that number because Ron built and raced blown alcohol boats and a blown gas altered.
