Title: New to Forum
Post by: TCSOHC on July 16, 2014, 03:13:32 AM

Hello Everyone,

New to the forum but not to FE‘s, I’m 64 years old from Australia & I’ve loved old Fords for a lifetime. Saw my first Hot Rod in the late 50’s a bright yellow channelled fenderless ‘34 Ford coupe. It sparked a passion that lasts to this day. In 1967, when I was 17 I had the opportunity to buy that same coupe and I still own it! One year later in 1968 I bought a ’35 five window coupe, which once again I still own. Both coupes have been FE powered for most of that time, raced, shown, used sometimes as a daily driver and always enjoyed. About 25 years ago the ’35 was returned to sidevalve power, now fitted with a S.C.O.T blown 8BA, the‘34 is at present “non op” & is powered by a 671 blown SOHC .

Cheers
TC

Good stuff TC!  Sounds like you enjoy using your cars a lot, I dig that!  And from the pics, you've got them looking great too.  You've got the whole package man, good job!

Thanks for the welcome,

I will work on getting some info and more pictures up.

 Here’s the 8BA beside one of the cammers before final assembly. The 8BA is installed & running, now to do the same with the SOHC!

Andy, we live in the mountains to the west of Sydney

Cheers,
TC

Looking good. Are you using SOHC parts from Paul Munro?

We have no Munro parts, mostly Ford original.
However, we are rotating out a couple of the original blocks for Robert Pond replacements.
This has become a very long and expensive procedure……but hey what else would I be doing!

Cheers,
TC

Ah ok, I was just curious since he is from Australia as well.

Can't wait to see pictures of it.
