Noel,

Congrats on your purchase. I just picked up a Red and White B&B a couple months ago and love the car.

I have the 514 Ford crate motor and don't get me wrong...it's more power than you could ever need...but she'll overheat when I sit in traffic, and clearance around the motor is tuff. I can't get to one spark plug without removing the valve cover. Also, I have to change my intake manifold to get enough room to put an air cleaner on top of my carburator.

Gonna have a radiator made to hopefully solve my cooling problems, and I plan on doing the intake swap in the next couple of weeks...this thing called "work" keeps getting in the way.

But even with those issues, I still love the car....even when it's up on jack stands...lol

Ever
