Exclamation What are yout thoughts - engine etc.

Hi all.

I'm looking with my son Todd to have a go at a different project over the next year or two.

We have been around the Street Rod arena for years, having owned a 'T' bucket, 28 roadster and 37 convertible etc.. So the interest is still there....

Todd was looking at the 'FFR' Hot Rod kit recently and at '32 roadsters. The Foxtel programs featuring Chip Foose and the late Boyd Coddington don't help either.... with keeping the interest alive...

Power plants and running gear have us asking some questions....

What is the better way to go..

The arguement of Ford versus Chevrolet aside..... Would a quad cam motor and and 6 speed auto be better than a LS motor and auto..

Lets look at availability, cost, performance and set up in a '32 ford roadster.

The engine bay of the '32 will take either running gear and the chassis, engine mounts etc are ordered to suit from the start - hence this early question.

What are your thoughts...... Ford of Chev running gear. Keep in mind it is availability, cost not Ford versus Chevrolet..

Any thoughts or ideas....
