Attached are a couple of pictures of a 3 year project I recently finished. She's a 1956 Ford Customline Victoria (hardtop). The motor started out as the correct 292 Y-Block, but was bored 0.060" over and stroked with a 312 crankshaft. Ported and polished big valve ECZ-G heads, roller rockers, Comp Cam, dual Edelbrock 500 cfm carbs and Reds Headers top off the motor. The front suspension was modified with 2&1/2" dropped Granada spindles and power disk brakes. Power R&P steering was fitted with many headaches and a Mustang T-5 five speed behind a Centerforce clutch and pressure plate with a Ford 9" and 3.70 posi gears finish off the drive train. Vintage Air, Wise Guys bucket seats and the rest of the interior are finished in black leather and burgandy velour complete the interior. She's a fun ride to drive and we usually get favorable comments wherever we go ... Ron Lane
