1930 Ford Model A Rat Rod Blown Big Block Chevy 8-71 Supercharger No Reserve on 2040-cars
Bronston, Kentucky, United States
Up for auction with no reserve is a 1930 Ford Model A Rat Rod. The body is in rough condition with no side windows or rear window. It was formerly a 4 door slant window sedan that someone shortened into a 2 door cab. The doors open and latch easily. The body has a new firewall, front floor, 32 style dash, and grille shell from Brookville Roadster. The grille is new from Vintiques. The body needs a lot of TLC but has been driven as is. The interior includes 2 new Bomber seats. The frame is an original Model A frame that came with the cab. It was also rough but has been reinforce by boxing and bracing. The frame has a 10 inch kick up in the rear. The front suspension is a drilled I Beam with disc brakes and radius rods and the rear suspension is the drag race ladder bar kit, both are from Pete and Jakes with Posie's springs. It has disc brakes on the front and rear with a new under dash brake pedal assembly and master cylinder. The rear end is an 8.8 from a 1998 Ford Explorer with 31 spline axles, a rebuilt limited slip, and new disc brakes. The rear has been narrowed to 56 inches by shortening the driver's side to use a passenger side axle. The electrical includes a new wiring harness and one wire alternator from Danny's Rod Shop, United Pacific Guide Style Headlights, 32 Ford tail lights, and 6 gauge set from VDO. The steering is through a new Borgeson 525 Box and u joints with a new Ididt Old School column and Grant wheel. It has a new fuel tank from Tanks, Inc that holds 16 gallons with a Mr. Gasket electric fuel pump.
The engine is a big block chevy with small oval cast iron heads. It is freshly built with a Scat crank with 4.25" stroke, Scat H beam rods, SRP pistons, UltraDyne solid lift cam and lifters, with 3/8 push rods, and roller rockers. It is fed by 2 new Edelbrock 600 cfm carbs through a new Dyer's 8-71 supercharger. The engine is 489 cubic inches with a compression ratio of 8.5:1 and the supercharger is under driven to produce 5 psi. The horsepower is unknown but it is powerful and runs well. The engined is cooled by an aluminum water pump through a Walker radiator that has a Cooling Components Inc electric fan. The transmission is a TH400 with a new B&M Breakaway stall converter and a 23" Lokar shifter. It has a new driveshaft with 1350 u joints. This car is light with a very powerful engine. I have built many cars and this is the most dangerous but a lot of fun being very loud, very quick, and can break the tires loose with only minor throttle changes. The reason to sell is that I have a pro touring project waiting and want to use the proceeds to complete it. This car is being offered thousands below cost and will be sold AS IS, WHERE IS, WITHOUT TITLE, BILL OF SALE ONLY. I will gladly cooperate with the buyer to pick the vehicle up themselves or with a competent shipping company. |

2016 Ford Explorer order guide revealed
Wed, Jan 21 2015The configurator for the refreshed 2016 Ford Explorer is already up and running. However, if you're the type of person that really likes to dig into the nitty-gritty of a vehicle's features, then the order guide for this latest Ford is now available (pictured right). While the documents don't list fuel economy, engine power or pricing, they give a precise idea of all of the differences separating each of the five trim levels: Base, XLT, Limited, Sport and Platinum. In addition to the tweaked styling across the board, even the Base model now features a rearview camera with a washer. There are also three new colors available: Shadow Black, Blue Jeans Metallic and Guard Metallic. Base, XLT and Limited trims are available with either a 3.5-liter V6 or new, optional 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder. All of them are mated to a six-speed automatic, and all-wheel drive is optional with either engine. The new Platinum trim basically loads the Explorer up with everything imaginable. Power comes from the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, matched with all-wheel drive. Plus, the Platinum trim gets standard luxuries like a dual-pane moonroof, adaptive cruise control, a premium sound system and Ford's super-soft Nirvana Leather covering the seats. There are also some new tech features throughout the rest of the lineup. For example, an updated auto-parking system is also available on the Limited but comes standard on the Platinum. Furthermore, a 180-degree front camera and second-row USB charging are optional on the Sport but are standard on the Limited and Platinum. Check out the gallery for even more of the changes.

Chris Harris checks out Ken Block's Hoonicorn '65 Mustang
Thu, Dec 4 2014Ken Block's Hoonicorn, which stars in Gymkhana Seven, might still bear a passing resemblance to a vintage 1965 Ford Mustang, but underneath the skin, the car is one of the baddest custom machines to ever do a smoky burnout on the road. The ever enthusiastic British auto journalist Chris Harris is now showing what really makes Block's new ride tick on video, and Harris even gets to go for quite a ride. The only Mustang components really left on the Hoonicorn are the A-pillar, B-pillar and roof, according to Harris. Everything else is ditched to create Block's ultimate Gymkhana tool. The 845-horsepower, 6.7-liter Rousch Yates V8 sits behind the front axle, and the grunt is routed to all four wheels through a Sadev gearbox usually found on Dakar Rally vehicles. The whole drivetrain is packed with cool little touches; like that giant handbrake that also disconnects power from the front wheels when in use. The superlatives about the Hoonicorn could go on forever, but settle in and let a very excited Harris tell you about just some of them. He's like a kid in a candy store here, and the look that combines surprise, fear and joy during his ride with Block is the kind that lacks a suitable word in the English language.
