Would you need to make customized motor mounts to get this into an older car?

No. It's go into a '47 Packard coupe. The six-banger was maybe a 3500 pound car. You can put the early 50s engines into the older cars, but it doesn't work the other way around. But I have two 1954 rust buckets, and since welding is in my box of tricks now, I may go ahead and cut the motor mounts out of those cars and see about welding them into the coupe. Reason is, I'd like to use an old Ford GT 5-speed transmission (more gears and overdrive), and that'll only have 1 transmission mount unlike the old Packard trans with 2 mounts.

Very old horse staring off to the Southwest in winter, in the winter of his time here. Some people would consume themselves in pity for having lost him. I prefer to think that we still have him and are grateful for the time we got to pet his nose, feed him apples, visit with him and admire his very heavy winter coat.

Something like that. I have read some Ford flathead hot rod/souping up books to see what the flathead motorheads have done. I need to relieve the block for a bit more air flow and put in bigger valves. I know that there's a cam company in CA that can do me a three-quarter race grind. The solid lifters from the little engines will work. It might get expensive to get a set of rods and Pistons made that are lighter than the ones that come with it. Then there will be the fabrication of a good set of dual exhaust headers. Lotsa fun!!!

Very cool
 
Got in late, fed, went to bed, get up and the resident vampire is still up! Even as the suns rays crested the trees…some kinda superpower this woman has?😳

Anyhow, MZ is now AZ…keeping it short due to prep for soda bread making for the big feast. Everyone have a great lead up to the wishbone pull!
