Finished my '33 Ford. (PONTIAC powered of course.)
I have been on this little '33 Ford the last year or so. I don't usually post pictures of Fords but I thought you might appreciate the Pontiac under the bonnet. Pretty nasty 400 with a 6-71, TKO-600 and a quick change rear.
Here is the before, a pretty decent car compared to the junk I usually drag home.
Here she is done. The little car is fun as hell to drive and makes some pretty decent power. It sounds pretty cool ripping through the gears with the quick change and blower making all that racket.
Sorry about the giant pic, not sure what I did there....
See ya, -Abone.

Great build! Love the blown, two fours and the TKO! You’re preaching to the choir here but that car deserves wider attention because it’s not just another small block hot rod build. Looks great, enjoy!
