OK so i have this idea of building a ratrod just like you would see at car shows etc but tossing in my own spin to it. have a nice k24 sitting in the engine bay. think it could happen? would weight be a problem im not really sure how heavy a 1933 ford is but im sure its not light. i would love to hear from sombody and get there opinion or ideas/problem that one would run into doing such a build. Thanks

 

i think anything is doable, granted you have the money and time.

 

If you have the skills do it.

Being that you had to ask, you prob don't have the skills(not trying to be a dick)

 

Just try not to end up in the "Worst Fabrication Pictures" thread 5 months from now. Otherwise, good luck to you.

 

would be cool to see something other than a chevy 350 in a ford hot rod!!! Def try it out, could be pretty cool!

 

A '33 is not heavy at all. I would hope you are using a replica ad not the real deal. It will be even lighter if that's the case. Personally I feel it is sacreligious putting a import motor in a domestic and vise versa. I am curious how you plan on making a k work in front mount rwd set up?

 

Could you just scrap the drive shaft and make it front wheel?

 

using a s2000 motor and trans would be alot easier since it come from a rwd...but anything is possible if you have the skill and knowledge for it.....also somebody did a hotrod with a turbo f20c but never saw it finished

 

use the k with an s transmission.

 

yea k series rotate the oposite direction as other honda engins like d,b,f,h but they rotate the same as the s2000 f20/22c so u cna use an adapter plate and a trans from a s2000 and make a k rear wheel drivethat would be ur best bet.


and to dudethat said ditch the driveshaft and make it fwd. it aint that simple all im sayin

 

for the debate between domestic and import
