This Model T was constructed over the last 10 years by a Calgary enthusiast who contracted the build using many So-Cal Speedshop parts and a performance Chevrolet 350ci drivetrain. The body is from the last year Model T (1927) which was a transition year when Ford phased out the antiquated ’T’ and started production of Edsel Ford’s much more modern Model A. The body retains its stock cabin height and has not been ‘chopped’ - it is known as a ‘Tall T’ in Rod circles. The frame was strengthened and modified to accept a 400hp Chevrolet 350ci engine and 3sp + OD GM automatic transmission. The engine was built up from a 1970’s block, and was overboard .030 and fitted with ‘shorty’ stainless steel headers, a Holley 650cfm carburetor, and performance camshaft. It produces approximately 400hp according to the builder. The gearbox is a new GM 700R4 Turbo Hydramatic with 3 speeds plus OD. Rear differential is a Ford 9” with 4-link system. A So-Cal Speedshop front axle assembly was were installed with disk brakes and adjustable coil-over spring/shock units. New ‘Dolphin’ gauges sit on a cast aluminum dash are featured in the spartan interior. Steering column and steering wheel are custom. The rear trunk area featured a custom aluminum fuel cell and is ‘Tubbed’ to accept wide rear tires. Custom two-tone silver metallic paint and Cragar 15” staggered wheel/tires complete the specification with 185/65/15 in front and 275/60/15 in the rear. The paint and bodywork is done to a very high standard, as is the undercarriage which is sprayed with bed linter and detailed.
