tous Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Six cylinder hot rod. If that is a fuel tank in front, that thing has enough gasoline to go a few, noisy feet away. It has an oil pan, so it's probably not an oil tank, but I do believe that the black hose in the foreground goes to the carburetors? That woman in the white sun glasses doesn't look excited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a fuel tank and there's no cooling system. That car is meant to run a quarter-mile at a time. Straight sixes used to be very popular drag engines. They produce a hell of a lot of torque. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Ford sticker on the valve cover, but that is a Chevy 292 straight six. The starter should be there at the bottom-back of the block, on the passenger side. There is no starter mounted and it is running a magneto instead of a distributor, so I am guessing it doesn't use a battery. They would probably push-start it with the vehicle that pulled the trailer to the track. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Posted April 29 Author Administrators Share Posted April 29 I found a video that shows quite a few stills of this car, plus some others. Here is a link to a page with more pics and images as well. https://www.tbucketplans.com/y-block-ford-t-bucket/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
