Wow, I want to see this. I have to assume it's a 454, but I am sure I will be wrong.

That's not even in the same zip code as the box..... If memory serves me correctly I believe Joe is right again with the 8.1 liter which would be around a 500Ci give or take a few CI's..

I was thinking it was 502 but 8.1 figures out to be about 494 cubic inches. I'm just trying to think where that 502 cid that popped into my head came from?

The 8.1 is a great engine. A friend of mine has an early Avalanche 2500 with an 8.1 and the Allison transmission. It's definitely the best gas powered tow rig I have ever driven...

Next question:

What 1932 Ford replicar is available with curved side glass and a curved windshield?

Nope and nope. The Factory Five is a '33. Rodware makes curved '32 windshields but, as far as I can find on the internet, they don't make complete replicars.

I wanna say I read something in a magazine about a company called dearborn? making a 32 body with curved side glass and a completely hiding cloth top. If I am remembering correctly it was a completely one off very custom car though I don't even know if it is available as a kit or anything. But I don't know if the windshield was curved or not. Where do you guys come up with this stuff?
