My new project, not a mustang but powered by FORD!

I just picked up a 1975 Bricklin SV1
It rough but the price was right.
I will post pics as I go.

Yep a 351W
I just finished putting it back together!
Now I have to clean up the engine bay, so I can reinstall it!

Slid the motor back in today!
Still have to hook everything back up, and figure out what radiator I'm going to fit into it, since the original one feel apart when I took it out (scary I actually drove it some with that radiator)

Nice!

I remember seeing a couple of those in SoCal late 70's. Never knew they had a 351 in them.

Can a radiator shop recore it and all that so you still run a stock one?

Brought it to two radiator shops, they said it was way too coroded to repair, and it would be about $650 to build a new one.
I think I'm going to go with a universal aluminum radiator and make some custom mounts.
Will only be about $275
I'm doing this as a budget build!

I have only ever seen ONE Bricklin, it was on HWY 4 in Brentwood, CA - parked at the Brentwood Café, probably having breakfast...it was orange, so cool, always wanted one...
