I just read thru this whole thread, and missed something:

Very curious to see an early F motor in a 2F rig. Was that by choice, or did a good F just present itself, and there was no good reason NOT to use it?

What brand/size are those cool tires you have installed in the later photos?

NICE rig, and you do VERY nice work.

Thanks for the compliments.

It is an F Motor thats been rebuilt. All new bearings, head has been worked over, and all shafts have been turned. This was done before I bought the engine. It has strong compression and all cyl are within 5lbs of each other.

It's not smog legal, but I'm in Oregon, so no worries there.

Tires are 32 x 10.50 SS TSL Radials...
