I noticed that too and when I was looking for a car it wasn’t a must for me that it was Ford powered, but I do think it’s cool to be all steel with Ford driveline
I'd much rather have that 302. It's purely a classic engine and very expensive to get. 5.3L Chevy would destroy the history of this car. It's a Ford classic!
@Dave Micolichek I understand LS's, but they are not appropriate in everything. Small block chevys are cheap too but I wouldn't put one in a '66 fastback mustang. Honda K series swaps are en vogue too but who the hell wants one in a model t?
Dang Big D that's a really clean Ford! I like this car a lot- it's really easy to go overboard and decide in your head that you have to have a fuel-injected big block, coilovers, Wilwood giant dic brakes, etc, etc, but this build is very restrained. I think the choice of parts, engine, suspension, paint, really everything makes sense for this car. What's really important is that YOU like it. It doesn't matter what I think or anyone else. Regardless, I like this Ford a whole lot and I'm not normally a big Ford guy. Very nice car, Big D.
@Willison use 87-93 Mustang 5.0 shorty headers. Very cost effective and easy to source. AND the best part, they come with a ball-socket style flange so leaks are near impossible
Speedway has a ton of hot rod parts. Also consider swapping in a hydro boost brake system and disc brake rear . Also Vintage Air has a great product. Just added one to an old Ford pick up.
I got my hydro boost off a Chevy Astro van out of a junk yard. Your going to need a power steering pump too. For the rear disk look at Crown Vic or some Mustangs. But it depends on which rear end is in the car now. If you have a Ford 8 or 9 inch it will be pretty easy. But you may just need a bigger master cylinder. If the original builder used a 4 drum master cylinder then added the front disc you won't have enough fluid volume.
Remember there are not perfect cars, just perfect days in our cars. I’ve learned this the hard way. Enjoy your time in your car. I have a 72 skylark. 2-10 inch fosgates & a 300 watt fosgate amp from 2003.
Whatever you choose for exhaust, be sure to use some type of crossover. I personally prefer the sound of a H pipe, more of a rumble and less raspy than a X pipe. I'd use a large, straight core muffler, like a Magniflow. Flowmaster and other chambered mufflers have horrible drone. I'd also have the tailpipes routed behind the car. The longer pipes smooth out the sound. It will also get the fumes away from the passenger compartment.
Don't use the LED conversion bulbs. Halogen will actually work better because the optics are designed for light that comes from a filament shaped source. Get some LED foglights and maybe some LED driving lights instead.
hey big D, i use this rust neutralizer at work, its a green liquid, it converts the oxide layer of rusting steel so that it stops rusting and then protects the metal. it can be painted directly after its dry with primer. You can spray it on with a spray bottle and you dont have to do anything after if you dont have time. Get some rust neutralizer and protect your baby. I see under the rear seat could use a little spray at least and then hit it with a rattle can.
Damn Big D...love the old cars and that sunset shot...yeah that's a beauty shot for sure...nice clean car though and I know it came with mods already as you've mentioned in a prior video. Stay with the Street Rod style...comfy cruiser with style!
Knowing you it’s going to be done right and just be so nice. I’d go shock headers and exhaust so it has that nice subtle stock sound and just get loud when you romp on it. I’m sure someone will reach out to you and help you put a nice system in that ride I know if I could I would. Your then man, the ride suits you unique ,cool and CLASSIC. YA BOOY!! 😃
I love the regular videos but it’s cool to see you doing something like this. My buddy’s dad has had an old 4 door ford I think is a 37 since at least the 80’s. I’m more into the muscle car era but pretty cool
Thanks for the video on the car Big D. What a great project, just ripe for updating. Love the fact that it's a four door rather than the more popular two door. Definitely a cool car.
At first it looked like the cars my uncles restored. After taking a look at this video I began to see all the engineering extras on this car. They must of had an amazing design team.
Sweet ride Big D! Enjoy! My last "sleeper" was a 1979 Volvo 262 Bertone (Mafia) Coupe. Factory chopped top (3.5"), 350 TBI about 300 hp, Turbo 350 with lockup converter & shift kit. Fun to drive. Many cutting edge factory features, cost $17,000 in '79, about 3x the cost of a Caprice Classic. Should have kept it.
My dad left me a real sleeper. 4 door Buick Electra 225. With a 455 bored out to 500 nitrous oxide, hurts floor shifter. 750 hp work was done by Motion Performance in Baldwin Long Island before EPA closed him down. I think he is now in business in Florida. Car also has headers and dual MagnaFlow mufflers. Loud as hell when you nail it.
Been in the hot rod/street rod world since I was 5. Hot/street rod are interchangeable with most people. Hot rod is a older term from jalopys in the ‘50’s. Street rod came from the 70/80’s when the scene got going strong. Mustang II suspension is a common swap and will give you rack/pinion steering along with a much better ride. Go with a aftermarket steering column and then you will have all controls like wiper and turn signal. Some have the headlights integrated as well. Speedway Motors is your friend. Sounds like you got a leak at the manifold as well. Sanderson makes nice headers!
I used block hugger style headers on a few of my fat fendered fords just make sure u get u a set with thick flanges where it mounts on to the engine block the thicker the better for not having exhaust leaks in the future also u wanna spend a lil xtra on the gaskets for those flanges but anyways that's one sweet ride after u por15 it I'd lay down some kind of lizard skin or sound deadner over it it made so much of a difference adding deadner thruout on the floors, doors & firewalls anywho like always enjoy ur video's keep up the awesome work
@@wal ya it makes such a night and day difference with the sound deadening along with alternative ways to add power assist accessories like electric power steering boxes and they also have electric powered a/c units u can buy now that no longer require a belt driven a/c compressors which save HP loss & space in the engine bay
You have a cool ride with a great stance. It has a cool sound. You upgraded the wiring. Lets face it none of us are rich let alone wealthy. We have bills to pay and some of us wives that limit what we might want to do with our "toy" rides. At some point you may be able to do the interior the way you would like it. In the mean time you have nothing to apologize for. Enjoy this very special and unique ride. i am confident that at any cars and coffee event you have the only 37 Ford four door street rod. BTW I like your "hair style". It's exactly like mine. We Rock!
She's a beauty bro!!😍👌 So cool you can go out on the town and take the whole family with you. There's so much potential in that Ford, it's unbelievable. That said, I'd love to see an IB setup in there. 😉👍
1979 ish Mustang column and wheel ? Great color! Nice to see a SBF in a Ford. AOD? If not, do it, it will make long drives so much quieter and economical.
Cool car and it has a ford motor yay, that por15 is amazing stuff, I have a gallon at home waiting for my next project. The interior is the same color as your scalp btw lol
You might need shorty headers, not as much performance gain as long tubes but long tube headers may not fit. Edelbrock makes nice headers reasonably priced. Bad ass car though.
Beautiful car big D. The stance is perfect and the fordor is more unique than the typical coupe. My suggestion is since you are still rolling with early 90’s wheels and white letter tires, why not stick with the theme? Build an all 90’s system in it and keep it all period correct.
For the exhaust system spend a few 100 more and get mendrel bent stainless. You'll be much happier with it instead of the aluminized crush-bent stuff a regular exhaust shop will use.
Honestly I would vote for a Flowmaster 40 series, but being frugal- you go to AutoZone and buy a Thrush "Welded" model muffler- it's exactly the same as a FM 40.
@Dave Micolichek Yes, it is. I'm not talking about a Thrush Glasspack, or a Thrush Turbo muffler. They do have another model, the Welded, which is exactly the same as a Flowmaster. Don't believe me? Go spend the $40 on one and cut it open. It's got the deltas inside, and other than the logo on the case you won't know the difference.
Exhaust for a early 79-93 302 the best sound is flowmaster 40's not the new ones but the older ones with less interior baffles. I second the factory 87-93 shorty headers. They're cheap and easy to get. My 83 mustang had those headers with an h piped and dual flowmaster 40's. It was a sweet sounding setup.
Big D. My 54 is using H4 headlights.. I purchased them for my 2013 Honda Interstate motorcycle. Led is super bright.... the other halo rings can be hooked to parking lamps for Daylight running lamp and also tied to turn signal will turn orange on the halos..... DM me though PayPal.... you will definitely love the price.... me and my little bitty stereo system is out of here. Love the car brother
Probably have to use a shorty header some that tuck in a full length wouldnt fit unless custime made also get an x pipe done to blend the exhaust pulses will keep it quieter as you wamt this to be your street cruiser. Here's some ideas of my own for your cruiser power steering power brakes and install holly's fuel injection system for better drivability and maybe vintage air for A/C the car is really cool lots of personality and is a good platform to make your own and improve
Speedway motors has well had anyway metal flake grant gt style steering wheels I bought a grey with silver flake few years back looks awesome n retro reminds me of metal flake vinyl seats on little motorcycle merry go rounds at fair when I was little late 70s.. enjoy Big D!
You've got a lot if big steps and a few jumps ahead of you, Looking good. I hope when you get the exhaust fixed you just run the tail pipes out the back. They really butchered that poor rear deck, omg that wiring SMH. At least it's in good hands now.
It’ll be a machine of beauty when you’ve finished, very nice platform for starters - I hope you know a good trimmer mate. Make it functional and consider further electronics; exhaust maximum 2.5” (either bank) or it’ll drone. Pacemaker headers? A sh1t load of work ahead of you, do enjoy 🇦🇺✌🏽
For headers I wouldn't cheap out buy ceramic coated headers first it's worth it I had 2 sets of headers rust with the parts store header paint. The only ones that would fit in a 37 Ford with a 302 swap would be a set of block hugger's, full length if you could find headers for unmodified suspension.
You may not need new headers. Just a manifold gasket. If the header has a small leak the guy at the muffler shop should be able to braise the leak closed.
You might want be able to upgrade the manual brake with a more efficient brake master cylinder. And headers there are some choices on summit racing website. 1937 FORD STREET ROD Patriot Tight Tuck Headers H8427 these are 185.00. Might have to look arround to see what you want as for headers.
Was just trying to find the newest video hopefully you see this. Sweet ride 😎. Was wondering if you ever dynoed audiopipe apcle 1800 strapped at 1 ohm.. this will be my second set up running them like that never went in protect really puts out follow you all the time.. would love to actually see what it's doing...
Nice job on the ride! I love to see some modern updates engine headlights etc. I have an 86 Ford f150 302 fi the sound of the motor is just as important as important to me as the sound of my system do me a favor and check out the headman shorty headers and cherry bomb pro 2.5 or 3 inch muffler they sound beautiful and have a sturdy build quality. If you want a little quieter ride check out the cherry bomb vortex. I run the pro series muffler on my 66 Chevrolet chevelle sbc 400 and the vortex on my 86 f150 302 and my 97 Ford mustang 3.8. Anyway hope to see more good work from you so keep it up 🙈🙊🙉 🤙.
Nice solid real steel rod you got there brother, everything always needs some work after almost 80 lol...good lord they really did some good work in certain parts and then allowed a blond guy to modify the rear deck but that can be fixed no big deal there meant to be driven you got it right there...I hate seeing trailer queens I understand there thoughts behind it but I agree to disagree with those guys I build em with the intention to put rubber to the road
Sweet car bigD ! That steering wheel needs to go though , also the exhaust not sure if has a crossover pipe (X or H ) if it dosent it adding one will smooth out the sound a lot ! 👍
Resto mods are usually 60's-70's "muscle cars" with modern amenities. A lot of them weren't full frame cars so not really swapping body's to newer frames. Whatever headers you decide to go with don't cheap out because you'll regret it.
Sanderson headers come highly recommended, do you know of these? www.sandersonheaders.com/sanderson-ff5-small-block-ford-221-302-header-set.html?category_id=33
@@wal It's not a company that I've personally used but they've been around longer than I have. Usually if an aftermarket part manufacturer last that long they make a good product. The specs on the headers in the link are better than a lot of other brands. But like I said I've never used them so I couldn't really give a recommendation either way.
I absolutely love the 1937 Fordor . And I really like yours , even more so that it has a Ford V8 rather than the usual ( and dumb ) SBC swap. Nothing kills a car more for me than when they swap in a modern engine and drivetrain anddont stay with the original manufacturer when possible .
Custom titanium headers. Check out PFI speed to see what they do. They will be slick, and nicer looking than some off the shelf number. (There are a lot of fabricators that can cut, bend and tig)
The 79-93 shorty headers mite it all depends how far your motor is sitting back I am putting a 91 5.0 in my 37 and have as far forward as it can go and the exhaust will just clear the stock X member and brake pedal assembly and steering , do you still have the trip setup?
Hifonics zeus zxx-1800.1D would be a great amp for the dyno i have one powering 2 1100 watts peak sony xplod 10’s and let me tell you they rattle my whole car , would love to see what kind of number it would push out i bought it for about 110 dollars on ebay about a year ago since then i havent seen one for less than 250
What's on the rear plate. Sorry drove me nuts seeing you cover the back plate but not the front. Love the car though man. Been seeing it forever in your amp dyno videos and though it was already all done. Cant wait to see the final results
Nice ride D cool car, I think you did good it's actually in nice shape that's alot of years for fingers to be fittlin with stuff so I'd say it survived well! Prob shorty headers b easiest, hedman are reasonable and hold up pretty good but get ceramic jet coated or you'll just have rusty headers in no time and ceramic keeps under hood heat down some, I ran flowmasters 40s for years n i hit my fortys it got to loud, a set of good turbos sound nice I run cheap cherry bomb turbos and sound sweet on built-up 350 on dual 3" exhaust. Walker/Dynomax Super Turbos are prob one best turbo mufflers on market . Is that an old Chrysler steering wheel??
Happy to see a Ford in a Ford... She's gonna be sweet af when you get her done man
Cool ride..I was pleasantly surprised to see a 302 ford in it..usually everyone just slaps a 350 chevy in street cruisers..
I noticed that too and when I was looking for a car it wasn’t a must for me that it was Ford powered, but I do think it’s cool to be all steel with Ford driveline
@@wal That Ford engine is nice, I really don't understand these guys that LS swap everything
@@fishyfool UA-cam "ls swapped ___" and you'll see why.
I'd much rather have that 302. It's purely a classic engine and very expensive to get. 5.3L Chevy would destroy the history of this car. It's a Ford classic!
@Dave Micolichek I understand LS's, but they are not appropriate in everything.

Nice car. Interested to see your system when completed.
@Willison use 87-93 Mustang 5.0 shorty headers. Very cost effective and easy to source. AND the best part, they come with a ball-socket style flange so leaks are near impossible
Great tip, thanks!
Perfect time to build a wall in the back when the interior is out. Love the car and the channel. Thank you
Wall kinda defeats the purpose of having room for the kiddos though
Nice ride Big D! The interior is rough but has a lot of potential for your own customization. Looks like a fun project! Good luck!
Yay!!!! The Ford is out!!!! So cool!! I've been waiting for the car for forever!!!
Yeah I’ve been driving it a couple of times a week for the past 2 months. It’s doing great, lots of fun to cruise with it.
I am a ford person and I am so glad you kept fitted with the ford 302. I would go with long tubed headers.
Speedway has a ton of hot rod parts. Also consider swapping in a hydro boost brake system and disc brake rear . Also Vintage Air has a great product. Just added one to an old Ford pick up.
I need to research the brake option as these manual brakes work but you really have to plan your stop!
I got my hydro boost off a Chevy Astro van out of a junk yard. Your going to need a power steering pump too. For the rear disk look at Crown Vic or some Mustangs. But it depends on which rear end is in the car now. If you have a Ford 8 or 9 inch it will be pretty easy. But you may just need a bigger master cylinder.

Love seeing a ford engine in ford classic. Love it make it bump man.. 2 15 inch free air behind seat, good stuff
Sweet ride -- my ex's sister had a Ford Model A with a rumble seat, kept original blue paint and ran well.
Whatever you choose for exhaust, be sure to use some type of crossover. I personally prefer the sound of a H pipe, more of a rumble and less raspy than a X pipe.
I'd use a large, straight core muffler, like a Magniflow. Flowmaster and other chambered mufflers have horrible drone.
I'd also have the tailpipes routed behind the car. The longer pipes smooth out the sound. It will also get the fumes away from the passenger compartment.
Don't use the LED conversion bulbs. Halogen will actually work better because the optics are designed for light that comes from a filament shaped source. Get some LED foglights and maybe some LED driving lights instead.
Gonna be epic when it’s done
Yeah boyee!
Nice ride, can't wait to see you fix her up.
One of my favorite pre-war sedans! 😎👍

It’ll be a machine of beauty when you’ve finished, very nice platform for starters - I hope you know a good trimmer mate. Make it functional and consider further electronics; exhaust maximum 2.5” (either bank) or it’ll drone. Pacemaker headers? A sh1t load of work ahead of you, do enjoy 🇦🇺✌🏽
You need to put a ford aod transmission behind that 302. Will let you cruise much happier and keep that 5.0 at a reasonable speed.
For headers I wouldn't cheap out buy ceramic coated headers first it's worth it I had 2 sets of headers rust with the parts store header paint. The only ones that would fit in a 37 Ford with a 302 swap would be a set of block hugger's, full length if you could find headers for unmodified suspension.
It looks damn great for a car that's almost 100 years old
83 to be exact
beutifull car bet its a blast to cruise in
Big D, have you ever shared a Spotify playlist with base and test tracks. I really like the tracks and beats you use.
You may not need new headers. Just a manifold gasket. If the header has a small leak the guy at the muffler shop should be able to braise the leak closed.
You might want be able to upgrade the manual brake with a more efficient brake master cylinder. And headers there are some choices on summit racing website.
1937 FORD STREET ROD Patriot Tight Tuck Headers H8427 these are 185.00. Might have to look arround to see what you want as for headers.
Very cool
YES SIR!!!VERY NICE!!!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Was just trying to find the newest video hopefully you see this. Sweet ride 😎. Was wondering if you ever dynoed audiopipe apcle 1800 strapped at 1 ohm.. this will be my second set up running them like that never went in protect really puts out follow you all the time.. would love to actually see what it's doing...
Nice job on the ride! I love to see some modern updates engine headlights etc. I have an 86 Ford f150 302 fi the sound of the motor is just as important as important to me as the sound of my system do me a favor and check out the headman shorty headers and cherry bomb pro 2.5 or 3 inch muffler they sound beautiful and have a sturdy build quality. If you want a little quieter ride check out the cherry bomb vortex. I run the pro series muffler on my 66 Chevrolet chevelle sbc 400 and the vortex on my 86 f150 302 and my 97 Ford mustang 3.8. Anyway hope to see more good work from you so keep it up 🙈🙊🙉 🤙.

Would love you see you test the "Rockville RWS12CA Slim 1200 Watt 12" Powered Car Subwoofer" off Amazon.
Really cool car
👌😬👍
Nice solid real steel rod you got there brother, everything always needs some work after almost 80 lol...good lord they really did some good work in certain parts and then allowed a blond guy to modify the rear deck but that can be fixed no big deal there meant to be driven you got it right there...I hate seeing trailer queens I understand there thoughts behind it but I agree to disagree with those guys I build em with the intention to put rubber to the road
Yeah man I wanted a driver
Nice house ya got there @Williston Audio Labs :)
The bank thinks so too 😳
@@wal Don't they always do? :)
Sweet car bigD ! That steering wheel needs to go though , also the exhaust not sure if has a crossover pipe (X or H ) if it dosent it adding one will smooth out the sound a lot ! 👍
What system is going in it?? Cool car!!!
Not fully decided yet
@@wal cool!can hardly wait!!!
Resto mods are usually 60's-70's "muscle cars" with modern amenities. A lot of them weren't full frame cars so not really swapping body's to newer frames. Whatever headers you decide to go with don't cheap out because you'll regret it.
Sanderson headers come highly recommended, do you know of these? www.sandersonheaders.com/sanderson-ff5-small-block-ford-221-302-header-set.html?category_id=33
@@wal It's not a company that I've personally used but they've been around longer than I have. Usually if an aftermarket part manufacturer last that long they make a good product. The specs on the headers in the link are better than a lot of other brands. But like I said I've never used them so I couldn't really give a recommendation either way.
I absolutely love the 1937 Fordor . And I really like yours , even more so that it has a Ford V8 rather than the usual ( and dumb ) SBC swap. Nothing kills a car more for me than when they swap in a modern engine and drivetrain anddont stay with the original manufacturer when possible .
Thanks for the comment! I hope to have more updates soon
Custom titanium headers. Check out PFI speed to see what they do. They will be slick, and nicer looking than some off the shelf number. (There are a lot of fabricators that can cut, bend and tig)
That would be sweet
The 79-93 shorty headers mite it all depends how far your motor is sitting back I am putting a 91 5.0 in my 37 and have as far forward as it can go and the exhaust will just clear the stock X member and brake pedal assembly and steering , do you still have the trip setup?
Thanks. No I replaced intake/Triple 2BC’s and went with Edelbrock 650 with electronic choke
Hifonics zeus zxx-1800.1D would be a great amp for the dyno i have one powering 2 1100 watts peak sony xplod 10’s and let me tell you they rattle my whole car , would love to see what kind of number it would push out i bought it for about 110 dollars on ebay about a year ago since then i havent seen one for less than 250
Nice
What's on the rear plate. Sorry drove me nuts seeing you cover the back plate but not the front. Love the car though man. Been seeing it forever in your amp dyno videos and though it was already all done. Cant wait to see the final results
Front plate is a generic Cali plate, not sharing my rear plate, sorry
Great classic ride 👍 looking forward to to seeing more ,,,,not sure on that steering wheel thou 😎
That’s in the plans for a swaparoo too 😜
Nice ride D cool car, I think you did good it's actually in nice shape that's alot of years for fingers to be fittlin with stuff so I'd say it survived well! Prob shorty headers b easiest, hedman are reasonable and hold up pretty good but get ceramic jet coated or you'll just have rusty headers in no time and ceramic keeps under hood heat down some, I ran flowmasters 40s for years n i hit my fortys it got to loud, a set of good turbos sound nice I run cheap cherry bomb turbos and sound sweet on built-up 350 on dual 3" exhaust. Walker/Dynomax Super Turbos are prob one best turbo mufflers on market . Is that an old Chrysler steering wheel??
The Steering wheel is Caddy! Very odd as the builder put Ford logos everywhere. Thanks for the tips 👍
Any updates on the 37?
