    #1104 (Gen1) Steve's 33 Rod Build - door panels

    Hello everyone. Steve (ff33rod) here up in the Vancouver area on the West Coast of Canada. I'm getting bored waiting for my engine parts and 33 kit to be delivered so thought I'd start my build thread. I've put some of the brake parts together so hopefully I can say I've officially started building

    Here's the plan for my '33, all new parts no donor:
    Powder Coated Chassis
    347 SBF power (see below)
    Tremec TKO600 (0.64 o/d)
    2015 Mustang IRS with 3.55
    Leather Roadster Seats
    Standard Hood
    Double adjustable Koni shocks front and rear
    Rear Exhaust
    Chrome/tilt steering column
    Electric power steering
    AC/Heat
    Roadster and Hard top options
    Power windows
    Bike Fenders
    12.88" Wilwood upgrade front and rear with Black Calipers

    I decided building the HR wasn't enough, I might as well do an engine too I chatted with the BluePrint guys and they were super responsive and helpful but didn't have exactly what I wanted nor did anyone else have something right out of the box. I was looking for something in the 450 HP and torque range. So since I'd have to get someone to build it for me I decided, what the heck I might as well put together an engine too. To avoid all the high precision machining, I decided to go with purchasing a short block, adding a known combination of top end components along with other added bits. Enter the gents at TRE Performance in California. Here's the list...

    TRE Short Block Performance 347
    AFR-195 top end kit, TrickFlow Trackmax hydraulic roller stage 2 cam
    Autotec -5cc flat top pistons
    Canton Racing 1/2" steel main girdle
    block paint
    Edelbrock Performer RPM air gap
    Holley Sniper EFI, HyperSpark ignition system
    March Pulley System, with alternator and AC compressor
