Hidden under this stock looking 49-50 Frod Mercury, Kustom Bitz has made up a 31 spline 9" diff with EL disc brakes and a tru track centre. Custom extra capacity fuel tank was shaped to maximise the fuel capacity and in doing so gained an extra 40%, but it is all hidden within the body lines so you can't tell. Baffled with centre feed fuel well tank is powder coated black and lined. Kustom Bitz 2.5" custom fitted stainless steel exhaust is fed by custom long tube try-y headers and runs four straight through mufflers and a pair of resonators with H pipe to keep the 351W high comp, big heads with roller cam engine under wraps while not restricting flow.

This pic shows the competed engine swap before the front sheet metal went on. Customer was after a factory looking engine swap as if Ford intended the 351 Windsor was always ment to be there. We built a torque monster roller cammed 351W driving a C10 Auto and 31 spline locker 9" diff. Custom fabricated Tri-y headers stepping up at every transition to 3" to maximise scavenging and mid range torque then exiting through a 2.5" sports twin system with H pipe. It sounded tough and was exciting to drive.
Here is a custom brake pedal conversion Kustom Bitz did on this 1949 - 50 model Ford Mercury brake pedal pivot to enable the stock brake pedal to push backwards to an underfloor mounted 8" brake booster and master cylinder for a 4 wheel disc brake conversion. It uses proper soft metal bushes and an adjustable push rod and clevis, and it uses the stock Ford mounting holes in the chassis.
