FORD?
I think the problem is like the reverse of a kidney transplant instead of the body rejecting the kidney your engine is rejecting the car. Had to poke fun.
Really sweet looking car. I have always liked some of ford's body designs.

As I am sure you can all understand the car has been put on hold for the moment but as soon as I have done the timing I will let you know the result. Thanks Alan.

Hi all just to update you I have done the timing and it has stopped backfiring checked the thermostat and it is a 180f the temp is at 180 -190 on open roads but goes up to just over 200 when in town so I am going to try a second fan to try and keep it cool. Thanks for all the help.

Update
Fitted second fan car is now running well, temp sits at 180, no more backfire. One more question could someone tell me how to convert 360 cu in into cc as I need to put the exact cc on my log book to register the car? Thanks Alan.

exact cubic inches = 359.9, i just used the calculator on my computer - pi(R squared) X 3.58 stroke X 8 cylinders.
now for the cc's 359.9 ci = 5897.68 cc's.
but if you just use the number 360 to do the cc calculation - you get 360ci = 5899.32 cc's
these engines were commonly known as 5.9 liter engines. The 90's v8 dodge trucks came with either a 5.2 liter (318 ci) or 5.9 liters (360 ci)
