I'm in the process of making my 31 Tudor a safe, comfortable, reliable touring car. Finished installing the Randy Gross steering today. What a difference! I cannot say enough good about Randy and his products. Stipe shocks are next. Ready to roll down the road!

That's one thing that's so nice about the Tudor, it's the only car style that I can think of that is so easy to move the driver's seat back for more comfort. I plan to move mine back a few inches also.
For a nice touring car, I plan to use a high compression head, counterweighted crank, and 3.27 rear end gears to slow the engine speed at 45 MPH.

i am only 5'11" but i like my seats back all the way in any vehicle i drive... when i get in a Tudor with the stock brackets even if they are turned around for that extra inch or whatever i get cramped up. no way its enjoyable like that to me.. i remove the 6-7 inch adjusters and put the stokers back in before going to competition judging.3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

I forged some long brackets out of a 12" black 1/2" bolt. Using the head as a support at the back or rear of extension. Coupled with 96 escort seats that have the adjustment on them, there great.
Mitch, I bought those seat extenders when I first got the car going. I found them hard to adjust and eventially they keep coming loose ect. That was over 15 years ago.

IMHO putting a high compression head on an otherwise stock engine is not wise and can damage the other parts of the engine. If you want to increase the performance of the engine go with a touring engine from a reputable builder. That's head, cam, valves, flywheel, inserts, and a rejetted and tuned carb. Do it right.
