Ford's 1935 models all had an improved engine with a better built crankshaft and an efficient crankcase ventilation system which Ford named "direct flow". In 1935 Ford moved the engine forward on the chassis 8 1/2 inches. Ford touted that the move forward distributed the weight much better front to back. With the engine moved further forward theframes were redesignedas well. The new frame design also moved the passenger seating forward which centered passenger weight more toward the cars midpoint. Because of these weight distribution changes, the 1935 Fords were built with longer chassis springs. The spring base was increased 6 1/2 inches.Engine and Improvements
