That's the same as a 215 Aluminum Buick is that right? Cool car BTW, what year is it?
I have a German Lloyd that had a 327 transplant back in the 60's. I'm building a 2x3 frame for it this summer.
Later Josh.

 

Sweet, tell us more about it.

Yeah that's right the old buick block. It's 1963 minor with a 1950 MM front end

I ain't got no hairs either. They slow me down.
That's a clean machine. Got any engine porn, I mean pics. Later man, Josh.

 

Darth Vader lost his helmet! Cool MM though!

 

Saw one of these Minors, with a SBC in it. The guy that built it up used a Toyota pickup frame. Really professional. Asked if it was for sale, nope another person had already secured it.

 

Quite easy to get used to...

Dig this.. (7:00mins in is my fave) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPC1ZAPo09Y

 

Nice moggy !! If I watch another video like that , I'll be yanking the 1275 outta my brother's '61 & dropping in a 215 ...

Here's his Mo , BTW :

 

I was just going to ask that?????? Nice ride


Edit please dont tell me you clutch with your right foot. I think Ide crash

 

The Morris has a unibody how did you reinforce it. Sorry about the spelling.

 

Just an FYI for anyone - on RHD cars , the shift pattern is just the same as on LHD cars . It's pretty easy to get used to shifting with the left hand . The only thing I don't care for is going through a drive-thru , lol !
The pedals are set up the same way as on LHD cars too ... clutch on left , brake in middle , gas on right . After you drive a couple RHD cars , it's really second nature .

 

Great link, thanks.....need to find somewhere to practice those 360's!

 

here's mine, scared the crap out of me....
