the de-construction of a coupe

Jeff, this would look real purdy under the missing hood.

 

Cool, when are you gonna bring that engine over?? You will need to bring a hoist, also.

 

312, dual four barrels, E series bird, what do I win?

 

Olds Rocket ! Gets my vote !

 

I wont turn down any cool engine that shows up at my place that is ready to run.

 

I'm workin on the engine part, but you will have to borrow Gary's hoist.

 

Good for you! Taking a running vehicle and tearing into it is tough. Looking forword to updates.

 

haha.... hell yeah! Y-block power, here we come!

 

Just say no to overhead valves....

 

Ok, no more talk of valves in the heads....... unless......

 

unless this guy comes through for you!!..... Those Weeks guys are known to come through for you... We'll see what he comes up with - hopefully a Y-block!

Malcolm

 

It just wont be the same without the flatty. Y block are gay anyways, If you are going different go Pontiac or Olds

Weres the updates

 

I am planning on making a little progress this weekend, I will post a little update.

 

malcom the y block is no match for the caddy !!

 

J- Izzat how you prune your fuel lines?

 

.....
No that there is a nebraska sawzall

 

Hey I like that Caddi motor.

Now that is funny.

 

Them's fightin words Dirty31!!!! I feel a grudge match a-brewin for next years HAMB drags. But be warned, that gay Y-block of mine shown above has been proven to eat up and spit out Olds motors.........

 

This is gonna be fun!!!!

 

Well, just an update. No pictures at this time... The overhead valves fell through, so flathead it is!!!!!
The block is at the machine shop, hopefully pick it up on wed. I am shooting for making the Drags......

 

oh how I covet your 5 winder...pics, pics!

 

Well...................you could always put something ontop of the flattie to really wake it up!
Then you wouldn't have to worry about those other motors with "valve covers".

 

Here is a little picture that I use to keep me motivated. A little pic getting stuck in the yard of the famous customizer... Gary Howard on the trip to Austin for the Round Up.......

What memories.......

I will try to start to keep the pictures coming as this progresses.

I am not going to reinvent the hot rod ... just clean up an old jalopy and put in a little more "motor"

Jeff

 

You and Jay need to get busy! The drags are just around the corner. Sounds like you guys will be a race to watch again.

 

Damn, that would be bad ***. But I think that little blower is out of my price range and I would have an unfair advantage on Nosurf. We should be a close race.

Kerry, I think I should be able to make it.... if all the parts are available.

I think it is ok if I show up unprepaired, it would be ok if Jay takes the victory this time , he is due.

Here is some of the carnage, nothing too bad , just bearings down to copper, and the crank almost 7 thou under. Time for a rebuild.

 

Thnaks for the updates!

 

Looks like you got your moneys worth out of those bearings!

 

Get it done

Rusty

 

i have to put a new motor in my 32 coupe too, the one thats in it is tired.

have fun
