What's the Holy Grail of rare parts?

That Ranger motor is cool Josh. I have one too, and we're putting it in a roadster one of these days. Probably after the Bonneville car is done. You and Kevin should compare notes to see if you both arrived at the same conclusions regarding mating a trans.

They're not really that rare, if you know where to find them. I picked up ours at Oshkosh last year.

 

How about good cam cores for Stude motors. And a 4-71 blower intake for a Stude. You see what I'm getting at here.

 

aparently, a chrysler centura diff. Especially if u want it for an early falcon!

 

I'm partial to those wacky Meteor fuel injectors... I originally planned to run a 6x Meteor 100 setup on my coupe, but the cfm was too much so we cut it down to three. Gordy Cushman set mine up and they run like butter.





The three leftovers will probably go in my next car. The 100s are pretty rare (I don't think more that 100 or so were ever made), but they aren't nearly as rare as the Meteor 200. Django snapped one up at the Garage Days swap in Chicago a few weeks back, and it's the only 200 I've ever seen. I doubt more than 10 were ever made.

 

Crossram intake for early hemi!

 

10 ever made? No shit?? OMG!

And to think we are going to waste it on an EVO sporty! Hahaha! The first thing Kevin said was "your bike will rule now!" Hahhaha!

I'll try to get a pic of it and the Ranger tonight when I'm out there.

 

I love those! Every time you post 'em, I get wood...

And your sig is actually the inscription inside my wedding band! People ask when it means all the time, and I make something different up for each person! LOL!

my buddies wife is still looking for a dikphor - she claims they are rare and only available with car nutz.

 

So that's were that flatty went, that motor is just Wicked. The one that got away HA HA HA

 

I agree... I posted that back when we first got it. Now that I have done my home work, I realize there still out there. Hell, one went on Err-bay last week for around $750. I'd like to have one when I get some money ahead. I want one in a roadster. They are neat engines. there's a couple Airplane guys around here with a few.

Who is "Kevin" I would like to talk to him about the tranny mating..

Have him PM me or E-mail me at fast.32@hotmail.com


I have my Fly wheel mounted, I built a bell housing out of an old top loader housing (picture below)and we are running a modified model A gear box. Its been made into a Two speed.

Don't know how rare these are, but...Holley 3-bolt carbs and Eelco Air cleaners/with a honey comb like air cleaner




Air Cleaner


Eelco




Holley


Both



I would love to use these once again, but this time it would have to be on an Edmunds 2x2 Intake. I think it would be crazy

 

Sweet, pops always bragged, "you know that 54 truck has a corvette split exhaust manifold, that's pretty rare, son."
Guess he was right

 

Time. Amen brother!

 

all manner of great stuff came out of his mind. not so talked about here. his DO set ups and blocks are keen.

but I will take one of these any day...

 

Here's a pic of the Meteor 200.



It's under guarded supervision at all times.

 

How about a pair of new in box NOS C7RA-6050-B Canadian heads:

 

Skull Air Cleaners and Matching fuel blocks with the fuel line comming out their mouths and making a spider web of fuel line and...................

 

How about any speed parts for a 317 Lincoln Y-block. I think Ive only seen anything one time.

 

The 30 or so 57-58 Chrysler and Desotos with Bendix Fuel Injection engine set-ups, like this 58 Desoto Adventurer

 

1958 Only!
Not on 57s

 

You're correct. Rarer still.

 

good governors and solenoids for 3spd overdrives.

 

There's TONS of em in the South... people are practically givin em away, just gotta ask for em!

 

Y-Block parts: Phase I complete Paxton Supercharger (about 50 made), Hilborn Fuel-Injection set-up (141 made), Vertex and Mallory Magnetos with tach-drive(? made), 6x2s carbs set-up, Bud Elhert 45 degree finned alum valve covers(made in 1957). Have all above on 3 different cars, but ALWAYS looking for more. Oh yes, FORD SOHC/Cammer Factory exhaust manifolds. H & M threw them away! NOS set sold for $10K recently!!! Tom Kitchen owner/builder 1957 Ford Fireball Roberts replica (Google Circle Track Mag article),building '57 T-Bird Battlebird and have customized '56 Vicky with 6x2s & Elherts. Can email pixs.

 

A few of mine would be mag halibrands, hildebrandt valve covers for an olds, no-name valve covers for an olds and an olds flame thrower

 

How about a Pines winterfront grille for a 32 Ford!!

 

wing widows for a running yugo!

 

235 corvette intake and exaust, 235 offenhauser side plate cover.

 

What about the 5 speed trannys that use to be behind Hemis in Cunningham cars during the mid 50's?

Oh and has '32 Steel bodies been discussed?

 

Hmmm, always thought it was the last part I needed to get a car out of my shop so we could actually get paid for the job.
