cragar speed parts.....

I used to own a Cragar/471 blower and if memories serves me correct i think that they had collaborated with Mr.Gasket but i'm not positive,i think i read that in a popular book about superchargers!The same book you see advertisedin all the aftermaket supply warehouses!

 

Awesome post Kev! I really appreciate it! I never realized how much stuff Cragar offered. I knew you had a pedal in your collection. Any other Cragar stuff?

 

Thanks Kev some cool stuff there.

 

Here's an original CRAGAR ohv head on a B block. The intake is a rare Stromberg-Bendix downdraft that was sold through Ford dealers in the early thirties.

 

Kev's post shows steering wheels. I have a gold metalflake steering wheel with the Cragar logo on my '39. No idea about it's vintage though. Mike

 

here is my 303 oldsmobile 471 blower intake
also got blower front and back cover by cragar that dont really show on pics

i love old cragar stuff, especially the blower stuff, wish they had made a cragar logo valve cover would have been cool!!!

 

Those are Girling calipers. Commonly used on lots of Euro stuff in the '60's. They look the same as the ones on my old 1965 Sunbeam Tiger. There used to be a conversion in the early 70's that used Volvo brakes, which probably also used Girling stuff too. The pads are most likely common to many makes late 60's to early 70's, so take those pads to the Import store for a comparison.

I have a couple of Cragar steering wheels, this red one and a black one thats in my Comet.

 

Some old Bell/Cragar catalog scans:

1958

 

1962

 

Thanks a bunch for posting those catalog scans. I was trying to figure out what year my Cragar brake set-up was offered. There it is on the back cover. They show an Airheart caliper, but that's the same rotor as mine, mated to a Ford hub.





The last pic shows it all back together. Thanks Muttley!!

 

No problem, let me know if you need anything else from the catalog.

 

I have a bunch of this stuff too. Love it , See it Buy it disease.

 

Part for Cragar SuperCharger

 

goto www.roadsters.com/wheels/ then go down the page to Cragar - I love the earings (for my wife ofcourse)..............I have a 6-71 sbc intake from Cragar.

 

Clip on's wow,,those are old

 

I think they made blower stuff.
The engine in my jeep pickup is held in and adapted to the tranny by an old Craiger engine swap kit.
They pretty much marketed one of everything and as the market dwindled for specific parts they dropped them.

 

few more Cragar doo dads

 

How old is this thread ! Thats ok, there's some great info in here!

I just found a Cragar bellhousing #307 the 1961 catalog say's its for "a 55-61 Chevy (also 348)"


Is this supposed to fit all small block chevys being mated up to the ford Flathead transmissions?

Also the catalog lists them for $44 wondering what a fair offer would be to purchase it.


sorry about the crappy pictures; all I had was my cellphone camera

 

Resurrecting an old thread. Here is my Model a Ford Cragar valve cover. Hard to get good pics due to the intake and exhaust manifolds in the way.

 

I sure thought the Cragars made my 57 faster!

 

Wheels can make or break the look of most cars but, to me the Cragar S/S wheels look great on dam near every car as long as the right size is chosen.

 

I have a gennie 4-71 intake for my early Chry Hemi......... Did away with the centered pop off, and ran a Wieand out back..... Wondering how many were made.......
