    Welcome. Show us some pictures of your Husky. I did a 59 Husky with a 302 and am now working on a 392 powered 57 Husky. Let me know if you need anything....I may be able to help with parts or have ideas to save you some time.

    Here is what I am starting with
    I am also going to use a ford 302
    What did you use for the front suspension? These cars have such a narrow track . I would love to hear about any parts you may have for sale especially bumpers door handles and window cranks or any chrome goodies [​IMG] [​IMG]
