Post swap meet score

Check out what I picked up four months after the fall Springfield, OH swap meet. I met the previous owner there and really wanted this but didn't have the cash. I got his number and called him several days later and we talked it over and he said he'd take a little more then his original asking price to hold it. See, this was towards the end of November and I was scheduled to have surgery the week after Thanksgiving. Knowing I wouldn't have a solid paycheck coming in until the end of January, he said he'd sit on it. I got back from Cali last week, called him up and sure enough he still had it waiting for me. So I went up, paid for it and came home nine kinds of happy. This will look sweet on the SBC that's in my '34. I even found a set of 283 valve covers with the 290 HP stickers still intact. This set-up will complete the look.

Anyway, I paid $300 for the set-up. It's a factory Chevy aluminum intake with Carter WCFBs on it. Sure they need to be rebuilt, but it's a start and I'm happy.

Good find!!!

Hey I was curious if you could please PM me with a price on the 34 you have?

 

That intake will never fit that isuezoo... So ya might as well pack it up and send to me

 

How about I send you the first receipt for fuel after it's installed?

Send me a Jonesy's tenderloin and I'll send you a better picture.

haha, you guys are comedy. nice score btw.

 

I can talk to Lil John like that cuz he's my big brother, in several ways...

That and if you even had a Jonesy's tenderloin, you'd want another one too. They're pretty damn good.

A little inspiration. Nothing says late 50's high performance street engine like a dual quad set up. I think you stole it. Great find!

 

Thanks. Now I just gotta learn how to rebuild carbs! I have two chances here.
