For sale is a pile of stuff to get you started on your next hot rod. I ordered this frame from Riley Automotive in 2018. Set up for a Model A with SBC and T5, not channeled. 8" Z in the rear, 4" Z in the front. It's a spring-behind setup. Ordered with the following options: - adjustable trans mount and ladder bar tabs - body mount package (cowl tabs, welded inserts) - SBC motor mounts - ladder bar mounts w/ clevises, bushings, bolts pair I have the original invoice for this showing total cost of $1,895. I put the frame in etching primer when I got it, and also did some crappy welds when I was learning for the wishbone mounts which immediately broke off (you can see this in the photos, I was a stupid teenager). I also cut the ladder bar brackets to begin welding to the rear end and setting the pinion angle, but ended up not getting around to this before I had to move. Other than that the frame is pretty much as-new. Most of a 307 Chevy motor. You can tell your friends it's a "stroker 283." It's been painted Ford green in "3WLarry" fashion. The water pump is new. What you see pictured is what you get, I am not sure how much work it will need in order to run again. Also included is some early 60's Chevy rear end out of an old dirt track car. It had cool old homemade ladder bars welded to it, which I cut off to run the new Pete & Jake's style ladderbars that came with the Riley frame. Rear Spring is a Posie's Super Glide with reverse eye main leaf. Model A axle/drums/wishbone/kingpins included. The axle has had new bushing installed and reamed correctly. The wishbones are split, I was planning to use those on the build, not sure if the caster is correct or not so you can do the math on that one. No spring included on the front end. I think the perches are new repros if I remember correctly. Steering hoops, tie rod, and drag link are Speedway. Original roundback Ford spindles for juice brakes. Rear wheels are 15" new steelies from Summit or Speedway and wrapped with brand new Coker Firestone 8.20-15s to match the bolt pattern of the Chevy axle. Project has been on jack stands so these are free of flat spots and dry rot. Non-WC T5 is included too, as is the correct bellhousing to mate the SBC to the T5. This came out of one of the Jeep CJs with the Iron Duke motor (if I remember correctly) and are getting a little difficult/expensive to find. No clutch. The transmission is in primer. I started this and ended up moving across the country and had to leave it behind due to space constraints, so this has been stored inside the garage in Maryland. I will just never get around to it. I do have an engine hoist there to help load it up, if needed. Should be an easy project for someone. Happy to send additional photos of anything specific, price is $2,500 OBO.
