Hot Rods The 4 Banger hot rod picture thread.

So I just acquired this little gem from my close friend Marky who gave me a great deal on it. It is going to go on my A Model A chassis/running gear project that is Hupmobile model R bodied that was a touring but I think I want to go with a mystery turtleneck (that need to get pictures of also so hopefully somebody can help me identify it too) I acquired it a a week or two ago at an estate sale. Thinking about it I'm going to have to call this car the estate sale build, almost all the parts of came from estate sales lol

So I am posting hoping somebody could give me a little bit of information about this intake manifold I can't find anything online now that being said I didn't look at 6,000 pages online either but I did look at quite a few posts and model A type stores.
Anyways it's a downdraft intake the only thing it says is "hot rod" I plan on using it as I think it will compliment the former leather belt driver model A engine I got from another estate sale that was here in what's left of the orange groves in Riverside Ca. So far I've acquired a Schneider mystery grind camshaft that I am pretty sure is brand new (I am a rebel I'm not going to figure out what kind it is that would ruin the mystery) a lightened flywheel that I have no idea how to tell if it has been drilled for a "modern" 8ba type clutch, I managed to horse trade for a Model B distributor from a good guy that is also local here to me... now to find is a cylinder head in the 6;1 to 7;1 range although I got to find one used because why break the cheapest build trend but that is another story and I will cross this bridge shortly too.
Anyways I was hoping somebody could give me a little information on this intake manifold or point me in the right direction as I said above also would a holley 94 be about the right size for a mildly built A engine and also has anyone used one of these brand new holley 94 style carburetors that you can buy for $130ish bucks on Amazon or eBay that are brand new?
I have had pretty bad experience with wore out carburetors at this point and I am hoping to find a new one that I don't have to spend 9,000 hour building or rebushing.

I bought this car 2 years ago,l made some modification and that is the result.

 

More photos and info on the sliding ragtop please!!
Car looks killer by the way

 

Here’s my 29 banger roadster. Not perfect but a fun car to knock around town in.

 

I underestimated the work when l was installing the sliding ragtop.
For me the most difficult work was the replacing of the top following bending the rain gutter and straightening the steel sheets that I had welded in.The result of the work isn’t perfect but for me it’s okay.During this work I often regretted having started this work at all but now when I drive around with the open top I would not want to miss it under any circumstances.

 

I recently put one of those sliding ragtops in a model a and it wasn't too hard. I can get more photos when I get to work.

 

I have gotten into older 4 bangers! 318CID 1910 Buick.

 

There are a lot of cool bangers other than Ford. But not many that get attention here. You have to search for them. It is a supply issue I believe.

 

Alot of these 28-29 Ford roadsters and tubs could use my folding windshield posts for a racer look. They are here on the HAMB in "Parts for sale" here's the link

All these Bangers make me want one.

 

1981 Pontiac 151cu/in, 50's Crager adapter, to 1935 transmission, stock torque tube, with Laycock overdrive, to stock differential.

 

About time for a bump. Will dig up some photos

 

my banger powered Vicky that made the trip from Tijeras, New Mexico to Dewey, OK trouble free at 65 to 70 mph

Here's my 28 roadster. Rambler Keg. c

 

Very nice!

 

Hot damn do I need to lower this.. engine should be getting a few Kong accessories shortly!

 

first drive.

 

The roadster below it has a perfect stance. It would involve a lot of work to get your sedan sitting like that but if you are up to it you would have a great look. Pretty sweet now.

 

my coupe has a flattened and reversed eye front spring, and a 33-36 axle.
The rear features a T spring
@Retson the Racer this is probably the least amount of work to lower your sedan

 

man, you've got frames stacked like cordwood .....

 

Here’s my model A coupe I built over the winter. It was a rough car but it’s the first old car I ever road in. My parents took me to my baptism in it as a stocker my Dad built as a teenager. The car sat from when I was 5 until this past fall when I dug it out of the garage. My Dad had dreams of restoring it properly but I’m a hot rodder and when I inherited I chopped it and built a hot rod.
I e got a miller OHV conversion and some other stuff for it but I’m enjoying it with a rebuilt banger and high compression head at the moment. First time on the road in 43 years.

 

I do like the painted grill shell, looks sharper than the usual swap.

 

Thanks. It’s a 30 truck grill shell my Dad gave me years ago.

 

I've got a 4" dropped 32 axle with 32 spindles, just saving up to build hydros and then I'll be lowering it as far as I can go with a stock frame!

 

Greedy... In other news - I've found the missing wheelbarrows!
