    the white 65 cyclone is a car that i'm building for a freind.It's a real cyclone that had a hi po 289 and factory 4 speed. I installed a tube axel and was able to use the stock steering. The engine is a full roller 331 stroker with hillborn injection. I built a custom set of fender well headers for it, Trans is a ford toploader. The front lip of the rear fender wells have been moved forward 4 1/2 inchs. The leaf springs are moved inboard, it will have early style box traction bars. The rear end is a narrowed 9 inch ford, willwood disc brakes,aluminum strange center section with 4.56 gears.My freind should have lots of fun with the car when i get it finished.

    You look like you are having too much fun. I almost like that white comet better than the 55. what is the front axle in the 55 out of? what kind of rpms will the 292 turn? standard or auto?

    The front axel is ford econoline with stock chevy steering.The engine has only been in the car for one week so i'm not sure yet i got 9 grand out of the 331 i was running before the 292.i'm running a super t-10 four speed with 4.56 gears in the ass end.

    the clear hood scoop came from a freind that had a few made.
    the front axel is ford econoline and the steering is stock 55 chevy i'll try to get some pic's up of the set up tomarrow.

    Very nice cars. Love the 55. Just started the front end on mine this past week end. MAS axle and springs arrived today. Maybe a "roller" by the end of this week. How much did you move the front wheels ahead? I am thinking about 1 1/2" to 2" forward on mine.

    I moved the front wheels forward 2". the front end work on your 55 looks great. Are those pre fab rails?
