Very Cool! Buy Your buddy a beer or something... Looks like a Cal Custom Oil Breather on the fill tube. The Edmunds Aircleaners are bad ***! I like the tightness of the Howard Ajustable lifters as oppose to my Thomas ones. Build a 33 and put it back in it where it belongs! Cool Score!
Great Find!! Way to cool. I dig the shopping cart stand that the motor is on. I am going to have to make one of those for my motors.
cool score,johnny,I have one of those intakes,2 2 edmunds that Ive had a while,like those air cleaners..The cart looks like one I just got with some 409s I bought up in superior,I think mine is of the vitage variety,probablly red owl stock,knowing your location,in wisc also,you may be in luck too.
WOW That sure looks like a state of the art hotrod build from that era. That's enough to build a car around. Usually you start with the car but in your case the process might get reversed.
Since you asked about the setup...It seems that you have the wrong carbs for those aircleaners. That's why your aircleaners don't aim correctly. Very rare and early aircleaners, also the manifold is the early open web design. Edmunds made a higher rise closed web 303 which is later. Those carbs need to be the GM Rochesters like this:
Later 303 Edmunds higher rise manifold. 49/50 Olds carbs. Going in my beater 32. Love these Olds threads on HAMB.
I dont know, but it got sold in the real late 60's or early 70's. It sounded like the car was ***embled in the early fifties. Maybe keep an eye out next time you're going through your albums. No, it has edmunds adaptors to run those aircleaners. They dont sit right because of the thermostatic choke on the rear carb. I also dont have them tightened down, they're just sitting on there. Your motor is bad***. I love those valve covers. The motor is going to go in something bad***, in this configuration. Some early 50's style hot rod, or custom. Probably a hot rod...
Johhny... My buddy has a '32 3 window that used to have a 303 in it. He put in a sbc after he bought it almost 40 years ago... I wonder if it's the same mill?
This guy seemed pretty adament that it was a 33 3 window. And the old man switched the olds for the chevy himself, and then sold it. At least that's the story I've heard. Does he have any pictures of it? Dude, you should stop by either on your way down to the roundup, or on your way back. Either way, I think it's time for the duct tape ball to come back to austin...
Life is hard, and it's up for sale in the cl***ifieds. Someone COOL needs to buy it and put it in a car that is deserving or something so bad***. 2500 bucks. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=370132
I dont see why not. I've been on the hunt for pictures of the motor in the car... I'll keep hunting after the motor sells too.
