New Build... 33 34 Ford 5 window Coupe. 1933 1934

Oh yeah got the new chrome spindles in too.

 

I love 33-34 5w's . Really glad you won't chop it,Henry got the 5w perfect the first time.

 

Yeah I don't fit very well in chopped cars... The front end will squat a lot, and the 33/34's already got a "chopped" look in my opinion

 

Love it

 

I picked up a 354 hemi (removed from a wrecked car in 1954 and put on a shelf), with adapter and 1940 lasalle ****** today.

 

Todays results, started possitioning the hemi in the frame. Size wise it's a little bigger than I thought it'd be. If anyone is familiar with this adaption, Cad LaSalle to ext bell 331. I just picked up a motor and it had this adapter and lasalle ******, no clutch/flywheel/bearings or t/o arm.

Can you tell me what to look for?

Thanks for any help
Brandon

 

Now that the engines in I can re-install the original k member and bolt one of my floors to it. Then the body'll go on Sunday for mock-up and firewall fabrication.

Look at this hemi intake I scored! NOS Weiand Wc3d 3x2 intake. Holycow!

 

Cool!!!

 

Great stuff, keep us posted. Got 34 5 window and a Hemi here.Check my profile for some early build pics, it,s come on a bit since then but I can,t post pics for a while as the,re on my pc and I,m laid up with a busted ankle so am using a borrowed laptop.

 

This weekend I got the K memeber measured, squared and tacked in... also I have a 33 set of pedals soaking in vinegar, it's going to take some cutting to get them to fit.

 

Heres some update pics: chrome strombergs and starting on the fuel lines...

 

Cool!!!

 

Nice! Congrats on the 331. Will be watching with intrest.

 

Todays progress, I worked on the door hinges, got the door hung, and set the body on the ch***is to start on the firewall.

 

Well looking forward to the tri state swap meet, am looking to buy some ****. I got my grill bars tacked in so I thought I'd set it on to see how it looks. I got the front end put together.

 

Look's pretty tough so far!!
keep us posted...

 

Man that hemi looks right at home in there. Nice work!

 

Good to see you're using a Hemi. Keep up the great work!

 

Cool thanks for the input, I love the hemi too. I havent done much lately, the firewall is done. I get my quickchange in the mail today, so I will start putting that together. I finally have everything for the 3 speed lasalle ******, except clutch and pressure plate. Lately I have gotten a couple offers on trading my unchopped body for a chopped one, so I dont know if I wil entertain that idea or not. I am still looking for an original /waiting on Steves Real Steel for their decklids to be available.

 

I have a 34 with the 33 doors.
With the SBC 350.. Hemi's are so much more $ but the wow factor is gotta be worth the expense.

 

Hey thanks! Its it looks pretty cool on the car. Well I got my quickchange last night. Will post some pics of the Q/C build tomorrow!

 

COOL! Looking forward to seeing this around town!

 

Need more updates!!!

 

Ok Here ya go... I spent all day on the quickchange. I used new 3" DOM, currie 9 inch ends and large bearing backing plates and drums. It is 56.5" wide. The center section is a Halibrand 301, Frankland bells, and a DPI posi 31 spline unit. I just ordered a stainless 4 bar kit from Speedway.

 

Very cool.. I'll be watching this project!

 

Yep Hiboy coupe powered by a hemi quick change good recipe I am cooking the same soup but I threw in some 33 chevy 3 window I have a leed on 34 5 window maybe I should finish my coupe first but I can not resist the urge to go look at it . Are you setting up your rear end I have franklin 3 " dom tubes wiht big bearing 9" ends and a DPI gold locker but no one here knows how to set it up for street and I know there is difference any help would be great P.S love that car I guess there's a ford in my future.

 

nice project, I love the Laslle trans!

 

Thanks! I just want a car that will be simple, old-school and be something different on the street. It seems like evry 33/34 around here is a custom or billet trailer queen. I love horsepower, but as I found with my blown 32, high horsepower is tough on the wallet and not very street friendly. I hope the hemi and lasalle will suffice in that area.

 

How much time do you get to cruise in Colorado a season?

 

Mid April to Halloween generally. ****, today its 58 degrees here.
