1956 Mercury Custom

I hope you can get those marine carbs sorted out, they look pretty cool on the Y-block and for sure you'll have people scratching their heads when they see them.

 

yeah...me to. I have a couple of rebuild kits on the way plus one carb that has already been professionaly rebuilt. It is always good to have a spare.

Have to let us know how the motor sounds with those headers. I want to hear them before i put them on my Y

 

I'll make a video when i get her running right and post it so you can here it.

 

Thanks a bunch!

 

I got the engine running real good. Transmission is topped off and seems to be working fine. I made a little video of the engine running...sounds real good. Ive got a set of cherry bombs to go on the merc laster. Right now im concentrating on geting her road worth.
I will try and get the video posted tonight.

 

Here is the video i promised.

Sweet! That marine set up is just to damn cool. Good job, man. You are inspiring me to break ground on my 55.

 

looks good

 

Thanks for the kind words.

Ive got the compressor for the air bags mounted in the engine bay. Engine is running good.
I got my new skirts in. They look so sweet on the car.

Tomorrow i am going to mount the other lake pipe and start on the rear floor boards.

 

hey kage, looks like your making some good progress since I last tuned in!

I have to pull the motor and trans back out and take the Trans back to the shop. I am thinking about just dropping a 351 with and AOD in its place.

The Merc is currently up FOR SALE! I am selling her to fund my Top Secret dream project. plus I am moving soon and the place I am moving to I just dont have the room for my Econoline, my bobber, my dream project, my current daily driver and the Merc. So I am letting her go for the sake of being able to build 1 of my dream cars.
