    gathering a few things for a new project. kind of thinking along the lines of a 20's ford lakes modified roadster, nothing set in stone yet but the powerplant. since i don't tend to do anything ordinary, here is my newest jewel. a 346 cubic inch, flathead V-8 from a 1946 cadillac he****. and, topping it with a wieand 144 supercharger. should be good for a few hundred horses, lol, backed by the original 3-speed trans, or, i may end up making an adapter and mounting a later model GM 5-speed. i am a 20+ year toolmaker/welder/fabricator, so, making the parts are easy.its a start, should be good for lots of grins.....
