Looking at a 50 GMC 1/2 ton with a trashed bed,nothing in the local old junkyard worth dragging out and has been 30 years since I bought one for...
If you want to keep the original 3 speed you will have to go with a pre 65 289 to bolt up to the original trans unless a dual bolt pattern...
They gave up and it's going to get a 350 and a automatic trans.
The part that the hand crank fits in is actually the nut to hold the pulley on and presume the pulley is keyed,it's stuck on tight.
Are you going to use the hood sides,I have almost enough parts to build a stock four cylinder version but do not have hood sides.
Here is what the rest of the engine looks like.
Here it is.[ATTACH]
We have a 37ish flathead six in the shop to see if it can be saved,trying to get the crank pulley off so does anyone know if it's a press fit or...
Going to build this one as a 50s hotrod,found a set of stock rims and hubcaps from the 60s Monogram 40 pickup to use with the build.[ATTACH]
I do not tear up stuff now,I can make parts live longer then I did in my younger days and I want a old school swap.
I am starting to collect engines and parts for future projects but not finding anything decent at a decent price to put them in,might take me a...
It might not be any time real soon but if I live long enough it will happen,I have one part and will be trying to get the rest but the biggest...
I do have the first part for this project,it's a late 50s GM 3 speed overdrive.
Rode it the other day and staying a couple miles from it.
Actually I could be open to any of the other GM engines but the Caddy would be nice.
Just got out of the badlands.
Say it's 1957 and that 265 is not going to cut it and you want something bigger and back then Caddy had the largest GM engines so I presume the...
Looks like a blown Olds or Caddy in that 32.
This 60s Monogram 34 Ford arrived yesterday and I am going to rebuild it as a four cylinder version,need to get the banger speed parts from a...
I bring the big tool box with me but it stays in the truck and just bring what I think I need but can go back to the truck if I forgot a tool. I...
I put one of those in a 53 Olds,found it in a junkyard in a 62 Olds that sat so long it sunk to the frame. Still had freon and had it in the 53...
Fixed the temp gauge in the Sunliner,my dumb ass did not tighten the wires when I installed the NOS gauge.
If my memory is correct the big trucks had a angled oil filter assembly,now it was a canister filter but the spin on adapter might be able to,be...
The one thing nice about the Ford electronic ignition is that it can be made to resemble a point system,the more I think about it I have been...
Was not wanting to change to a 4 bbl but I do have a intake and could rob the carb and spacer from the engine that presently is in it that has a 4...
Might just have to do that.
