I don't know who brad is, but I ain't him.
Those aren't rivets. Those are nails!
Makes sense. What I don't know about engine building could fill the grand canyon. I've always got lots of ideas though. And I'm learning more...
Just so you guys know. Those sponsored links (ads) down the right side of a Google search page aren't generated by demographic profiling or...
Longer rods?
That's awesome. Just as an FYI, I think the 164" Corvair engines have the same size cylinder bores as the big 320" straight 8 Buicks. With a...
Got any pics of what this might look like? Obviously, you probably don't have pics of this set-up on a Buick, but at least on a motorcycle?...
Chuckspeed, Looking at that log intake again, it got me to thinking about other options. Do you think 4 side-draft weber style carbs would work...
Well, since you live in Detroit, you ain't going to be able to see that intake at the Petersen anytime soon. Or at least that's what I thought......
Are you absolutely sure it was in fact a Chevy truck? Plymouth made a truck in the mid-40s that bears a striking resemblance to the Chevy trucks...
Ok, well that's pretty awesome. Where did you get the info on that V8? Any links. Woo hoo. 100 posts!
Yeah, I think it sold to Mr. Petersen at the auction because it was there in my short stint at the musuem after that auction.
Thanks much guys. You can always count on HAMBers to have some pretty arcane knowledge and pics. And I'll definitely have to check out those...
This 16 cylinder monster is owned (or at least was owned three years ago) by the Petersen Museum in LA. It is two 350 chevies welded together...
Basically, in terms of construction, I don't think they are radically different from today's bags. What has improved is the construction quality...
That Cord being built in Toronto looks pretty awesome. Honestly, I'm not cazy about the slant to the front end, but that's just me. On the other...
Awesome pic. Thanks. Obviously, I'm not going to build anything with Cord parts. A. I'm not stupid. B. I'm not rich. I'm just more curious...
What the hell? Did I log onto the wrong board this morning? :o
I did a cursory search of the HAMB and didn't see anything, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been talked about, just that I might be lazier than I...
The Chevy system is basically the same as the cadillacs. In other words, it was technically innovative, but performed poorly in the real world...
Yeah, I know. What can you do though? I didn't make it...
I know this is off topic guys, and I wouldn't normally post this type of thing on the board, but this is car related. And it just struck me as...
Oh yeah, I forgot. I don't know where you live, but Chuckspeed, in LA at the Petersen Museum, they have a small exhibit that is made to look...
It'd be a shame to lose another motor they ain't making anymore though... But I endorse your plan. Chuckspeed, you said earlier that a turbo is...
Buick Straight 8. Awesome, awesome boat anchor. Maybe that's not quite the 50s...
Yeah, I thought they were expensive. And damn, that's along time to have your parts. :eek: Maybe a local speedo shop can do it.
There are several speedometer service companies out there that will upgrade you stock guages with modern internals so they read right. Plus, if...
I know a lot of people here don't like it, but post it on eBay. That'll tell you roughly what you can get for it. Give or take some.
Nice car. Too bad it's not a century, then you might have sold me...:o
Most 38 Buicks I see are street rods: pastel paints, awful graphics, tweed, and SBCs. They'd make bitchin' customs though. Check out the 37-38...
