No boss for an oil pump. A dry sump motor means that this thing is something exotic. Any markings on the side of the block or maybe a gm part #...
Bought a pair of these a year ago. A 210 4 door wagon that has original paint and less rust than you are talking about and a Belair 4dr sedan...
The great thing about that car is that it appears to have had good storage over the years instead of sitting out doors and slowing rotting to the...
My max performance big block chevy book says: for street use a good starting point is large oval port 781, 049, 359 or 241 castings. I would get...
The storage title deal works. I have done several. The catch is if you cannot trace it to a previous owner with no paperwork from the state you...
I really get a kick out of all the guys that would offer to buy this car for $1000 to $3000. I would kindly ask them to leave my property....
A pair of old school slapper bars got my brothers 55 into the high 11's years ago. Just fine tune the distance between the snubber and the spring...
Don't even think about one of those chinese winches. Sold a car to a guy and he showed up with a 10k chinese winch on his trailer. The thing was...
Great to hear it is finally with someone who cares. The idiot that owned it just needed to find any old 55 two door and modify it to his liking...
Old thread but here are a couple of mine. Old straight axle car saved from a guy who was going to change the frame and un-radius the wheel wells...
Very cool car. The only thing that looks suspicious is the HEI distributor. Maybe they tried to get it running because they couldnt set the points.
I used to fight making holes in carpet for shift boots, seatbelt bolts, seat mounting studs or bolts but a friend told me to use a soldering iron...
I have a convertor out of a 62 Nova that was air cooled. Pm me and maybe we can figure something out. It would need flushed for sure but most...
Great looking truck. Love that body style and the big back window is a bonus.
Keep shopping for another block. I sold a complete 68 325hp 396 a year ago for $400. Even had the air cleaner.
Very cool, My favorite Fairlane by far. Wish I could find one that cherry around here. Make it look just like the white one.
Cool Wagon!!! We bought and restored a 56 handyman in the late 80's. Ours has a 300hp 327 and muncie 4 speed. I would look into one of the full...
Watched chop cut rebuild last weekend and they did a 56 convertible with a body from real deal steel. They didnt quote any prices but I think the...
I like the looks of that car. Bring it to the KKOA show in Salina next summer!!!
Look carefully at the counter gear in the lower part of the case roll it over and look at all of the teeth. Around $200 for this gear. Look at...
Bought a new in the box ac delco pump that said high performance big block chevy on the hand written tag for $15. Got curious a couple of years...
I will be interested in what your steering setup will be. I used my stock box on my big block 56 but had to lower the steering box to clear the...
I want a 63-67 Vette roadster to build into a gasser. Come to think of it a 57-62 would be fine also. Over the top pricing for complete junkers...
Really cool find. The trans looks to be a Borg warner t10, probably worth twice what you paid for the car!! I can't believe the drivetrain...
I would like to see some pics of racing at the Grand Island strip. I have talked to people that raced there but no one seems to have any pics. A...
Look for a pair of corvair buckets. Look very similar to 60s impala buckets at give away prices. Had a pair given to me at a swap meet because...
203 New process transfer case for 4wd chevy fulltime pickup 73-78 pretty much worth nothing.
Here is mine: Build pics on my profile.
Another vote to pull the six. I would do a 327 and a muncie. Let someone who loves those old sixes put it in an old pickup or something. In my...
Get it running/updated and start racing it. The thing deserves to see the light of day. Fewer and fewer 55-57 drag cars showing up where we race.
