Does it still have the vacuum shift? I've heard that the old vacuum shift Chevies,and especially 48s, had a real bad problem with jumping out of...
Everybody's got generic finned covers. Go with the Vettes.
Thanks for letting me be lazy... :rolleyes:
Ok then, what are the details? When and where?
Actually, it's roughly the same price in real dollars. According to the inflation calculator, $3400 in 1986 is equivalent to $6058.58 today......
Do they have a car-corral? And I'm Tito, too.
eBay's been having trouble with these. Usually, the pics are from another already ended auction. The buy it nows are always ion 4-6k range....
curious rash- I hear ya loud and clear on the time it takes to properly administer one of these boards. I've got a buddy going through the same...
Whatever it is, it's on fire! Quick put it out! AAAAHHHH!
This sounds like it could be a good compromise!
I think the 200-4Rs had a little taller overdrive too. Something like .67 compared to .7 for the 700R4.
They're like baby Buicks, which can't be bad... :rolleyes: 36 Chevies still had some wood framing but were the second year for the so-called...
I noticed that too. Awesome!
So 3k is probably a halfway decent estimate then? ;) That about what it cost to rebuild the straight 8 in my 47 Roadmaster back in high school,...
Hey HAMB admins, I was just thinking that it would be nice to have two separate classifieds section, one for cars wanted/for sale, and one for...
Just a quick question. What do you guys figure the ballpark cost of rebuilding a 55 DeSoto hemi would be? 3k?
Well now that we know what it is, explain how it works... please!
I was wondering about the exhaust port configuration on these motors a while back. The set-up looks a lot like some V8 set-ups (i.e. SBCs). Is...
Depending on where your job is going to be in the city, you might actually do better to live outside of town with better access to a freeway....
If I'm not mistaken, your 235 has a full flow oiling system, just not a built in filter. As I understand it, all 235s from 1954 are full oilers...
They look even better on old Hudsons!
That's pretty awesome looking, but wtf? How does that work? Is it using four valves per cylinder and the and the intakes and exhausts are side...
sweeeet!
Problem is mine isn't that late of a model. Just old enough for plenty of shit to break, plenty new enough to be impossible to fix on the cheap....
That's definitely worthy. When I say worthy I mean old. My daily (and only) is a late model. :( But I'm trying to find something I can rely...
Oh yeah! I've heard that these straight 8 (and the stovebolt 6s) are great with turbos because they have low compression and rev like diesels...
mmmm... garlicky... And dammit if I doesn't smell wonderful everytime I drive 152 over the hills... Maybe, just maybe, I'll have something...
That ain't the turbo straight 8 I saw back in my Texas youth, but it is pretty effing cool.
As long as it's garlic cotton candy...
I've seen turbo stovebolts done before, so I see no reason it can't be done, especially with light pressure. As an idea, I saw a Buick straight...
