55chieftain - What size tires can you cram into a stock '55 wheelwell? Any advice on wheel size and backspacing?
Thanks everyone for the input. It gives me something to think about. One of the commercial rear end guys I contacted offered to build me a 9"...
55chieftain, what wheel bolt pattern does the Explorer have? Also, do you have pics of the radiused quarters? Oh, and what size tires could you...
Hmmm, interesting. Thanks!
Thanks, Jim.
I recently bought a '55 Pontiac Chieftain. It has a 427 Chev, a Turbo-400 trans, and the stock rear end. All I know for sure is that it is a...
What about headers? Any of those still in production? Thanks.
Great pic's Steve. Thanks for sharing them. Looks like a fun time!
When you get your T on the road, you will have to drive it to a TNGA get-together some Thursday evening. A lot of our meetings are in the...
Great tip! Thanks for sharing it.
I like it!
Impressive video! I've been around a long time, and the Y-block has had a bad rep as far back as I can remember. I can remember, back in the...
I have an '07 Dodge 1/2 ton shorty with the 4.7 V8, manual 6-speed, and 3.92 posi rear. That is one great little trans. Don't know how stout it...
28 liters and 300 hp...That works out to less than 11 hp per liter. We've come a long way, baby.
I know Chevrolet and Pontiac had FI back in the '50's but this is the first I've ever heard of Ford having it. What years, engines and models was...
Engine looks cool! I was a bit prejudiced against the old Buick straight eights. My Aunt and Uncle had a '51 hardtop. It was totally quiet,...
Woo Hoo!!! That is so cool! You are doing a great job!
I like that panel! That has real possibilities!
Sweet!
My wife would kill me if I stole a mixing bowl from the kitchen. Fortunately, there are plenty of them at the thrift store. I actually did buy...
Nice roadster! Love the color. It kinda reminds me of this one I saw at a club car show last weekend.
Love the "60 miles in the rain" picture. Reminds me of riding my old motorcycle from Newport, Oregon to Mukilteo in a non-stop rain storm. Never...
Thanks again, guys. I hate to sound so stupid, but I am on a tight budget here, and really can't afford to buy stuff that I won't need right...
No, this isn't a joke. I am doing all this for the first time, and I was hoping to get a little friendly advice. Is that a problem? I just want...
OK, now I will add yet another dumb question...On my '27 T roadster project, drum brakes on the rear, discs up front, all new components, totally...
Hey, Wetatt4u, cut me some slack here. My daily driver is a Dodge Ram with a 6-speed manual. I've never messed with a TH-350 before. Told you...
Actually, I took the lazy way out and just asked the question here. Figured there must be a thousand HAMBers who have been there, done that.
Yep, it'd a TH-350. I was just wondering how much coolant and trans fluid I should start out buying. Can't afford too much right now, and don't...
Two dumb questions: I have a 350 Chev engine and a champion aluminum radiator in my T roadster. Approximately, what should be the capacity of...
Those look like 327 valve covers to me. Also, I'm pretty sure they never put a Q-jet on a 283 (Assuming it's the original carb).
