They are certainly easier to build versus inside the frame.
You may need to build a set of headers to fit your application. Give it a try. Some flanges, J bends and collectors. It's a fun skill to learn.
There's a shoulder inside the bore between the 2 bearings on the 101 quick change. You need to remove the nuts to press the pinon out.
Henry J racers are a lot of fun[ATTACH]
Pickup open drives are not the same as passenger open drive conversions. This guy looks like he needed a passenger rear end open drive conversion.
Over the years of working with banjo rear axle assemblies I have seen the drive shaft flush with torque tube bell end, 1/8 " deep and 1/8" proud....
Load the pinion in the housing with the first nut on, let it cool and adjust the first and second nut until you're at 15" lbs. The second nut...
That's not white smoke. That's a salt spray that occurs when there's a crash. Very unfortunate and very sad for Chris's family and friends. RIP...

Not real easy to relocate the radius rod mount on a Model A torque tube like it is on a V8 torque tube. [ATTACH]
Halibrand quick changes for the model a have a torque tube bolt pattern smaller than the V8 and larger than the model a. Modify the A torque tube...
No it won't. Elongate the holes in the model a torque tube.
I have 327's in a couple of cars including the avatar. I've shown them here in the past. I have more in inventory including this stock bore 1962...
I used an F1 axle and springs on my Henry J. It's not a direct fit but with some fabricated mounts it worked well.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks. Scroll back to page 119 around March this year. I posted converting back to stock latch. The bottom corners of the drain trough had holes...
Yeah, it would be nice to see the dyno sheets to see what exactly is going on. Without that info it's just a guess.
They should have run the dyno pull up to 6500 rpm. You more than likely would have got your 350hp.
Sounds like a good plan to me. Good luck with it.
Nice sedan! If you have a place to keep it stored, protected and not out in the weather, it doesn't eat anything, keep it. You'll probably regret...
I've been messing with SBC's since the mid-late 70's, especially 327's. They are great engines. Here's the last two I built . Happy birthday...

I don't see cowl steering so it doesn't look like it is
My first hot rod/modified vehicle. Started as a primered stock pick up. This was probably 1977.[ATTACH]
I agree with that on the front side mounted box. I did that in the '70's on an AD. I eventually went another direction. I'm starting another AD...
My vote for best flowing air filters is K&N. When I built a 327 for my coupe a few years ago I did the calculations for surface area needed for...
I love 327's. My first hot rod engine in the 70's was a '68 327 in a '52 Chevy pickup. My '35 Chevy coupe has had a few over the past 40 years. A...
And... this why Pete doesn't frequent this site anymore. Please explain executed correctly.
