I’m getting faster changing these shims out. I think I like .025 more. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I've been wanting to do a x frame convertible conversion or a tri five 2dr conversion for a while partially for the challenge. It would take at...
Thanks! I might go back that direction. I'm feeling like I've been going the wrong direction, but I don't have the experience to know for certain....
I’ve never set up a rear and before and I’ve been chasing my tail trying to get it right. I’m just not getting that perfect, centered, football...
I have no idea. Wiper motors, seats and window stuff will, but the rest, who knows! Two of the parts cars I know about are 59/60 Pontiacs....
Thanks for the kind words. I’m on the mend! I’ve just got to be smart and not destroy any discs again. Sorry, I don’t have any extra manual...
Nice score with the Biscayne! Looks like it’s got lots of good stuff to donate. Yeah, the posi is from that 59.
The El Camino project lurched to a halt. I absolutely wrecked my back wrestling a bathtub this spring and basically was out all summer. The only...
I can’t speak for high dollar or national trends, but locally, everything I like on marketplace is cheaper and taking longer to sell. Old car...
It’s still the weekend for a couple more hours. This poor Buick is pretty rough. It was picked up by a loader with a strap in the middle and bent...
My first name is John, my middle Lucas. If it's about money or paperwork, I'm John. If we're friendly, I'm Luke. The world is full of usernames...
Thanks!
Anyone know how much a bare 331 Hemi block weighs? Specifically, the early ones with the cast in bellhousing. Thanks!
She’s a 8 week old pound dog pit thing that may have a shepard cross father. We named her Hattie. I tried to get a HAMB appropriate pic. [ATTACH]...
Dusting off this old thread because I scored something cool this weekend! $100 ‘53 331 Hemi in a basement. I left several 350s and an Olds 455...
That’s awesome. Thank you!
Sweet! Thanks for your help! A guys steps out into the backyard for an hour, and great things happen on the H.A.M.B. For those following along,...
Thanks again, this is helpful. It looks like that drive shaft sandwiches a bearing between a shoulder and a circlip. Makes sense....
Could I get measurements from a fixed point to the front of the pulley on both setups? Maybe front of pulley to bearing plate/front cover seam?...
Somehow I missed the notification on this reply, sorry! This is all really helpful. I’ve looked at a bunch of pics of currently available snouts...

Anyone know anything about Cragar blower part numbers and dimensions? I want to make sure this snout works for my application. 240-2. [ATTACH]...
I’ll probably mill mine. I actually have better mill access than bandsaw access, which is weird. Those are super cool, but this Weiand manifold...
The more I look at it, the more I think it’s stock. I’m have a can do attitude and good tools including a mill. Unfortunately the garage the...
I’ve done some research, but school me on what I have and what I still need. I’ve known about these parts for a few years and my friend finally...
I'm pretty excited. Yeah, Ken did a really nice job cleaning them up and sent a ton of pics throughout the process. I'm super excited about the...
We’ve been updating a bathroom, so I’m not making a ton of progress, but parts are trickling in. 3.55 gears are here. I still need to get new...
Laugh if you want, but these blue bikini bottoms are directly responsible for 15 year old me deciding I needed a ‘63. [ATTACH] I didn’t get...
It’s too late! The die is cast! [ATTACH] I was all set to use the manual box, but then I traded some 350 heads for some factory PS parts and...
