Evening Folks, I posted this over at Stovebolt too, but figured I’d ask you guys too. My ‘53 3100 is the third ‘bolt I’ve owned, but the very...
I’m going with a T5 swap in the next week or two and will have my rear axle/torque tube and 3spd transmission available to anyone that wants to...
Got a full set of wheels I bought for another project and don’t need. They’re new, just some light silver rattle can paint in them. Big ford...

Thanks for the replies, fellas. The Speedway kit is is # 91064017 and is the 12 circuit Micro kit. That’s the instructions you posted. Good...
Afternoon gang, Let me riddle you with a few charging questions to see if I’m doing this right. It’s on a custom car and here’s the parts I’m...
"The way you described in your first post should work fine...I don't see any reason to make it more complicated." .....Exactly what I wanted to...
Good idea! So my basic wiring is correct, but you’d add a IGN triggered relay for the power rather than the straight BAT lead. Understood....
Hey gang, Just want to get some clarification I'm going to wire a starter button correctly. I have seen the various threads on this, but just...
So, exactly like adam401 said. My father-in law bought the car and honestly, we don’t know if he even drove it before buying it. He’s not the...
Ok, got it all. Thank you guys! I’ll get it here then post up what I find. Yeah, starting over for him isn’t an option, so I’ll make it right...
Excellent. Thanks for that! He’s delaying getting it up here due to me trying to finish up a 62 Corvette for a lady, and I don’t want it sitting...
It’s apart in someone’s shop he took it to in hopes of having it fixed, but he couldn’t figure it out. It’s back together at my Father-In-Law’s...

Excellent work! Exactly what I’d like to do! I’ll be following along too..... cheers
That’s a great thread, thanks for posting it. It looks like it’s debatable whether it’s fixable or not depending on how bad. I’ll drop the block...
Tore it down, and two of the water jackets to head bolt holes have those cracks. Valve seats to cylinders don't have any, but I do have the pan...
Thanks, John! Chat soon. Dave
Found a few pics of the engine, so the intake has both 8BA and 8RT and has the green paint on it. So looks like it’s the original 52 Truck...
