Yes, still here, two years later. Haven't looked at the Hudson. Had a baby. Had to make more money. The patina on it is just getting better
Looks good. How did this work out for you? I'm looking at a 430 myself for my Hudson hack. How was your exhaust clearance? The pan looks like it...
We are also considering headers if I can find them. These manifolds look awful for flow. I've been looking at stuff to fit a Fairlane with an FE,...
The MEL was the 410 in the Citations and Corsairs, aka the E 475. The 361 aka E 400 is an FE. no?
I'm not planning to swap the heads out. or ditch the original parts.It's just that no one lists part for an e-400, but if I can order seals and...
OK, so, have a 58 Edsel under the knife. It's got the e-400 361" FE engine. We 're monkeying around with the heads (needs a valve jaerb and...
Slowly. I've been building up the parts cache. Picked up Twin H stuff and got the one big six I have to turn over. Dragged home another car....
48-50, 51-52 53 and 54 are yearly changes for trim and grilles. What's it say on the head? 500? 501?
Bloody Knuckles, what belt route did you use to delete the A/C compressor? Not sure if you have power steering or not, but In my application, I...
Now that's a sweet car. I assume it's less rotted than the last one you built? As I recall you were spiteful about having all those parts fabbed.
Everyone has better Huds than I do. All I ever turn up are Pacemakers!
From whom did you purchase your power brake setup?
I know it's an OOOLd thread, but I'm looking at this swap myself for my 85 Dodge Crew. There's a 70 Eldo with the 10.5 to 1 472 nearby for diirt...
My 51 came with a 318 poly and an unknown manual in it. The front motor mounts are less than elegant, but the tranny and everything is in, d/s...
How do you plan on lowering? I'd also like to pick your brain on the V8 Engine mounts, since the big 6 mounts are way at the front of the car.
What Kind of Wheels are those? Did you hack the Dowel pins off?
I was finishing up this car when my Opa was on his death bead. I showed him the plate and it was the last time I saw him smile. [IMG]
My Mom's Family is German. Her Parents were children during the Second World war. My Great Grand Parents had a bakery during the Great War and...
Happy birthday Chevy. Get some more rear wheel drives on the road, bring back some old models, and make the Volt as fast as a Tesla and they'll be...
A 944 to replace the wife's Taurus. [IMG] R/C Monster Truck,hasn't been finished in 15 years [IMG]
I can see this is the look Hudson was going for when they updated the Stepdowns for 54.
OuCH. Augment the original frame with a cage, cut the body up and bolt it on.Pretend it's a fiberglass shell. Opening doors and stuff a'la Pro Stock.
Another dick bishop giving us Canuckleheads a bad rap, no wonder Summit doesn't ship to Canada.
There wasn't anything more obvious for numbers on it (no GM, FoMoCo etc.) no Foundry ID
I don't think anyone has attempted this. There aren't many stepdowns around, and the factory suspension was good enough to clean house in NASCAR...
In my travels yesterday I came across this interesting piece. [IMG] [IMG] Complete with spiral action technology cast into the carb flange....
HOLY SHIT on that Z/28. Did it still have the DZ? AAANyhow.. [IMG] [IMG]
I thought of that. I punched the roof back out. It's quite pitted. The 'Blue' one has more rust issues. The bottoms of the doors are crunchy and...
There is not one single E-85 station in Alberta. I wouldn't mind if there was, however.Some of the guys in the VW scene in Britan are building...
