I bought a couple 16x4 spare wheels that came off a dodge caravan. The bolt pattern is 4.5" but backspacing was the whole 4"s. I had a racing...
So what year car did the wheels come off?
Okay I will try that, thank you much!!
Im sure that someone on the HAMB can help me out. How do you remove the choke shaft from the top body of a Stromberg 97? I'm sure I can figure it...
What brand are the rears those match real nice with the ribbed dirt trackers and are those both 4" wheels?
Well this 409 is going in a 32 Ford Pickup so this carb setup is period correct.
It's 3 bolt base and obviously the front lines up but the back two do not. I can't figure out how the hell to get pics on the HAMB and how would I...
I have a brand new Offenhauser 6x2 intake for a 409. I have 6 Strombergs and the bases do not match up with the holes on the intake. Can someone...
With some cars making 425 hp from the factory I don't see a problem hitting that goal with some head work, a good set of pistons and a good cam.
Okay you may have talked me into it!! So if I use my stock 409 crank can't I just get the longer BB rods? Or do I have to change the crank and the...
Thanks, I will look into that website more. Yeah I think I will be fine with a 4 speed but would be nice to have that extra gear. A TKO 500 might...
Well I have learned a few things from this post. Got the complete 409 for $1,000, I think I did pretty well!! I did have him pull off the head and...
Well I got some great info so far and we know its for sure a 409. However the new info I just received is that there is an X on the drivers side...
So would it be a good idea to get the casting code off the intake?
Thanks for that picture. I was looking all over for that. So if I would go with a good set of pistons what is your suggestion on a block like this...
So if I was to go with a 6x2 setup it would need to be an intake from a 348??
That's not to big of a deal? What kind of hp would you get with that piston. I understand it all depends on other stuff but my plan is to have a...
So might need to have him pull the head quick. It says it's not a truck block according to casting number on block. The casting on heads say its...
I would be installing new pistons anyway so shouldn't be a problem.
I was told I don't want a block with the relief cut in it. From the info that you gathered will it have it or will it not??
I just found some more info. Says its a 64-65 block not truck but the heads are truck heads.
Does that mean they will have that goofy port in the block. Or is that in the head? From what I have found it says it's a HD truck motor.
Does that mean the heads or the block have that goofy port in them. This is a HD truck motor from what I have read.
I have a friend with a block and heads. Block #3857656 head #3819333. Can anyone tell me what this is and what year. I can't find the casting #...
Do you know what your friend paid for them and do you know what kind of shape they were in?
Not sure what he wants but he won't over price it cause he knows it's not a popular model. He doesn't know what it's worth and I don't really...
I will try and get a pic up of it. Thanks guys for the info, I was thinking it was worth about 5,000 it's been sitting in a controlled garage...
That's exactly what it is and complete like that one minus a few interior panels. Except that one is at top dollar because it's mint, my buddies...
It's a sedan and trust me it just needs a little touch up, really wouldn't even need new paint. The last trip it went on was an 8 hour round trip.
Have a buddy with a complete rust free 1929 Model A 2 door. The car can be driven home. It's not mint but wouldn't take much to get it there....
