Nice! Cosmetically, a 1-year-only 57 but especially rare in a cabover.
Nice to see Gary Coe and "Gunfighter" in this shot!
For my later generation (mid-60s) Poly, I had a low mileage original camshaft in really good shape. I selected a Schnieder pattern # and sent...
Yeo. I was familiar with these in the late 60's as there was a local guy that had a Daimler SP250 that had the hemi engine.
Ha! Good thing I said; "looks like"!
What's with the "A/ET" on the windows of both the Plymouth and the Corvette in post #65725? I do not recall that as a class designation.
Looks like a Daimler Hemi..
Early acrylic plastic also didn't do especially well with ultraviolet light and yellowing, not to mention being sensitive to cracking. Later...

Love the name of this 65' Belvedere. Even better if it was drive by Charles Bronson! [ATTACH]
and it really looks like a lot of them only use the clutch to leave the line........
Jack: Tell us about your endeavors with the 56' Packard V8. A few of us are only remotely aware of your efforts.
In the 60s, I took the engine out of my Big T and put it in my 1/8" scale XKE Coupe.
I was most impressed and amazed with the intake valve size and the camshaft lift used on this build.
Loved the video and couldn't take my eyes off of that Weiand intake. Fortunately one of my "neighbors in Oregon" has it now. The FE series are...
I agree with both of your suggestions plus moving the mufflers as far back in the system as possible / reasonable.
Beautiful Coupe (my favorite year and model as I had a 39' Deluxe Tudor with a 389 Pontiac in the late 60s) and, you have a very nice shop. Your...
I just finished adding a "priming" electric pump as well. My 9000 series Carter and (mainly) with the pump gas these days, the float chamber...
Good idea with backing off the rocker arms to allow valves to fully close. I think this is where the fogging oil shows it's value where as I...
Thanks much. I'll look that up.
I forgot about the salt issue. Man I feel for you guys that deal with that problem. In my area we at least can get out in the cooler months when...
Yes, you guys on the coast have the humidity and a salt air problem. What type of dehumidifier do you use?
I thought it would be interesting to hear what other HAMB members do to store their cars in cooler weather and what they do to maintain their...
I've found the biggest problem with "not being able to see clearly" is tied to the vacuum that is connected to the blasting cabinet to pull out...
Neat little car.....
Even with the cross-ram intake and how low the engine is setting, it's amazing how this Chrysler BB fit in the HJ. Those stepped inner fender...

I love that they kept growing and harvesting corn around the car all of those years.
There ya be then... although I would suspect there are some real combustion chamber compromises
From what I recall the 301 poly heads are not interchangeable to a 354 Poly. Putting hemi heads on the 354 Poly, while achievable will require a...
