Tune it? I installed one just like that on the wife's 32 and didn't see any reason to tune it. I know what your talking about. I pulled it on the...
If the car will sit more than be driven it might be better to do the valve job and swap in a modern trans, driveshaft and rear end for cruising...
Finished the wiring today and dash is ready to be installed. Radiator is installed as well. Getting closer!

Got a lot done the past few days. Front of the car is rewired. Engine is done other than the cooling and fuel systems finished. Gave my old man...
Thanks for the info. The pipes on the headers I built are not done. I'm going to cut them all equally across. More of a work in progress.
19Eddy30 how did the finned tube do while in stop and go traffic like a cruise-in? With no air flowing over it I guess it's better than nothing.
What type of trans cooler are you guys running? There is no room to put one in front of the radiator. So I'm wondering if anyone is using the...
Ears will be protected until we get the exhaust the wife found and wants.
Installed the new Lokar shifter. What a nice piece and easy to install.[ATTACH]
So yesterday I swapped the pushrods out. What a difference .200 makes. The 8.000's set the roller tips in the center of the valves stem tips and...
The pic I'm posting is a list of cam's I chose from. The one in the middle with the dot is the one we are running.[ATTACH]

I did some math and figured out I need 8.000 pushrods to get the rockers where they belong. Also I will be able to install the poly locks with the...
Mod's could you be so kind as to move this thread back to the traditional hot rod forum? I have no idea how it ended up here.
Finally got back to working on the ol girl. Got the driver side exhaust damn near close to the pass side. I did realize stock length pushrods are...
I don't have any history other than the current version was done in 1960 or 61. It's titled as a 1928 tho. Not running a 700r4. We are running a...
Yes that is what she wanted. We will see how long they last after the first start up to break in the cam and the first drive.
Been a while since I've posted anything. With the weather changing and work that needed and needs to be done take priority over the car. I did...
[ATTACH] Well this is as far as I got last night with the exhaust. After some feeble attempts I finally figured out how to mimic the angles and...
Been busy the past 2 weeks and haven't touched the car. Tomorrow I hope to start building the exhaust. Gonna be fun!
Bad valve enroute back to Speedway. Got a replacement from Lane Automotive and pushrods and long block is now done other that paint. This week at...
So yesterday I called Speedway and have to call Monday to get the bunk valve taken care of. My son and I tried to find a nut for the trans mount...
One head is done. I will finish the other tomorrow. That is if the goofy exhaust valve can be cleaned up to fit without messing up the guide. Then...
I opened another exhaust valve and it went right in. I mic'd the one that wouldn't go in with another valve and they are all the same. Must be a...
I got them out. I used a few of the good studs that came out. Slipped the 3/8 nipple over the good studs welded to the bad one. They came right...

19eddy30 that will work with no threads on the studs?
Ok my son and I got the old block with 700 case mounted into the roadster today. I have to modify the trans cross member about an inch. I have 1/4...
