I looked at the photos, and in the back of the second photo, is that a corvette? It looks like a new car. All 3 are pretty cool though, I wouldn't...
It may not be a hotrod but it's still a cool car.
Thats the exact truck my grandpa has, that's crazy lol
Those are all pretty cool, But what year of truck is that in the very back? It looks like the truck my grandpa has.
Me and my dad are building a 1929 Model A, working on the front end. But I was wondering what my fellow members of the H.A.M.B have. If you don't...
I'm an absolute Idiot, I forgot OHV meant overhead valve, smh.
I just asked my dad, and that's what he said.
we just started work on her, she aint even a roller, but shes mine
I'm 13 and am building a hot rod with my dad, 1929 Model A sedan, There are some of us our here, we just hide because we are the most unsocial...
3 window 34, and the motor thats in there wasn't the one my grandpa had built for it many moons ago, and there is a lot of story and history to...
New cars are cool, but the sound of a flathead can't be beat.
well theres 2 reasons. 1: It's not even a roller yet, so then we would be trying to work with a car that has a engine in it. 2: We want the...
OHV really isn't something I had considered, but road trips are a must, especially up to Cali'
soon, '34 can be done today but I don't want to because I'm lazy, but I will when the '29 is a roller.
That was my worry to, flatheads are small, dont need so much screwing around to get to fit
and i forgot to add, a flathead can be built to have power, even some smaller upgrades can give a flathead some more kick
I don't blame you, flatheads definitely do have their quality's, I'm also a little biased because I love the sound of a flathead.
It would be the quickest for sure, the original flathead built for the '34 needs rebuilt so we were gonna do the engine swap that way, the one in...
Something I haven't mentioned yet was the rear end, We're putting a '34 rear end from my dad's car, then putting a '36 rear end under his, which...
My car really won't be hauling that much except me and maybe a girl, and its just a normal 2 door sedan delivery
Money was something I've considered, all my other engine options need a rebuild except the donor 59AB in my dad's car
It's gonna be my main runner and driver, Not just something to look at in admiration
And my dad at one point had a stronger frame, but we traded it out for a frame, and parts because the frame really was not the style we were...
True, but with the flathead I don't need to change out most of the parts like the Y-Block.
I get the 4 banger argument, but it would need a total rebuild, (like the Y-Block) and isn't nearly as powerful as the Y-Block or the flathead, it...
The motor that's in the 34 at the moment isn't the original motor that was in there, so to take it out isn't much of a big deal.
The thing about more power is the fact that it's a stock frame, so I'm more worried about it destroying the frame.
A lot more parts for the flathead for sure, not a lot of miles on it either, going for a 50's-60's hot rod look.
The '34 was my grandpa's, and my dad said I ain't getting it till he dies (I'm 13 so a hot minute)
I see most people say flathead, so I will go with the flathead.
