Here is one I built in the late 60's.
Mine from back in the day (late 60's). AD truck axle, 292 Chevy, Muncie, 55-57 rear, 3.70's.
Shot Bambi.
Sure, you can do all kinds of good stuff to the 240/300 series. There are some guys in the midwest that are taking 12 pounds off of 240 cranks...
Don't use just dish soap as a lubricant if you ever even think you may pull that wire out. It will set up like cement. Use a cable lubricant...
If you want an older one, I have this one in Tacoma for $900.
No pics of the pedals, but here is the underhood view of my old Minor. I used the old Ford cylinders.
Studebaker
Here's an add for one out of a '50 Popular Mechanics. It's probably the top of the line. $39.99!
Joe C, Look underneath the dash for the cable. It attatches to the back of the speeedometer. Take it loose. It should have a cable inside....
It won't work with dual points. It will work with the ducoil setup that is like 2 4 bangers. Trust me I know.
Some of the early ones had a resistor on the PC board that had to be cut for 6 or 4 cyl apps. Hopefully the Nerd didn't cut it off the board as...
I've got a TRW book and the only pistons I can find in 4.125 bore are Ford applications. If you have pin size and compression height I can look...
I put all 4 plex outlets in my shop and pulled 2 circuits to each box. That way if I have two tools plugged into the same outlet they will be on...
I'll second Tinbender. Get a torch. If you learn how to weld with OA, everything else is pretty easy. I don't have a Henrob personally, but do...
And he never takes a day off.
OK. My #3 son finds a 41 Chevy PU in BFE, no in Iowa, and the price is right ($100). Asks me do I want it. I say sure. Anyway, the plan was...
If your dash is out, why not just use a circle cutter in a drill press. Works good as long as your speed is slow.
I probably have some origonal plans out of Popular Mechanics or one of those mags. I know I've seen them, just have to look and see.
Find a 261 or better yet a 302 GMC.
Look for MII with the V8 or V6 also Pinto or Bobcats with the V6. They had 3.40's. They are also 1" narrower than the Maverick rears,
Mr Happy, You got it! It's kinda weird. I don't know what I would use it for, and don't really have the space to store it, so I thought if...
I like to lace my wiring with a waxed nylon lacing twine. That way, if a wire burns, it will melt the loom and not melt into the rest of the...
Check out fordsix.com, lots of good stuff there.
Anthony, Just keep your eyes open for some 3 phase motors. They almost give them away up here. You need a 10 horse or combination of motors to...
It is probably newer than 32. It has an independent front end with a buggy spring. The rear in the standard semieliptic spring setup. I kinda...
I have a chance to pick up a 30's Stude rolling chassis for the good price $0. It has the transverse spring IFS. Are there any good parts on it?...
Ravin, If you can find a carb off of the old hipo 289's that came in the early Mustangs, they are 450 CFM and work great.
I'm doing a 300 in a 41 Chevy PU.
I posted my old truck on craigslist, and recieved this. Do any of you Limey's know this guy? Should I run? Date:Mon, 13 Sep 2004 06:22:47...
