We saw this earlier on the way home and had to turn around and take a picture of it.Sorry for the quality but was taken at quite a distance with a...
yeah I think there was a thread on here about it a couple of months back where someone was trying to buy it and supposedly it started life as a 55...
Yea I think the Mark 8 motor is still rated around 290hp. The intake looks leave a little to be desired but the later model Cobra intakes will...
Can't say as I have ever ran across a Continental with a 32 valve in it as most were either 302's or the standard 4.6's but they were all the big...
A cheaper version of the Cobra motor is to buy a mid 90's Lincoln Mark 8. These cars have the 32 valve motor in them and also have an independent...
If it turns out to be a 276 is it worth spending all the money to rebuild it or should I look for one of the larger cubic inch ones to use?
It might be a 9. It has several layers of paint and crud on it so going to clean it up this weekend and se if I can get a better look at it. thanks.
Yeah my buddy went to pick it up and then decided to holler for the hand trucks.
I picked up my Desoto hemi earlier tonight but cant seem to track the casting numbers down. Did a search on here and some other sites but the...
I've used the vinegar before but it was on a short block that was stuck. Just filled each cylinder up and after about a day went back and sprayed...
My Dad is working on a 1956 Chevy 150. No pics right now as the body is upside down getting floors put in it and the frame is sitting beside it....
My dad says I should put it in my 56 Ford but I just picked up a complete running y-block for it a few weeks back and plan on adding a tri-power...
Real good.. makes me want to find a couple more just to have them around. I missed a few a couple years ago when one of the local backyard...
Will do. If the weather holds out and I feel decent going to pick it up Sunday and will post them up. The transmissions I have are mid 60's. Have...
Does this hold true of the Desoto hemis as well that they are completely different the the Dodge or Chrysler? Just picked up a Desoto one and new...
It is for a manual trans. What is involved in doing this and would I run a stock application clutch? I had looked at the flywheel and adaptor kits...
I was over at a friends the other day picking up a couple of wheels for a project at work and he mentioned he had gotten a Hemi back that he had...
My 56 sits about as low but has 14 inch steelies on it right now. Motor is back out and the front sheet metal is off but it did look cool sitting...
This is another one I saved as it was originally bought as a parts car for another fastback that we are workring on. It's a 65 and all the work...
Here was the 39 Chevy ,66 Mustang and 51 Plymouth.
Haven't had much time to work on them and not all Hamb friendly but did manage to trade around and get a 56 Ford 2 door customline , a 1964...
Nice find! There are a lot of deals to be found on Craigslist if you stay on it real regular and sort through the bull. Both my 64 Sunbeam...
At 6 foot and 400+ there are a lot of cars I just dont fit in. I have a real cool vintage 64 Sunbeam road race car that I wouldnt even think about...
It's an original 69 Cale Yarborough Cyclone Spoiler
Not an actual stock car but picked this one today. It has been sitting a long time and should make a neat ride.
Here's a pic with the Aerostar springs and the rear shackles flipped. Still have to do a small block on the rear springs.
Down here they won't let you register them unless they have current insurance. I do however have the Sheriff come out and do a vin verification...
I guess Georgia is pretty lax then because you can have the car inspected [vin verified] and then pay a couple hundred dollars and they will do a...
That's my thought if I cant get any of the other combinations I have to work.
Thanks for the ideas. I bought a swing-away complete column set up out od a mid 60's t-bird on ebay and want to look at it when it gets here but I...
