Should be a direct bolt in. I don't believe any 425s were out with dynaflos in 63. If infact it is not a 425 but a 401-you have another story.( or...
Yeah, all that money just to save a set of tires or possibly your fenders. I know how cheap and readily available a decent pair of 40 front...
I would be looking at the transmission output bearing if you are confident it is coming out of the trans. If it is in second and high gear, at...
most of the 'gasser' style cars built these days would have been put into the altered classes back in the 50s-60s. Even the Ramchargers High &...
Not really enough info for a decent comment. Will the car make the same noise at 30 mph in second gear? Is it much more pronounced in third...
I think mine speaks for itself...
I am laughing so hard I can't see:D:D:D:D:D:D
You need to pick up a copy of Andy Southard's book "Custom Cars of the 1950s". It is full of pics of all sorts of customs from the 50s. Everything...
Butch is right about the rear, but is still a decent item to have. If it were a few hours closer, I'd be interested in the rear. How about the...
Good info, thanks for posting the info and pics. Now to start building an AWD car for the North East winters...
Amen to that!!!!
The front end was lowered as noted in earlier posts on this thread. However, raising or lowering the rear diff will have no effect on pinion angle...
Not being familiar with the Tardel book, is it because of the axle tubes being setup for steering knuckles? I would think the gears are the same,...
Not necessarily. If you cut the frame on an angle, 45* or more preferably, you can overlap the two long sections which will give you more...

Some of the old mail order catalogs listed cam specs with the cam listings. I think Honest Charlie's used to back in the 60s. Sometimes it wold...
The old alum rods don't hold up well for prolonged street use. They tend to stretch and fatigue. The new alum alloys hold up much better for...
The mailbox goes with the logstyle intake. It is reminiscent of the old FED days. Actually it was a paper box by choice...
Interesting intake set up. Looks like a 364-401-425? any pics of the rest of the project?
Likely it is 322 from your measurements. It should also have a casting number on the bottom which would help to identify it. I have an Offy...
If you have overtightened the flanges and warped them, they will continue to leak with what ever new gaskets you install. The deadsoft alum work...
My prayers to you, his family and friends. I just lost an old friend last week to the same fate. Rumor is his wife said it was over and he...
The 55 olds rear is not a weak rear, but not as strong as a 57-64 Olds rear. The rear should be a bolt in for the 55 Chevy I think. I think the...
Roller cam? that would be a nice find for sure. What displacement is it? 401s seemed to find their way into a lot of boats. Not super common to...
I never called anyone a trailer queen. I can respect that a show car (or one being entered in a show) would be kept clean-and many times enclosed...
Just pokin a little fun. AND, Yes-they are welcome to come to New England to pick up my trailer if they really need it. Seems like the could...
Not as new as you might think. Atleast I have a trailer to pick up project cars and take my cars to the track etc... retrieve them when the...
You build cars for a living and don't have a trailer?????
Shop trucks often had stock steel wheels and spinner hubcaps-Fiesta's, Lancer's, Buick, etc...
to make them function the best, mark the headers and intermediate pipes with a heat crayon. Where the crayon stops melting is where you want the...
Separate names with a comma.
