I have welded the washer and nut on bolts broken 1/4 inch down into the block, and once with the remains of an easy-out stuck in there. I must...
I'm using a 3:08 with a Saginaw in a light roadster and it works well. The first gear was usless with the 4:11 rear gear or whatever I had before,...
Isn't oil like a million years old when it comes out of the ground? I don't think an extra 20 years would hurt it. That's what I said the last...
They did a good job for me. I needed "bun" panels for a '26 roadster, and I didn't like the standard ones, so they made some that were bulged out...
Tex Smith has a book that shows putting a 318 in a 48 Plym coupe. I just put a 350 Olds in mine, but it is really tight. I had to redrill the...
The manifold tooling is expensive from a foundry. So far the cheapest I've come across for a 3X2 that I designed for a 350 Olds has been around...
I have a similiar setup and I get radiator shake when the tire pressure gets low. The car is so light that I don't notice the low pressure from...
Wow, I thought I was the only one with a 48 Plymouth with an Olds 350 motor. I had the original radiator recored with a high efficiency core, but...
I gas weld patches with an 000 tip and 1/16 rods, and I think it works OK. I can hammer the welds quite a lot without cracking them.
I'm assuming you are talking about the studs that hold the pipe on. Try welding a nut on what is still left of the stud. Let it cool. Then use an...
That's awesome. Good job.
I'll give that a try. The truck engine is '85 or so and the starter bulge on the '56 bellhousing looks a little different, but it seems like the...
That is good info, Thanks. The aluminum bellhousing on the Chevy truck engine has an 11 inch clutch, which wont fit in the aluminum bellhousing...
Maybe I'm crazy, but I have a Muncie 3 speed overdrive ('59 or so) that I would like to bolt to a Chevy truck engine that had a Saginaw three...
I bought repair panels for my '26 roadster a couple of years ago, and they were in fact just as good as the original stuff. They even made me some...
I think you are going to like your light car with a 305. Mine has a 305, saginaw 4 spd, and 3.08 gears. The car weighs in at 2200 lbs. It started...
Hey Dillweed, are you still bragging about the price?
Bellville - '26 Ford roadster. '48 Plymouth in the works. [ATTACH]
That's nice work Glenn. I was considering doing a similiar project with the same type of body mods. Beetle
Dustin. Lay out your proposed idea to scale on some graph paper. Then scribe the arcs of the links and see what it does. Remember the points...
Here's mine. Lots of fun and kids love it.
Yes, Columbus is 30 miles or so west of here.
I'm from Bellville. Did your club go to the Roundup?
Thanks, I'm in Bellville west of Houston. I probably should put that in my profile. I get up to Arlington now and then - what type of event is...
Hello, I have been lurking for a while now, so it's time I introduced myself. I am into traditionally styled hot rods. I finally built my first...
