Still couple of sets left. Get yours, 100% leak free shocks!
This is how i made mine for 270 Dodge. Kind of hybrid between Hurst style mounted to timing cover and original mounted to water pump housing. I...
But remember add also pressure regulator. Those old carbs can only hadle pressure around 2-2.5psi
I did have fuel feed problem even with the original up draft carb. When i drove little longer, expecially when it was hot day, it starwed. First...
And for the cross member on my 28 tudor, if i recall right it is about same dimensions as original. I only fixed old cracks and reinforcements,...
There ain't any scientific adjustment for the shocks. My addvice is to adjust them with dog bones uninstalled, moving lever by arm so that there...
Basic design is same as Offenhauser shocks sold by Speedway, but there are some differences, which are improvements i hope... Offenhauser is for...
I don't know if you have already figured out what shocks you will use. But anyway, there has been friction shocks (made by me ) installed to a 34...
Finally i made couple of more sets. Let me know if you want some. For European guys 350€/set of 4 shocks + shipping. For US guys, sorry all those...
Hey all banger guys. I have a question. I have model B engine with dual stromberg 81s, milled head (about 5.3:1) home made intake/headers on my...
Sure those bangers are fun! I have a question. Somehow it seems that the engine runs better on high rpms exhaust running through the muffler than...
Not much to update for this but some anyway. It was time for Hayride Jamboree dirt drags again the 9th of August. So it was wednesday week before...
Front mount for Dodge 241/270 hemi. Kind of mix Hurst style and original mount. If you are running Chevy water pump, then you use only the bottom...
I do not know if this helps any, but this is how i made mine for two downdraft carbs. I connected original A linkage to a rod pivoted in the...
Now i finally got the motor mounts made out of steel. Fits as good as 3D print (surprise). I ordered 2 extra sets of sheet metal parts, so let me...
Nice trick, if i just would know that in 1996 when I cut 1 ½ coils off the springs. Make it low enough, but messed up the geometry. Original shock...
For motor mounts, yes Dodge has original set uplike this: front mount under waterpump (where i have that red 3D print) which more or less handel...
Thanks guys for those encouraging comments. Here some updates for this project. I was not completey happy with engine front mount fixed only 4...
I used to have a 1962 Ford F-100 as daily driver. Had original 30amp generator and european style H4 headlights (55W low beam / 60W high beam),...
Not much happened here, but some updates anyway. Made trans tail mount from a scrap sheet metal part found at trash at my work place. This is...
Thanks guys for all that info. I thought it would be hard to find a left hand drive shaft for the rear end, when i do not even know which year it...
Thanks a lot! That was what i wanted to hear. So i will get a symmetric rear end housing with offset pinion and stop worring this thing!
Exactly my driveshaft lenght will be around 850mm, which gives angle of 3.03. That is just on limit 3 degree which i found on Dana Spicer web...
Thanks for the comments everyone! So conclusion is that buggy spring and triangulated 4-link should not be a problem, just as i thought. But for...
Thanks for the comments. And yes if i'll make this set up, the lower arms will be much shorter. In the picture there is a split front wishbone in...
I’m thinking how to make rear suspension for my Model A and have couple of questions. I like to use Cadillac rear end, cause I just happen to have...
The pedals fitted, time to make the X-member. My friend made some C-profile with oval holes more than 20 years ago for this project. So it was...
Some progress done. Now when the position of engine and transmission have been set, it is time to check if everything can be fitted around it. I...
There has not been any progress with my T-A-B but some with my tudor. You asked for it so here it is, link to that thread...
I start this thread of my 28 model A tudor project, if somebody find it interesting. All start loooong ago, in year 2001. I do not know why, but...
