Really nice car! Can't wait to see it done. I love the attention to detail.
Yea. Put a Carter YF carb on it. I had a similar experience with a Rochester and finally just gave up on it. The Carter has never let me down
I used a 57 chevy rear. I've read that a 4x4 S 10 will work too. I would measure the rear you are looking at to see if it will fit. I would also...
Exactly!!! My post says solid aluminum blocks as well!
I built custom blocks to to properly locate and support the rear in mine. It looks like you need to do the same. I went to my local metal store...
You should be fine. My 54 is dropped 4-5" both front and rear and the tires don't hit the inner fenders. The axle will hit the frame in the back...
I have a 235 with a T5 in my 54 chevy. The rear is a 57 Chevy with 3.70's. it does 65-70 just fine. 3.55's would be fine to. The 3 OTT was fun but...
I have 2"-3" drop springs from Coil Spring Specialties and dropped uprights from Fatman with stock, off the shelf part store shocks. I think they...
Great idea guys. My son and I had a good time.
Mine did the same thing. Switch to 12 volt and call it done.
I have a 3211s on my 1954 235. I replaced a leaking and flooding rochester and never looked back. The car starts and runs great.
Search the T5 threads. Tons of great info on here. I just did this last winter/spring. The threads and info on here made my life really easy....
please tell me you are working on the front one now??
My 54 is getting a T 5 and a 57 rearend. This is perfect timing
It looks like a decent 10k-12k car to me depending on what it looks like in person... The bulk of the value is in the paint, interior and the...

Thanks for the write up. I've been debating this but I think I'm going 12 volt. I'm tired of the other joys that go with 6 volt...

I can't answer your question but I love the car in the pic. I have a side view that is the screen saver on my computer
I went through this on my 54 Chevy. I plumbed a return back to the tank and problem solved. I also put a electric pump in but haven't had to use...
I have them on my 54 Chevy and so far no problems at all. I used the steering arms as well.
Although our paths crossed a couple times in the past I didn't really become good friends with Chris until the last year-which is unfortunate...
That is a really nice looking car. I would leave it alone and find another project to keep you busy over the winter.
I think your work and kit are great but your camera skills.... I'm just messing with you but can you post some good pics of the install? I was...
Is it flooding? Hows the wiring look for the ignition circuit? I had a similar problem. I eventually bypassed the whole ignition circuit by...
North Royalton
I have been through this process with a custom motorcycle. It's a "process"... Call the Columbus BMV. They will give you specific instructions to...
Damn!
Nice car. It musta been the weekend for it because I spent it lowering my 54 Chevy. Where are you in Cleveland?
Hey bro Parma radiator on State road in Parma fixed the one in my 51. That was 6 years ago so I don't remember how much but it was way cheaper...
