If the straight axle rides fine I’d go that route. I have an old How To Build Hot Rods book from the ‘50s I forgot I had but I figure there is...
Not stock but I’m afraid not exactly H.A.M.B. friendly. Basic SBC/TH350 or 700R4, 9” rear, Mustang II front maybe? Not sure what to use. I...
Apologies in advance if this isn’t a traditional topic but I’m looking for books to perhaps help me dive into what’s involved in building a Model...

From reading further in the Hurst catalog, it looks as though Hurst suggests their A-28 mounts for just about every engine to go into this...
I found the write-up, actually in a Hurst catalog posted on here I had saved. It is under the page "Engine Swapping Tips" in the "Motor Mounting...
November 1959 Car Craft has a 4 page article on this, it is very cool.
I used to have an old '50s magazine touching on this subject but cannot find it now. Are there any good bolt-in solutions for a '50s engine to...
I'm gauging interest for my 1933 Ford pickup. I'm not in a rush to sell it nor do I really need to but if someone out there wants it or would...
I'll look into that thread on the Ford Barn, thanks for the replies. I have a few more '50s Car Craft magazines on the way. It seems just about...
I forgot about the x-rails being so narrow. My frame will be getting the outer rails replaced but the guy doing the job wants to retain as much of...
I'll look into the T-18 and T-85 transmissions. Novak adapters has a ton of good information on those. I'm not sure if I could use a side-shift...
I am asking more toward the period-correct but other options can apply as well. I just don't think T-5s and T-56s would apply in this forum. I've...
I also know about Zephyr gears but have heard they don't actually add any strength. I thought of doing something more extreme like a T-56 or...

I found a set of NOS Hurst mounts, however I read that there are problems with converting a side-mounted engine to front mount because of engine...
I'll look into putting Lincoln gears into this trans. I already rebuilt it but I can swap it out. The 8BA isn't an option anymore as I rebuilt it...
I wouldn't mind keeping the trans and torque tube setup in there, I won't be driving it hard, I just don't want to experience breaking the trans...
I'm planning on using something like a Pontiac or small block. I was going to bolt the engine to the '39 trans I have but I'm afraid it won't hold...
I'm thinking of throwing in a more modern drivetrain in my '33. However, I'll plan on keeping the stock rear end. I'm noticing a lot of drivetrain...
