Hot Rods 1934 Willys Sedan to Ute build

Willys Ute Aussie firewalls were not the same at ones in the states. They were much boxier and flatter.

 

Wow, that is way cool, and with a 34 to boot. Those cars are very rare. I love their hood sides.

 

I haven’t made as much progress this spring as I would like. I had a surgery that took me out of commission for about 5 weeks, graduation parties and mowing 5 acres every 3-4 days has slowed progress.

I want to run a 2x2 intake on this. With the Nicson intake being super rare and for a 265 I decided to make my own. Anderson built one from a dual plane intake and a 471 carb adapter. I am going a little different route with mine. I took a Edelbrock C26 dual 4 intake and made some slugs to fill the holes. I am going to run Rochester 2cg’s on it. Next up is to hand it off to my machinist buddy and we will remove anything that doesn’t look like a 2cg base. I will then weld up where he machined into where the slugs are and then blend it all and use a needler on it.

 

I always liked the Hudson Hornet dual carb air filters. I found that the v8 Studebaker housings had the 2 5/16 openings. Got one bought and found it to be awfully big for the size of engine compartment so I cut out the extension piece. It took me a little bit to locate a second one but they are both modified now. I would like to get them chromed along with my stamped valve covers one I modify them for pvc.
Next on the to due is get the firewall and trans tunnel made up so I can mount my steering column.
