Hot Rods Big Daddy's 55 2 door wagon gasser

Olds/Pont drum

 

Then it's not the 9.3, if it's actually a posi-trac center section and not a lincoln locker, I'll sell it and put something else under it. I'm not gonna trash a posi unit when somebody might actually have a use for it lol.

 

I’m going to Lloydfest and I work in downtown St. Louis if that helps.

 

Cycletech and Steve already asked about it. If it's the actual P case posi unit, I know they're worth a good amount. But I'm not gonna worry about it until I see it with my own eyes lol... my luck it's welded up

 

Looks like a stocker to me.

 

Lloyd, this has very little to do with your build, but I thought you might get a kick out of it. I drew this when I was 14 or 15...

 

I didn't forget @Johnny Gee either.

 

Too cool, thanks. I use to draw a lot as well. Carina alway’s ask’s that I start up where I left off in jr. high drafting cl*** doing automotive illustrations.

I did this one but had it stolen before completing it.

 

.030 over 454, .250 domes, comp 280 magnum hydraulic, 781 heads that have been worked, performer rpm and an 850 carb, fenderwell headers, etc... bolted to the 4 speed, and a guy that can barely hold a clutch pedal down. Think the rear end will hold up??

 

Hell Yeah it'll hold up! A few times...

 

Really nice work Johnny.
If you check out the "Friday Art Show" every week, you'll see I got a little better.

 

What kind of valve covers are you gonna top it off with? Got a pair of M/T look alike here. Holley, I intended to mill that off and put breathers in place of the script. But I don't really need them.

 

Weak excuse.

 

Yep it's begun. A few tweaks here and a little more there and you'll be building a right proper drag and drive motor. Seriously, it sounds like a nice build. I'm getting there with my back, so I went with the full manual valve body 700r4. Overdrive should make cruising much nicer.

 

Those are ***y I have those chrome covers you sent me

 

@Johnny Gee and @hotrodjack33 you guys need to post those drawings on the Friday Art Show thread. @Lloyd's paint & gl*** your build sounds kick ***, thanks for letting me tag along.

P***

 

Everyone should have a pair of old M/T valve covers. Of course they won’t clear stud girdles or high lift rocker arms.

 

I put an 8.8 rear ('94 Mustang 5.0) in my old Sedan Deliv. Although not a big block, beat the living **** out it for over 12 years...had to fix about everything on the car at least once EXCEPT the rear end...never touched it (did break a few universals though). I'd say they're plenty tough.

 

Lloyd , I do like your plan, however, I am thinking lower compression, 671 blower, proper cam and clutch. Now that will pucker your *** checks.

 

Lol I'll have the whole car built for less than that blower cost! Just a street car, that'll make good torque

 

Nothing like a blower sticking out the hood since we’re spending Big Daddy’s money might as well put a built olds rear in it also

 

Yea, it's fun spending other people's money. Also a 8.50 cert cadge.

 

Big Daddy should send us his credit card, we will spend his money wisely anything for a brother, right.

Is the paint dry yet?

 

Lmao! I've put 3 back on the road since I joined here in 2019, while working a full time job plus building and painting customer cars! All the while there are guys here that still haven't finished the 1 car they were working on when I joined

 

Ya and I'm for sure one of them. Just stirring the pot a little.

 

I know brother

 

Just a side note, my buddy bought a bunch of old campers from an estate sale. I'm trying my best to get one of them!
