Help me decide how to power my Deuce

I say 327

 

Well,as usual,life got in the way so the project has been simmering for a while.I'm still undecided (I know,worse than a woman). Who can tell me if the olds or caddy will fit without cutting my firewall ? Bob

 

354 or 392 Hemi with vintage 50s go fast goodies

312 Ford. Those T-bird rocker covers are beautiful.

 

Still can't decide? Put a SBC in there until you do.

 

A lot of suggestions but many of these were not on the OP list of availables.

 

In some of my weaker moments I
Have seriously considered that option but i'm afraid I would get spoiled and never change it out.bob

 

Bob, check your pm's. I have sent you two. Are they getting thru?

 

Decisions,decisions.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

Both the olds and caddy will fit with the stock firewall but the radiator will need to be moved forward and the stock hood will no longer fit. We used a nailhead in our Chevrolet but the engine compartment on those is longer due to the length of the stovebolt 6. One consideration is cost as we spent enough on parts to rebuild the Buick as it would have cost us for 2 new crate engins from Chevrolet. We do like the look though.

 

Bar-none go worth a flattie v8, my 2 cents

 

Hey Walt,I haven't gotten any PM's .Is it different now with the new format ? I have gotten a few "conversations" but no PM's .Will they still flash on the screen so I know I have one? Bob

 

Bob, guess you get no notification now like before??. I just p*** my cursor over the message icon and then click on show all. All messages will appear that you can then choose from. If there are none from me then I should let Ryan know. Had this happen with another member also who I have never heard from. Perhaps this is why.

 

"scored my "Dream Car" project" My advice is put your dream engine in as well and make it come true.

 

Bob, here is the tutorial from Ryan on private conversations aka pm's

Thanks Walt.Now I know what to look for.After checking there are no conversations from you,so I don't know what the issue is there.Let me know if you need my phone # or regular email.Bob

 

I'd vote for the flathead with a T5 behind it for reliability.
