a '56 324, another gone but not forgotten

 

This is mine in a 39 pickup.

 

My Roadster

 

Unless April has 55 days this year I am afraid I don't get to play.

 

or March has 71 or even 94 days..

 

I'm late; I should have been here on the third.

Here’s mine. ‘56 324 now a 345 incher.

and a backup, just in case….

 

I’ll break etiquette and post my 371, it’s Olds at least

Those are some Gorgeous 324s you’ll have

 

And a very well dressed on at that! I like that it’s not spotless, it looks rough and ready.

371 on the left

 

324's little bro the 303 here's mine punched 60 over tore it down 2 year's ago and still waiting for pistons.

 

Should those pistons be staggered so the dimple clears the intake valve?

 

That's why l ordered a set of forged pistons from Ross if I have to notch them it may as well be forged.

 

Six twos on a boat, someone was a glutton for punishment.
My Dad bitched about having to dick with three carburetors at the start of every boating season when we had the factory TriPower on the 389 in our boat. He was thrilled when I got him an Edelbrock manifold and a 3310 Holley for it. Ran better too. I sure do like the look better though.

 

that red one with the four carbs is a 303
but I forgive you, it's too cool not to!
