My 1950 Mercury Project

Looks great. You don't want to source a stock rearend?

 

who cares whats under the hood as long as hes drivin it.would some of you rather see it sit in the garage for another 15 years!?keep the the hood closed to keep the complainer away and cruise it

 

no ****?.....i shouldve asked this question a few weeks ago.
i saw a 73 mustang at the u-pull-it junk yard last month....but it already made it to the crusher...
i dont think il see another one for awhile.

i was hoping there is a car/truck rearend that is more common in the junkyard that i could use.
maybe an s10, bronco, mustang camaro from the 80-90's? or im i way off?

 

keep us posted on your build... I agree do what you want!! if you decide to sell it down the road and someone doesnt like the l6 they can swap it out. I am putting a 250 in my 54 chevy... hopefully starting the rebuild this weekend. once I get more work done I will start a build thread. john

 

i think the six will be rad! if it was a chevy or even a ford and you were putting a six in it people on here would be stroking you for putting a six in it.tell em to piss up a rope!

 

Ugh! Way to many years sipping moonshine. Clouds your judgement. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

 

The hood should never be open any way. Who gives a ****?

 

"March to the beat of a different drummer"! If that was a '50 Chevy, lots of guys would be saying: "keep the six"! One of the advantages is; lots of room under the hood to work on the engine. Easy as hell to do intake/exhaust manifold work etc...

Gonna be a sweet cruiser when you are finished!

 

Why are getting rid of the coupe body if you like the chop?

 

Build it

 

i love chopped 1949-50 mercurys....but my wife and I plan on starting a family soon and i feel a 4 door would be easier.
i still want a 1949-50 mercury but it would have to be a sedan w/ a chop.

 

where you located?....I just happen to have a chopped 49 4 dr project

 

"Jville Hot Skater" who wants to put a 250 Chevy 6 in a '50 Merc is a senior member? I gotta re-evaluate my life.
