It all depends on what your rearend gears are and if you intend to change them or not. Id say an overdrive automatic is not really efficient combo...
Super cool stuff Bob...keep the updates coming!
The bigger wheels may be US Indy or ? with the screw on center cap. The skinnier mag is not a US Indy for sure for the same reason
HF4 is listed...the catalog is from 1964 or 1965. Note that the larger Buick had a different part number. Dont know if it'll fit other engines.....
Dan...the beauty of those Hurst engine brackets is that the engine width measurement remains the same regardless of engine. So hemi, small block...
Dan...my '38 has a custom built mount for an early Olds engine. Dont think if it was intended to be permanent. It's awfully spindly. I wonder if...
The block is a 1967 327...could have a 283 crank ending up at about 302 inches. Intake is big truck with a governor as you stated. I've never...
Never heard of a "Corvette short" water pump. It's just a short water pump.
Those linkage arms are very brittle. I was gingerly trying to pull one off a carb and it broke in two. I'd look on Ebay..
I think the car looks great..and well done. Love the colors! The only thing that stands out to me is the obligatory late model, primer grey...
That's sounds right..I knew I saw it on TV recently..
It went off a cliff when they installed an electric motor in it. I think Freiburger has since reversed that, thankfully.
What a bummer. What was Holleys point in buying Hilborn in the first place? They bought Hilborn at the tail end of 2019. So just as the move was...
They're Motometer wings. Check out Google..there's scads of them under that search. The wings are for the radiator cap...its a fairly common...
Since you changed out the starter and battery..id rule those out for now. You cleaned tbe ground and added a ground engine to body..thats good....
Car cover guys...used to also yell $20 bucks! $20 bucks! Before inflation. I think they're $35 now. There are two brothers that sell the car...
I'm thinking mid to late 60s Fiat. They look Italian to me..
It's a 1970 plate...3 numbers and the first letter is an A...
In the video above...blue shirt with pony tail is Beau Boeckmann, larger guy is Dave Shuten...guy in white hoodie is whoever made the video..
I don't know anything about this other than what i've read here. It seems like the buyers really wanted to unveil the finding/purchase of the...
Hey @bchctybob good to see you at Turlock! If I can offer some suggestions to the operators of the Turlock swapmeet. I've been going for...
Damper dudes used to rebuild all types of harmonic balancers...theyre in California. I looked at their website and while they list Olds...
@BamaMav has it right...and I think that was the underlying point of my initial post. Hot rodding was born here in SoCal, there are still so many...
This doesn't help...spectators/buyers have to pay $15 in cash to get in...and $18 for parking, but for that you have to use a card. [ATTACH]
I also miss the Big 3...that one ending was a damn shame. I think the once a year swaps still are great..Turlock..LARS...those swaps tend to have...
It might just be the aging of vendors. Sure there are still vendors..but most of the time I bought something cool...it was from someone older than...
The Pomona swap meet has always been great. Sure the last 10 years or so..the rarity and quality of stuff has been going downhill. I guess that's...
That 397766 WO is a turbo 400 output style M22 used in Chevelles or El Caminos. Probably either a SS 454 or L78..
Wow...that louver pattern on the hood is SO cool!!
