Yes this is a common misconception. I guess they can be made to work but it can be a big mistake if you don't balance!
Thanks! I see you are from Sevierville. I went through there on my way home from Shades of the Past a few times... Stopped at Floyd Garrets...
I've drive this to work more often than not... and no it isn't LS powered. Has a traditional small block and no modern crap on it. Driven it 1/2...
I was glad to see some of Dick's posts brought back up. What a wealth of knowledge he had. RIP
Wow, great replies! I will have to track down a Aug '65 just because! Thanks!
Did you use plasti-gague when you assembled the short block? If so what kind of clearance did the bearings have? I have seen old tired motors...
I'm not looking to rob anyone's magazine stash, just figure out what month my local car club appeared in. As I understand it, Car Craft used to...
Everybody always asks me when I'm going to LS swap my car. Never! I think I like LS swaps for this reason too.
Yes visit scrap yards at the shop where I work we had a guy steal 6 or so transmission cores and they turned up at the local scrap yard. They had...
Has it gotten worse over time or has the camber been off since the beginning? Maybe you haven't had your eye on the camber that close but I...
Is this a new build or have you had the car together for a while? I have seen this sort of thing happen when you weld the spring pads onto the...
I'll paint mine as soon as people stop calling it a rat rod
Here is my 55 Sedan Delivery. Just put some new wide whites on it
Torquefest was an absolute blast! This was my second year going. The Wed night before the show my transmission shelled 3rd gear. I spent...
Or WFO, my favorite!!!
I've only been able to go once, 2 years ago... but it was a great show then also. Sounds like I need to make it back up there to hit that swap meet!
For what its worth I know on Harleys the Vin is on the motor only until 1970... Which really sucks for guys who have frames and no motors!
This is so true. I like other stuff, and it took a while for me to understand the culture here as well... but if it doesn't fit in with what Ryan...
Never seen that one... but it is awesome! I bet someone here knows about it. Pretty wild artwork on the front also
The fender is, but the bumper is not. I have a 55 and its definately different. I was thinking it might have been a 54- older bumper. The...
These were with a pile of parts a buddy of mine got, but I really cant put my finger on what they are. Any ideas?
Glad to see its on the road. Did George drive it yet?
I run a similar setup and run ACr45's I think on the set in my truck it must have 5-6,000 miles on them and there still doing good.
I think you mean sedan delivery. They made just over 10,600 of them from what I've seen on other forums before. My 55 delivery had 2 factory...
This is my third time at the Syracuse nationals and the best year yet! Gene Winfield walked up to the restaurant we were eating at. Hot Rod...
This is so cool. I had no idea you guys were building this!
Yeah I think that will be the hard part. There is a Pontiac wagon at the local wrecking yard, but ofcourse the lenses are broken. Damn!
Have any of you guys seen the 55-56 Pontiac installed on a 55 Chevy? I noticed some the other day, and it made me want to put a set on my 55....
It sounds like that thing should be pretty low... I would mock it up first to see what its like before you Z the frame
Not a great pic but here is the small block in my 55
