What an awesome collection!
After you mentioned the slave cylinder, I did some digging and think I found a compact master/slave solution. A 7/8 bore Wilwood 260-3376 master...
I run a cable on my '31 A. It works fine if you occasionally adjust out the cable stretch. I looked closer at this build last night. A push-type...
That would be much easier for this tight fit. That or a cable.
Due to all the engine setback and the high crankshaft centerline, I have a tight packaging problem for the clutch linkage. Since I’m running a...
Yeah I'm thinking 625 hp or so.
Probably after disappointment at the drag strip:D
The engine and trans are assembled and installed. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Now that's cool!
Gettin' there on engine assembly. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Nice score!
I picked up some vintage Stewart Warner small logo oil and temp gages. I'm hunting sending units. 0-80 psi oil pressure gage case is marked...
I'm doing all the engine prep work while I wait on the crankshaft. These heads have fairly big springs and valves at a steeper angle than stock....
Woohoo! The block is back from the machine shop and I have a shelf full of parts. [ATTACH] My standard crank cleaned up nicely but I'll need a...
Yep, just don't call him if you don't have time to chat a while:)
I'm converting the small input, small output toploader to a big in, big out for use behind the big block. Dan Williams Toploaders makes and...
The ol' oven cleaner trick didn't work that well for removing the faded anodizing on the grille and headlight rings. After a lot of sanding and...
Nice trans work! That's one of my favorite tasks - it's all on the workbench.
Dad came by to mock up the lettering. It was good to have him hang out in the shop. We'll paint when the weather warms a bit. [ATTACH] We'll...
I had a coworker die in front of my house in this very way. 70-something F100 with lap belts (he always wore) was hit head on by an 80s something...
That's going to be awesome to watch. Will it be ready by Ringgold? I saw another build picture posted on social media. There was a '62 Falcon in...
Junkyard 460 pulled from a low-mileage RV. Freshen it up, slap a Summit turbo on it and enjoy 600-lb-ft of cheap towing pleasure.
Now this is a build in the spirit of hot rodding. Keep costs in check, use what ya got and have fun as soon as possible! Well done!
Here's a Lincoln 460 in my '61. It takes a wee bit of cutting to fit behind the straight axle! 8" recessed firewall. You could move the engine...
Yep. I sanded with 800, 1000 and 1500 grit before buffing with Blue Magic polish and a microfiber towel. The shine ain't there yet. I think I'll...
That would be sweet!
It's wet media blasting, aka wet blasting. It's effective for removing oxidation, paint and grime.
I dropped off the block at the machine shop. They do top-notch work decking, boring and line honing with CNC equipment. They have state-of-the-art...
Oh yes. No replacement for displacement!
I hope so! I've been selling a lot of old parts lying around to generate some funds.
