Here's the '54 331 in my old 32[ATTACH] pickup.
looking good, buddy!
Very clever work here. Great pics and detailed descriptions! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!
Great build! Thanks for sharing! Unique details everywhere you look!
Also, just noticed the cam card lists 1.5 rocker ratio, but stock was 1.6 for the 390. Just in case you want to double check your lift specs....
Great start! What's it going in? I started assembling my 390 this week as well.
Sounds great!
I'm pretty sure I tried those spacers and they weren't tall enough to clear with the Caddy. Might have been fine putting a later flatty in there...
I used the same mounts you're using. Just a spacer to raise it up. No firewall mods. Mechanical fan with a 38 radiator pushed fwd in the grille....
Thanks for the update @jbon64 ! I'll be shooting next week.
a few of us AlterBoys will be out again this year.
Hey jbon64 and Dino 64, will you post some of your experience with your new rigs? I just bought a used fuji 4 stage, and I'm getting ready to...
If it helps, here's a shot up the skirt of my 36 with a 331 and a T5. Like others have said, try to stuff it in there before cutting anything, and...
Welcome BHale! I just picked up a 67 Econoline yesterday myself. I've got lots to learn on these things.
Looks great Howard! Your car looked amazing before, but this looks super cool and different! Change is good!
Any HAMB friendly cars racing? Any pics yet? Sounds like it could be really cool.
@ls1yj can you post the ARP part numbers you used if you have any? Are you running 331 or or the 390 heads?
newbie. hahaha

Bitchin' car. Great find. Those seats are cool, too. I love the wishbone. Makes me think there might have been a chrome axle at one point, too?
Looks like a very cool project! Love to see history being preserved as it was. Look forward to seeing the progress, and hopefully a video of...
Great work so far! Congrats on lighting it up! 2nd the video!
Interesting read, and maybe the same company, but no mention of the "ENT" which I just assumed stood for Enterprises. Thanks!
Anyone know any history on these carb scoops? Did a search and it didn't turn up much. Where was the company from? Time period these are from?...
I built my 36 with it 10 years ago, and will never go back. Still kinda shiny, never crushed it with anything, never leaked, and all my bends are...
running bias for years, cokers, firestones etc. Never had any problems with out of round etc. like some folks have. Terrible Boston roads never...
I have a press so shouldn't be a problem. Thanks again.
Wow! That was fast! Thanks for posting this up!
@RaygunUK, sounds like your project deserves its own build thread! Get it started and we'll all be watching!
Great news guys! Thanks! I'll order some up!
