I have been welding the small metal replacement areas and I am ready to mount all of the wood in the car and attach the trunk panel. After that, I will tow it to the leaf spring shop. I ran into a small hiccup with my Fairbanks bellhousing. It fits a 426 and I need it to fit my 392. Hopefully I can find a scatter shield somewhere to work for my set up or I'll be running a 4 speed instead.
Man that car is awesome you should be able to find a small block mopar scattershield fairly easily and mount it to the trans that’s what I did with my b&m clutch flight for my 392 also that 2 port looks like it has small throttle bores maybe it’s just an optical illusion compared to the 6-71 Blower keep up the good work Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
That 2 port is small, It's what I am planning on using for my 41 rust bucket that I will be building after I am finished with the 33. I only have it on there now because I don't want to cut the hole in the hood yet. I think I may use my Crower. The Fairbanks is a TH400 with a 727 plate mounted to the front. I'm not having a lot of success finding a bellhousing that works with a clutch transmission since it was originally an automatic. I won't give up though, there is one out there somewhere.
Damn. I can't believe the pricing on those old scattershields these days. I don't think I ever paid more than 200 bucks, when buying them. Hell, I'm only 47. Sold a used, 85% painted, big block Ford, Lakewood last year for nearly what that guy wants. ^^^ Don't want to sell ... any more. Can't afford to buy one, I guess.
I saw this but it's WAY overpriced! I looked at old Egay listings and they sold for around $200, so I guess I'll hold out a little longer.
The hard to find stuff that’s easily found is always higher priced. Offer the guy 1/2. At least everything I put out for sale someone offers me half. You could propose a trade for an Xbox too.
Look at the swapmeets I seen one this last weekend for $200 but had to pass since I now have to fix the motor in my car and if you look carefully there are a lot of multi pattern Lakewood’s out there too the last one I bought is in my car and I wanted a small block mopar one for the same reason you are and it actually had both big block and small block patterns on it Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Did I forget to say that Lee kay is awesome! He just started making door hinges and trudges just like stock
re-drilled a few holes and it bolted right up. Small block and big block mopar bells are all the same bolt pattern. It was under $300
Good deal I knew you could handle it cause that’s what I would do keep up the good work that thing is just badass Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
DANG!!! A Willys Coupe is one of only a few cars I'd trade my 56 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery for; does't matter the year either, just as long as it's a Willys Coupe. Then followed by a 56 Chevrolet Model 150 Handyman Wagon in as good of shape as my Delivery, then maybe a Ford T-Bolt (does't have to be "real"), and then maybe a big block 69to70 Nova SS. BUT, a Willys Coupe is still at the top of the list. Good luck with EVERYTHING you have there. I am Butch/56sedandelivery.
Huh??? Here is a thread with exact measurements http://www.moparchat.com/forums/vintage-mopar-chat/124085-727-bolt-patterns.html and a picture
