My timeline is pre-war and I lowerd the build-up ideas from the late 40’s. On the Halibrand QC. -Was the out on the late 30’s ?
HAMB thread. Here: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/halibrand-in-pursuit-of-history-stories.312153/
Pat Warren and Casale predate Halibrand for quick change. Also take note that Model A , 101, is the weakest, the V8 ,201, is much stringer, and the champ quick change, 301, is the strongest and can handle 800 hp if set up correctly .
I wouldn't put a Halibrand in a Pre-War build. To me, that would have been too soon. A banjo rear would be my choice.
Thanks for info ! Will be a 36 LB with a Hexagon intake ( 30’s style ) Lincoln transmission, 36 banjo and bones and a 4” dropped std 32 axle and 39 brakes. Henry wire wheels 18” and 17”. Was into a Henry body but it went be a new Brockville.
