Well the 32s been in the garage for about 5 years now and still haven,t done a damn thing to it. So I Draged it over to my moms house to store it for now. We live in the same track so it was no big beal. If you ever want to flat tow a 32 I bought a volkswagon super beetle tow bar made simple bracket held on by the spreader bar bolts, and I have to tell you it works like the shit. Towed perfect and cost less then $50.00
thank god thats just the title ..couldnt see that car with a toyota motor in it...great looking start
Theres a Steel 32 I see at long beach swap now and them with a Lexas motor and I think a six speed. Kind of weird but cool..
I thought I was gonna barf when I opened this thread. Ya suckered us! Good one. Tow bars are cool, trying to get the one my buddy has so I can weld up some tow tabs on the '57. Just in case I break something an have to drag it home someday.
those pics are contradictory......a toyota with a dualport v-dub engine in the bed, hitched to a deuce pulling it through a cookie cutter neighborhood. hmmmmmm
I was going to really Boo this thread. Nice start good luck with your build as long as Toyota is not used again.....
Well you got my attention anyway. I was expecting one of those Toyota Hemi V8's or a Lexus. Quite a few of both are used over here. What are you planning on using for motovation when you get around to it? swifty
I have a 66 V.W. convertabile that i have't touched in 5 years either,I think we should just tow mine to your house....then you can park it next to yours,and I will take the 32 off your hands and park it next to my A roadster.this just sounds like a win win to me..whatcha think?
Don't bury your head in the sand just yet. Toyota 4Age is a direct knock off of the Ford racing engine. As with the Quad Four, an interesting alternative to the belly button SBC. Can produce over 450 HP. I stumbled across this after building a Willys and got interested in alternate power supplies.
from the pic it looks like you are taking the wrong car to your mom's house. i would rather work on a hotrod than a VW
Shoot, you live in california too! Come on, let me take this good for nothing car off your hands for you!
I HATE to say this, but the Toyota V8's used in NASCAR Cup, Nationwide & Trucks are BAD ASS engine's. They use a bell bolt patern that is a copy of the Small Block Chevy. It is only a matter of time before one of these monsters ends up in a deuce.
Yep... U got me too! There is however, a Toyota-powered rod rolling around my town. Was kinda hopin' I was finally gonna get the story on it here.
When you get more motivation build that '32 and use any engine you want be it a Toyota or SBC etc. It really doesn't matter what engine is under the hood as long as the styling on the outside is cool. SBC are not belly buttons just one of the best engines ever produced. CRUISER
Crap, I was hoping to check in to see some skin flying and the sound of bones being cracked. Oh well, maybe next thread.
