Customs 49-54 chevy engine compartments....

Here are a couple that I built.

 

Tried to keep it clean while saving the original looks of the 54...like keeping the vent tubes!!

 

Isnt that the truth!!!!! but a slightly more edjucated jack ass......

 

Chevy 54 that looks real nice. I like how it still appears kinda factory but real cleaned up. just goes to show that you dont need a bunch of fancy stuff or 1500 hours of moulding and bondo work under the hood to make it look good

keep em coming

 

figured I would throw mine in there...

 

Dimebag looks real nice and tidy. i like it

 

Mines still under construction.
It looks like I will need to mount the brake booster in the oval ( dash access ) at the top right of the firewall area, so the plan is to fill that oval in and mount it there, Im using a s-10 booster and Master cylinder.

Does anyone know of a small heater that will fit under the dash like the factory one but newer and easier to adapt. Im told the stock heater core is very exepensive to replace and mine it bad.

What are you using for power brakes and where/how did you mount it?
thanks

Its a 6.0 caddy motor if you are wondering

 

this thing is pretty kickin'

 

Hey thanx man, that was what I was kinda shootin for, didnt really do much other then stripping an cleaning it for paint with a little smooth n fill for the factory wrinkles on the top of trans tunnel. The whole car was built with the original design in mind and only to change what needed to be! Thnx again

 

Engine needs to be replaced so there will be changes made in the engine compartment.

 

I dig it!!!!!

 

Here's my 54 Sedan Delivery with smoothed firewall. Just ignore the blower.

 

how about a 401 nailhead in my '50 Sedan Delivery

 

That is great. My buddy has been bugging me for years to put a Nailhead in my car....
I always thought it would look real good. How does it drive?

I think if I put a non chevy motor in It would be an old caddy mill dressed to the nines.

 

Well as long as your not an ass clown, you're fine....

 

I'll try and get some of my mom's 50 hardtop. It has a stock looking 327 in it. For now, here's my '53 wagon (it's not done yet):

 

I'm working on mine right now, I'll post up some pics when finished. Hopefully it will make you guys proud.
I'm diggin it Antibling

 

thats looks so good a nailhead in a chevy when i was in high school i got a 51 chevy conv. with a 56 buick drive train in it it was pretty much shot when i got it but it was done nice always wish i keep it

 

Or a tool bag for that matter!

 

Here you go Jeffrey James. I keep staring at that McGurk.




Slamit whatever you do roll the six, it has soul. I will say that nailhead is pretty sick.

 

Chevy54 that is PERFECT!! Hope my 53 engine bay looks half as good as this.

 

Car drives great. It was an intown delivery car for a parts store and it was retired by them in 65 and sat till I got it a couple of years ago. Front end is still tight. I'd say it drives as good as any 50 chevy with the stock suspension.

 

Il Gimmi the more I think about it I am really excited to be putting a 6 back in this thing. I just need a cool ass manifold to put up top now. Used to have an og fenton 2 carb but it is long gone. Maybee another one will come along.

 

Ok lets see some more guys. I know there are a ton of these here on the HAMB lets see those tasty engine compartments and get em all in one nice tidy package of a thread.

 

not a full pic but heres part of gambinos.

 

Here's a bump. My computer crapped out on me last week and I lost all my pics, sooooooo does anyone have any shots of a 500 Cadillac in a '53?

 

If it had "Mother of all" in the title this would be like 60 pages by now

 

Here's my 54 with a 235.

god this car rules.
