I know this is an old post, but were you referring to the Grist Bros '41 Willys with the 501ci 430 MEL engine?

485 FE built by Blair Patrick, air bonnet by an eighty year old former nuke welder, good stuff. Jim M

 

I'd be smiling too.

 

You want "Powered by Ford"??? How about
this - a Willys coupe powered by a S.O.H.C.
427!! Here's some pics from an old 'picture
post' I made showing the 427 Cammer-powered
Willys that appeared on epay a while back.

Yup, thats the car, and holy crap that cammer 41' willys is awesome, I know there was one 41' with an SOHC that ran called "The Cat Skinner"

 

Progress on my '64 Fairlane. Finally squeezed in the tunnel port 427 for the first time.

 

Headers look like they will be a fun job to build. Motor looks good in there.

 

Please excuse my ignorance, but what are the brass plugs in the runners for, nitrous?

 

Flathead power all the way!

 

Thanks. Ya, I have a set from crites that fit, just a tight squeeze to get them in there. Plug maintenance will be a bitch.

You're spot on, the previous owner of the intake ran a nitrous set up. Sucks he drilled it but I don't think the plugs look too bad.

 

BOSS 302 powered </O>

 

Actually I think it looks kinda cool, plus it'd be easy to add nitrous if you wanted to.

I'm very interested in your '64 Fairlane project as I'm starting one of my own. You mention the Crites headers. Did you use the Crites shock tower plates when you cut your towers? Did you use the Crites engine mounts? Are you going to run the stock suspension up front? Any info you could provide would be appreciated.

Runs very nicely. Mostly original paint, too.

 

I remember seeing that '32 with the Cleveland in Sturbridge, 1978!

 

Have a 514, Blue Thunder heads, tunnel ram with Predator carbs going in a 42 Studebaker Champion coupe.

 

Great thread! Dad and I are restoring the Cat Skinner and looking for old photos and videos of the car.
Thank you
