have you ever noticed that the majority of the guys that give you a hard time about running a "bellybutton engine", drive bellybutton cars?

I'm not sayin that I wouldn't own a deuce or a model A, its just an observation.

 

This thread gets better every day.

 

I really dig 327s

 

Back then, I thought only the gold chainer's could afford a new Chevy engine! Gary

 

They were $13.00 at our Chevrolet dealer. Chris

Let's see if I can get rid of these red X's!

 

Question for those of you "in the know";

Last night my buddy picked up a set of finned Offenhauser valve covers, staggered bolt holes (265, early 283). How rare are these VC's? They are in damn near mint shape, looking forward to bolting 'em on!!

 

I just sold a set that I had repolished a few months ago. I wouldn't put them in the Hildebrandt-Weiand Block Letter category in terms of rarity but they are up there in terms of cool factor. In fact I think besides the Corvette covers those were the most popular back in the late 50's early 60's on Chevy's. You don't find them often these days especially the staggered bolt kind with no provisions for oil fill on them. I think that's an awesome score!!!!

The only reason that I went with Hildebrandt's is because (A) I found a set (B) I found the OFFY's were a bit taller then I wanted (they clear adj rockers) and I wanted more of a low profile cover like the Vette ones. The Hildes are not as tall and so I went them but the OFFY's were damn cool I say!

Polish them bitches up and run them with pride and the confidence that not very many people with have them especially on the early blocks.

 

Right on.

Personally, I prefer chromed stock stuff over polished stuff...but I think I better run 'em seeing as my buddy found them (even though I gotta pay him back ha).

So far I have more VC's then anything else hot rod related it would seem

 

Nothing wrong with some Chromed Aluminum VC's Old Soul if that's your pleasure haha!!!! You're going to love 'em man, they take the "SB" out of SBC ya know? They're rad!!!! Congrats.

 

My '57 'Vette covers were chromed at one time, although a litte plakey now, do they still count??

Just trying to fit in with you cool kids!

 

If you guys see red X's let me know 'cause the upload feature is freaking out on me.

 

All bueno now

 

Anyone got anymore info or pics on this model A sedan?

 

Can't find anymore info on Double Trouble other than that. I'll keep lookin', though...

...in the meantime.

 

Here's another for the end of the world!

 

Shit and it's for sale too. If I buy it tonight I'll only have 4 hours to drive it give or take.
