    Almost ready to install in my "32 truck chassis. Still have to mount the fuel log so the lines stay straight and have them polished, not sure I'm happy with them yet. Have to plumb 6 water lines for the heads, and finish wiring it. I polished the block before paint, so it shows better.
    Just thought I would share.

    Looks good enough to eat...

    Counting cylinders, I'd call that a "Flathead and a Half"...

    WOW! That is some serious bling. Is the trans chromed or polished aluminum?

    Keep up the good work.

    it looks like they are covered up,probably from painting on the sides look at the first set of pictures, most likely taped over to keep junk out until everything is hooked up [​IMG]

    I may save the picture of the entire thing for a wall paper
     
  20. it might just be me...but i dont think that was a dumb question. i was wanting to know the same thing.

    the thing is awsome by the way.

    Thanks, I really appreciate all the nice comments.
    Yes, the ports are taped up, I will leave it that way until the headers are finished.
    The tranny is a '74 Maverick C 4 that I had polished and the kit to go onto a Lincoln.
    It's going to have a 3 piece hood, with the theme of the truck it wouldn't look right with it exposed, in my opinion.
     
  25. I am looking for the water inlet. All I can see is three small elbows at the top of the heads between the plugs is this where the water is to be routed to the radiator.

    Thanks

    Yes, those 3 on each side will be plumbed forward and screwed into a machined piece that will be the 1 1/2 radiator hose. I hope that makes sence.
