Projects Bye Bye Flatty, Hello 390 Caddy

Funny to see this thread back up.. I just found out a couple weeks ago where 2 Caddy 331s, one of which just happens to be running, is in hiding. Guy says he might possibly sell it to me.

Keep going. Tempt me some more.

 

In a 33 Ford Coupe

 

Yes we are.She's my soul mate..

 

Looking good buddy!

How much are you going to have to beat on the firewall with a 3 pound sledge to get it in?

Haha!



Sam

 

I shouldnt have to at all, I planned ahead when we built the car, has a recessed firewall already.

 

Darn.



Sam

 

Maybe we will cut the firewall completely out and set the engine back and make it a crazy Altered Coupe..lol

 

The New Caddy engine is together with the 34 now up at Kevin Gallagher's Oil Farm in Napa,Ca...I already encountered a problem today when I went to install the new Roto Faze Dizzy, Gotta send it back.The distributor shaft is about 5/16" too long and wont sit all the way down..

New Chrome Powergen, will have a red Delco Generator tag on it very soon.

 

What was done for the oil pump and are you using a standard harmonic balancer?
Just doing my 365 now and am wandering what was available for these parts.I have a pump kit already but was wandering what was out there for them.
Beautiful Motor you have there!!
Thanks Chris

 

Stock Pump and stock Balancer

 

love it when a Plan Comes Together !!! This thing looks SWEET !!!! >>>>.

 

New Radiator from Brassworks.

 

Marcus, you shouldn't have! When can I expect it? I'll get my '33 all dolled up for the arrival.

 

lol

 

First class job all the way. Definitely no shortcuts being taken. What tranny are you running? Can't wait to see (and hear) a video of that 390 running in your coupe. Gorgeous motor and car.

 

85 Camaro T5 Transmission.

 

Looks awesome! Even that radiator is beautiful! This gets me excited for the 390 I plan on building next

 

Beautiful!

 

Ultra rare Stewart Warner Twin Blue Volt Meter(Date Code March 1966) to use with the new 75 Amp Powergen

 

Killer....happy with the motor Marcus?

 

Havent fired it up yet, but Im sure I'll be more than happy! doing the mock up now and then off to the body shop to get the firewall repainted and the frame rails cleaned up and painted.

 

Beautiful!

 

What he said!!

 

Looks perfect in there Marcus...nice choice

 

Marcus, Great job! Looks like you got some great help along the way too. Congrats to all involved. That Caddy will fill out the engine compartment much better. I think flatheads look too small in these old Fords. Especially when in 32's. Not as bad in 34's. You sure are doing this up right. You will have some grunt now. Isn't that the point of hotrodding. Squeaks headers look great. He sure has some cool shit don't he? I gotta figure out how I'm going to get him to do mine when I get ready. I wish I was closer. I hate to ask how much that radiator was. I need one of those. I got a feeling it 's going to sting a little. Again, great job and now I want to see it even more than before.
