I have a few old cars but starting to like these little Subaru STI's. A 2 liter car that makes 400HP for less than 15K. Young folks are driving...
My headlights that are not working also, maybe I should pull the light switch and have a look. My 56 ford was wrecked in 20012. The previous...
Looks like you are using a 29 frame, the V8 is heavier than the 4 banger, you may need to box the frame. What do you plan for brakes? have fun
I'm relocating and had a 40 year collection of Indian parts, really nice stuff. A friend was helping me with a 37 chief and I told him I was...
That car is just beautiful, I'm glad it's home.
Beautiful car, a red one just popped up on the main drag here in Ruidoso, NM. It's red with spinner hubcaps, 6 inch tall windows, very nice car.
Nice car, congratulations.
Thanks everyone, I did take 1/2" off the fan blades. I was toying with the idea of putting on a fan shroud. The engine has rust in the block...
You can modify the alternator bracket to get it in the middle, but the fan problem is a royal mess.
Thanks for the reply. The bracket was correct, the intake sits off to one side, I understand Offenhauser did this to have 4 carbs or something...
I have an offenhauser intake on my 8BA and it has put my fan and alternator 3/4" too far to the left. My fan has actually gotten into the lower...
Last December I bought the car in my Avatar from another state, when the car was delivered it had an L on the title and a 1 on the vin. Car was...

I can't believe what MOPAR has done on this engine. Looks like it will be running soon.
I like your car better.
I just went to Walmart and bought a 430 CCA lawn tractor battery. It's over 2 years old and nary a problem. I believe they cost 49.00, It will...
I have a 16 Lincoln MKT and I swear half the car is plastic
I found this thread yesterday and have read every single post. What knowledge and what friendship. I'm just glad to see that is will continue as...
I'm sure there are others with more knowledge than me, When I clean a tank i just put 3 or 4 hand fulls of nuts and bolts, add a gallon of diesel...
Your car looks really nice, far from a rusted out hulk. However as soon as you put a SBC in a model A it's no longer stock. I do like a decent...
I also am running a little warm, I run a 6 blade fan, 25% antifreeze and water wetter. It has helped greatly, but if I get above 3000 rpm, the...
Get an Edelbrock! about the same price a having a quadrajet rebuilt.
Welcome, looks like a nice body, it will be finished in no time. Does it drive ok now?
I'm putting one in my car, syncro I'm putting one in mine, synchromesh all the way to first. I have a 53 ford pu top loader and the gearing is...

I've read every post, and the car is basically done. Next year without this self imposed schedule, the car will be in top shape. I can't wait to...
All my friends use flat black, when the have bad body work.
By all means, I sat my engine in before boxing and as I let it down, I could see the frame give.
You say the correct transmission is a 1352-145, does that transmission have the gear ratios you are looking for? You have a 3.73 open rear and...
I have a 53 Ford half ton 3 speed in my avatar. It is just horrible, 2000 rpm at 40 mph.
Separate names with a comma.
