@jimmy six - That's encouraging....thank you. Anyone else have experiences to share? My other concerns beyond horsepower is the cost and the...
Yeah...most signs are pointing me to the T5. If that's the case, who makes the best conversion kit? I want to retain closed driveline.
Friends, How much HP do you think the Mitchell Transmission can handle behind a hopped up banger? I'm targeting potentially 110-120hp. I've...
Beautiful stuff John.
It's cruel that they still have it up on their website. No one cautioned me about the emotional toll of bangers.
Ok so I have to ask...are there ANY Donovan's out there in hiding? Is this a dream that should be completely forgotten? And yes, I know a...
They are out of business.
@panhead_pete - that 34 is pretty much my dream car. You are definitely having an enviable amount of fun - thanks for bringing us along for the ride.
Thanks @winduptoy! This spacer from Speedway is pretty close to what you have described, but closer to 1/8" thick....
Dennis - do you have any more photos of the car or build?
I like the style of your builds. Looking forward to seeing it on the other side.
Friends, It's fairly well known (and confirmed) that Kelsey Hayes wheels won't fit over upgraded cast iron mechanical (rear) brakes. The...
@panhead_pete - Yeah, unfortunately Andrews doesn't cover seatbelt installation for roadsters in his book. Ultimately I've just got to find a good...
If it did - I think it would look great in your driveway! :)
This weekend I was supposed to track down an oil leak, fix my horn, start planning for a new seat, and settle on mount points for seatbelts...but...
@V4F - yep! Head on over here ==> https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/may-2022-banger-meet-thread-may-your-banger-run.1262905/#post-14470198
Shhh...you seem to have found out it wasn't really a Ferrari. :)
@Kim Lewis - I don't have any info to offer except to say you've come to the right place! Welcome!
Thanks @29 Speedster! Out for some fun today... [ATTACH]
What's the deal if you want to run these on Kelseys? Do you need a tube? EDIT: Did some research and it sounds like I'm going to have to run...
Well, while probably an unpopular opinion on this site and I do love American Graffiti, but I think Grand Prix might be my favorite overall too....
Ok now I have to go rewatch 2 Lane Black Top.
My mother in law seems to know a lot about the people that made this film...and some of the real life background that went into the writing. She...
Thanks for all the info on recommended carbs. So here's an even better question...Are dual carbs necessary to get the most out of the Serr Miller...
That grille shell video (and the work product) is nothing short of amazing. Thank you for sharing your work.
Whoa. I haven't seen those before. Those are pretty! ...and apparently quite expensive. I'll look into them further. Thanks.
Thanks @denis4x4 - that's just the kind of input I am looking for. I will add them to my list of considerations.
Yes. I'm seeking solid, reliable (by A standards) drivable horsepower. Currently thinking dual downdraft + 81s but seeking opinions/advice where...
Thanks @johnneilson. I am still figuring out the rest of the puzzle. Cam...intake...carbs, everything else is up in the air. This will be atop a...
Just pulled the trigger on the Serr Miller head. The wait begins!
