Great find on an awesome truck man! I have a 46. I went the IFS route on mine. Got it from Scotts Hot Rods. Install was simple. I also went...
Check out this setup that Legens Hot Rods has. Its what I plan to use on my 46 Dodge. http://www.legenshotrod.com/products/detail-parts.html...
Thats a slick setup 16oz. Wouldnt work in my truck though unfortunatly. I finished my trans mount today, and, well, I dont like it. So, it...
Im not one to ever insult someones work, but, I would have probably done that one just a bit different. Laine.
Dont know yet. I have 3 flywheels sitting here that I havent looked at yet. Im a long way off from even being able to start the engine. In...
Done and done. Top of the intake is .02 degrees tilted back. No worries there. Drive shaft angle is about 7 degrees down and 1 or 2 degrees...
I like the way you think Gene. I seem to change my mind on things about every 4 seconds. I had just read pretty much exactly what you said...
Thats what I'll be working on this weekend. Threw a monkey wrench in to the situation today. I picked up a 4 speed today. So, Time to change...
Thanks for the advice guys. I put a truck pan on it last night, that solved a few problems for me. The motor mounts will be a pretty simple...
I agree Clutch. However, the problem is if the motor and trans is level, there will be a significant angle between the tail shaft and the pinion....
Ok, plan B.. or C or D or whatever Im up to now. After talking to my cousin who has been building drag cars and the like (think tube frame super...
For sure. Well, guess its time to fire up the plasma torch and the mig and see what happens. Just wanted someone else to validate what I was...
Thats kinda what I was thinking. I'll have to cut the "hump" up higher, then make a cross member to bolt to the existing one that holds the...
Hey fellas, I pretty much have decided how Im going to handle the engine mounts now. Thank you for the pics and advice. New question. There...
Advertising a 1974 Dart 4 door with a slant 6 as a "Rare classic muscle car". Saying that this "classic" rusted out Dart is worth more because...
That looks similar to the plan I have in mind right now. With the Mopar "spool" type mounts being 4" wide and the IFS crossmember being 4" wide,...
Thanks for the advice, pictures and comments. I like that mount you made for that Shivvey motor. Looks simple enough and effective. I have...
I could build a K frame for it. But I would think there is a better way, just not sure yet which way is better. The engine is set back quite a...
Hey guys, Im building a 46 Dodge truck with a 360/727. I put an IFS under the front with a rack and pinion. From what I know, its best to...
I have a Miller 180 and man do I love that thing. I bought it new from a welding shop in Nashville about 3 years ago. Worth every penny I spent....
Heres my 46 Dodge. One picture of it when I bought it, the other two are what it looks like right now. I hope to get it on the road pretty...
Dude, we just did a Med evac right next to Ghundy Ghur. Launched at about 1800 and took the patient to KAF. Wish we could have stopped back by...
DUDE! No fair! You must be at KAF or something. You should have come out to FOB Ramrod and cooked today! The chow out here was rough to say...
I've seen people do the same thing with the dollar over the exaust. I suppose it would show a bad valve, but, then again, if the valve is that...
Here is my 46 Dodge. A work in progress obviously. I'll finish her up when I get home from Afghanistan in March. I picked it up in Oklahoma...
I got deployed to Afghanistan again. One day I'll retire and acctually get to spend more than 12 months in the US workin on my trucks/cars.
The 904s oil pan is pretty much a square with one corner cut off at an angle. The 727 is the same shape, but has a "lump" that juts out on one...
