Wish HAMB had a "like" button!
The SBC was supposed to be my "Temporary" engine for like the next 20 years until I got around to figuring out how to put a 401 Nailhead in there....
I think I might just drop the 250 in for a while so I'm still on the road and then i'll rebuild either the 350 or the Pontiac to go back in. I...
I'm pretty intrigued by the Pontiac thing though, and it will piss off a lot of people so thats fun. I've always wanted a nailhead in a '57. I...
Not sure of the year but I think the motor is late 50's/ early 60's. I'll look into it.
I'm in Rolla.
I think I might drop the 6 in a drive it until I have the time and money to rebuild the small block. Also have a 383 stroker but I think it needs...
I only put about 1500 mi. on oil changes, but it did sit all winter and I didn't chance the oil until yesterday so I'm thinking it might have...
I already have the radiator in the 6cyl position. I'm not sure what the underlying problem is. I've had a built 327 and th350, a built 350 marine,...
Just wanted to get some opinions on this subject. I'm sick of building and buying new small blocks for my '57. I drive my car daily and have had 3...
Yeah, thats mine in the avatar.
I'm not a big fan of wide whites. I like skinnys or medium whites like the one you ground on. either way would look good,
I had 5.60's on 8 inch rims on my '50 chevy pickup. the tire shop hated me.
I dont even usually like cadillacs but holy shit that thing is cool!!
I prefer pressure bleeding. get a spare master cyl cap and drill it out and weld an air fitting to it and hook up a pressure regulator from a...
I like the 4dr gassers. I always thought it was a cool idea to make a family car haul ass!
The fact that you can brag and say you have a "deuce"
yes, all the way into the 90's. the only things that changed were the turn signal cams and stuff. You could even do something like mount a 41...
I live in Missouri, we still get away with pretty much anything but I feel your pain for sure!
Most things built before '64 were the best all around cars.
Hands down, rochester 2g, either small or large. Best carb ever made. Use them on everything in one form or another with amazing results. Just put...
I think its cool as hell
Theres actually quite a few old schoolers around. We actually make a living working on old cars so it cant be that bad. Living in Missouri you...
What do we need to bring back? Individuality and craftsmanship. Theres already too much stuff being re popped in my opinion. It defeats the...
Im thinking there is rust or old grease in there making it not want to go together right. I'm going to just have to pull it apart and see i guess....
Well, not the actual "block" but the stock merc clutch and everything. The customer brought me everything and the clutch/bell housing is all put...
Somebody on here will know. I'm trying to use a stock shoebox overdrive trans on a merc 8cm block but it acts like the pilot shaft is too big to...
Those look awesome on Shoe boxes.
Thanks Red, I will probably start making some more in a week or so. Have to finish patching rust on a '57, put a flathead in a shoebox, a trans in...
That looks great man! I wish I could feel how slick it is now because it was pretty smooth before with all the finger grips removed, I bet it's un...
