Given my welding skills it would be easier for me to just make a new actuator arm. [emoji6] Sent from my SM-G930P using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
A buddy of mine and I are planning a ride out to Tennessee from Denver. While adding South Carolina to that wouldn't be difficult, it'd be hard to...
PURE GOLD! Thanks for posting that Speedy! Paul, can you see my questions in the picture below? [ATTACH]
My bad, I forgot about the Buick Syncromesh...yea the spline would be wrong. My 303 had a Ford 3 speed on it so I'm not sure where the pressure...
So the third party I was using to store my pictures has decided to close that function down. I can still see most of my pictures here but am...
Well, everything fit together but I haven't installed the slave cylinder yet. There is maybe, at most, a 1/16" play between the throwout and the...
I was hoping I could get some clarification on something from the experts. I found and mounted a flywheel housing that swaps my starter to the...
Godsmobile, I feel that vtwhead, speedy, & Paul all have more knowledge about the almighty Olds in their pinky finger than I do but I just wanted...
I was going by what I'd read when ordering the bearing. Plus after talking with a couple guys the reason we came up with was that the hydraulic...
I've got an 11" GM clutch disk as my trans is a Saginaw but finding a 11" Ford pressure plate has not been as easy. I just ordered one you...
Well, it's certainly nothing heavy, it's a '52 Henry J with a 8" Ford rear. I think the engine and trans weigh more than the entire car...ok maybe...
I know the previous owner had a Ford Flathead transmission on my 303. I took a picture of the pressure plate last night when I pulled it off and a...
If it is as simple as picking any 11" pressure plate and lining up the holes I'm going to feel pretty stupid...but it wouldn't be the first time....
So I see the clutch plate questions above and I'm going to push that a bit farther. I'm putting a 4-speed Saginaw behind my 303 and due to space...
So here, more or less, is where I am right now. [IMG] There are 14" wheels on the car but I don't think I'll be able to use them due to...
So with the frame painted, engine and trans mated, it was time to finish up the brakes. I pined everything together and a few things didn't look...
I picked up a couple of goodies along the way as well. An original front windshield with nice chrome and rubber that is still soft. [IMG] I...
Well it has been a wile since I've made a substantial post on this thread. I have been chipping away at it but not as fast as I would like. I...
I've been sitting here at work rolling around ideas for a steering setup on the J and was hoping to get some input. I'm thinking the easiest way...
I remember my youth, plenty of time but no money. Now I'm an adult and I've got a little more money but no time. I'll post an update soon, I have...
[IMG] We have lift off!! Now that I know where I want the engine to sit in the frame this will make it easier to build engine / trans mounts. Big...
I went out, picked up a set of #10 heads & a 2x4 Weiand intake. Rather than rebuilding them & putting them on an old engine I'm going to run the...
[IMG] Picked up some nice quarters, now I just have to drive them back to Denver! Sent from my SM-G930P using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Well I haven't placed the order for the new parts yet....... It looked like the old rivet holes lined up with the holes on the disks. I was...
Now some pictures!! I mounted (temporarily) the radiator so I could get some idea on the engine set back and see how it all fit together. [IMG]...
I'd see some info on using the 8.8 out of an Explorer because they have 31 splines, some have limited slip, plus the wide range of gearing used in...
Best laid plans of mice and men..... I'd always been meaning to read your entire build thread but I seem to only manage a little free time at work...
So after seeing my setup (Torino) and what it would take to get it in plus the insane weight of the entire thing I think I'm going a different...
I went ahead and picked up a set of Torino rotors, bearings, and even the calipers. The inside bearing and the grease seal were both just a hair...
Got the radiator mounted, it's straight & fits the way I wanted it. Obviously it's all got to come apart to get blasted & painted but the fab is...
