In the time between my last post and now I have; built a shop behind my house, bought and sold about 20k lbs of machine shop equipment, started a...
Those look like nice machines. If it were me they would already be in the back of my truck.
1941 Buick sedanette for sale. Runs but needs the engine rebuilt. You can drive it around the yard if you would like. Straight eight engine,...
I think he is just welding the box and leaving the sector shaft intact and in stock form. If the box is cast steel then it's perfectly safe to...
I am indeed still working on the project. Unfortunately I don't have any real progress to share, work and my beautiful wife seem to keep getting...
Round here that would be at best a $50 engine block
You sure they don't measure 3.330? That would be .080" over.
Would a post '64 Mopar 8-3/4 bolt in? Assuming you had the right width of course.
You won't need to pre heat nearly that high if you are using silicon bronze. I think 200-300 would be just fine. I would plan on having to deck...
If you are any good with the Tig I would look into 308 rod or some silicon bronze filler. I find for better quality cast iron 308 rod works better...

Inlet, outlet, same thing when you are all doped up on hydrocodone. Just to be safe, I meant the lower one.
Squirrel, you have gotten my engine, (66 poly pictured above) confused with the op Budget36s' 1970s era 318. Mixup non withstanding your...
Yes my engine is a 66
Darn it squirrel, I forgot that part. Anyway, from the block to fan mounting surface is 7-1/2". [ATTACH]
The a series and la series have almost identical blocks. The only difference is a coolant transfer hold at the rear of the head surface. To...
If you can live with the outlet changing sides, the 318 poly pumps are shorter
The cowl you added looks just right. Looking great!
Stogy, I hope you never stop posting, I find some of your posts incredibly helpful and informative. All I was trying to say (in perhaps a heavy...
Remember, what we think doesn't mean jack. You have gotten this far thinking outside the box, no reason to start listening to us now. Run with...
I really like what you are doing here! Can't wait to see what comes next
Tell me more about the Harley wheel idea. I have been contemplating making some hubs to lace to some 19" rims for my Continental star speedster....
I really like what you are doing with this project. I have some '26 star transmissions I have been thinking of turning around and using as an...
That's a nice looking chop. Also I really like your engine choice, not enough people use those engines.
I painted an engine white once, it turned dirty yellow almost the first time I ran it. It's not something I would recommend.
It's been a while and progress has been slow, but I can finally say I have a frame! [ATTACH] I started with some 4inch box split down the middle...
The drivers door on my Dodge Sweptline no longer stays shut. Seeing how good latches for these trucks are hard to find I am thinking about using a...
Get a fixed shade lense and spring for a gold coated one. They let you see more true color instead of just shades of green. It can be especially...
Could you give me more details on your tapping setup? Is it powered or just turned by hand? I can't quite see the top of it in the picture you...
Thanks for taking the time to do such an in depth write up.
