Congrats! Thats already a nice looking ride and you haven't even got started yet!
345 Desoto has better/faster typing skills :)
I would just go with something like this in the stock distributor body if I wanted electronic ignition with a stock look......
Welcome to the HAMB! Lots to learn here. Good luck with your build.
Now that would be nice! I've never ran a blown Hemi but they sure do look great!
I usually don't advocate the chevy in a ford thing but in this case I would use the supercharged 350 and go have fun with it. If you subtract the...
I really love this build. How bout some pics of it with the new pinstriping?
Wow, what a great deal! I wish I would have started with more then just a cab and doors on my 38 build as I would have been money and time ahead....
Wow, awesome thread. I can't believe that I hadn't noticed this till now. I'm putting a Lasalle tranny behind my '51 331 hemi so I will...
I'll vote for the hemi. I've got a magazine from the 60's where they dropped a 392 into a 50's Ford truck and the fit/ease of installation seemed...
I've always loved the 5 windows and can't wait to see how this comes out. Good luck with your build!
Thanks for posting Bob! I always look forward to your event coverage and can't wait to see the rest.
Don't the early Mustang and Falcon share the same basic engine compartment (I'm not sure about this but its what I have heard)? If so you could...
I really like that pic of yours out on the salt Captain Zoom!
I'm glad this thread is getting some attention. It seems like the 38-39 trucks get overlooked a little bit. All I have is a cab and doors so no...
Check out this older thread...I think this intake is based on what your looking for so maybe this guy still has some....
Back in the 80's here in Colorado Springs the cruise spot was Nevada Ave. I spent many a summer night out there with my buddies...good times
That was cool, thanks for posting it. I didn't realize that old motion picture stuff was flip flopped/reversed...unless they had a bunch of right...
Back in the 80's my cousin had a V8 Vega running a FORD 302/c4 combo. That was a cool little car that bucked the trend.
I get the same way when I buy a new part (or project). The biggest problem for me is that I do so much "building" while I lay there sleepless...
Hey, if you end up needing to bore the block and the old pistons aren't damaged I might just be interested in them (pm me if thats the case). I'm...
Another welcome from Colorado! Gotta love the hemi's!
Had the same thing happen to a 289 Ford that sat a long time (to the point it pushed out a front oil galley plug)...drop the pan and check...
Nice score! I'm interested to see if it has any hop-up goodies on the inside after what you were saying about the sticker on the valve covers...
Thanks for posting this! I always enjoy seeing a bunch of cool cars and pretty ladies.
Good luck on the hemi! My avatar should tell you which engine I think the plymouth deserves :)
With a stock stall converter and unknown gears I would tend to agree with 58Fridge100 and point you to a smaller cam that will help get that thing...
The 331 and the Hudson should make for a beautiful and potent combo. The hamb is a great source for info and parts for your hemi build. I have...
I could use that glove box door if its halfway decent. PM me if you bring it home and want to part it out.
I saw those same pistons for sale and the first thing I thought of was "TRW part number". As a matter of fact I was googling L2061 cross...
