Finished this one a few days ago. Log intake for a 261 Chevy. The plenum is made out of a Model A torque tube. Carbs are Zenith 228s [img]
To the ones that replied while i was writing -Denis- I've seen pics of your car, that setup is really cool to say the very least -Ekimneirbo- I...
Well, that's exactly the point i'm trying to make, on my design the ends pivot, so the camber change should be similar to a double wishbone setup...
Well, i never meant to imply that, i was just asking if it was "acceptable", that meaning, it wouldn't stood out like a sore thumb in an otherwise...
Recently i had this idea about a suspension setup, it all started from the idea of building a Hot Rod with road racing capabilities, while still...
There's one in town, but car stuff is not really their speciality (that being said, i bought a few parts, including the engine I'm using, from...
I ended up not taking many pics of the transmission mounts, so today's update is a little shorter... I started up by adding the mounts for the...
I wish i had a mindset like this 10 years ago, but i was too young back then anyways... My father and I started building our truck from the...
Today i made the X member, and contrary to what i thought, i didn't need to remove the cab to do so (but i will have to, to finish up the welds)...
Today i removed the manifold and headers; I I'll take the intake to a machinist so he can get rid of my vacuum leaks, and on the headers I'll...
Thanks, I'll give it a shot then, keeping in mind that it will go down slowly. I actually have to change the oil on this engine soon (by age...
Hello people, I'm in the process of making an adapter to put a GMC L6 valve cover on my Chevy 261 engine. Since Chevys have the oil filler cap...
Finally finished the headers yesterday, and i'm now in the process of smoothing them out (didn't take pictures of that). [IMG] [IMG] I already...
Not as pretty as most of the stuff here, but hey, it's my first ever attempt at making headers... As you can see i still need to finish welding...
In my truck I will most likely mount it under the floor, on the passenger side, That is, if the X member i'll build doesn't interfere with it (I...
Moving on with the exhaust, i started making the 3rd pipe, and well... [IMG] ...The place i want it to pass through is taken by the fender...
This weekend i was researching into brakes, as that's one of the few things stopping the truck from being driveable (i can survive a test drive...
Kind of a different style to what you want, but since i use parallel leafs... 1928 Chevy frame, axle and springs. Not a low setup by any means,...
i've been following the build on Instagram, nice job! On the motor mount, i was planning on doing something similar on my truck. i assume you...
Yeah, the ideia was to leave it unpainted to set it apart from the street rods common here in Brazil, but then the Rodent mania made it's way here...
Quick update Finished tacking the second pipe, now i have to finish the welds and grind them, and the first half of the headers will be done....
Got this one a few years ago in an antiquary, originally it had mounts for a bulb inside, but right now it has a led in it. (Maybe the light up...
I originally made a thread on this project, titled "My father and son build", but so much has changed since the project went on hiatus (well, not...
Ok, so it seems i need to go after a jet kit for a stock 261 then. I looked up and found the sizes for that one, but i'll have to look up what i...
I haven't actually compared the jets to the stock carb, because the only one i have is half assembled, and who knows who has tinkered with that...
