I fired up the hemi last night for the first time since I've had it back from the machine shop. I have a Hot Heads GM manual adapter on it with a...
I know this may be a vague question or comment, but at my shop I have a Miller Diversion 165, not a bad little machine, I used to have a Lincoln...
Great read and excellent to see many of us share the same passion. I recently opened shop working on air cooleds and vintage BMWs, but I have my...
Finally got the firewall fit today. I had to cut a lot off the trans adapter to clear the trans tunnel opening, it looks MUCH better now as well...
Windshield is a dollar bill high now. Gotta have the sinister look. As the :Bones say, "needs to look like its going 100mph sitting still"
Thanks again guys! I'll be back on it going hard this week. Had to take a little get away up to Detroit this weekend for the Autorama, gotta see...
Thanks guys!
Heading out in a few, see y'all tomorrow!
Got the engine nice and happy down in the frame, that was about the last major thing I need to do before making good progress. I used some stock...
I'll have plenty of build threads, we're backed up for the next 4-6 months at least here!
LONG delay in the build. I moved everything to my house until the new shop is ready March 1st. Been chipping away at getting all the metal work...
Hell. Yes.
Thanks for all the tips guys! I have PLENTY of durablocks, cutting one to size is a good idea, I'll give that a shot. I have some masonite around...
I've got all the metal work done, its the polyester plastic work Im doing now, trying to keep sharp edges is nerve racking. I like pvc idea though...
So I'm finishing the body work on my '32 Ford sedan tonight, and I'm thinking of tools that may help in certain areas. I know everyone makes their...
I'm sure I'll meet you when I'm up there in a couple weeks picking up my sedan body at the shop
Looking great Chris, hopefully I'll make it out there next year!
I'm gonna have to give Richie hell over that ticket hahaha, he told me no way he was getting one this trip
Probably a boot from something and wire running through it. Now where to find them is another story.
Looks good Chris, I dig it!
The diameter of the port is a LOT bigger on the 330 heads, just in stock form. I have some pictures of the stock exhaust manifolds, and the...
Thanks for the comments everyone! Jimi- The heads are straight bolt on, they received some mild port work, but nothing crazy. The springs are...
Made 374hp at 6600rpm, has more in it but we were being conservative. Intake is a Weiand, took quite some time to track down.
I had to look up "ymmv" too haha, "Your mileage may vary"
I have a set of .041, .043, and the stocker .045 jets right now. I picked up a set of #71 power valves to see how the engine likes it. If I need...
Probably still has more in it too honestly.
I'm willing to try anything with it, I appreciate the input Brian, I wasn't sure if your car was progressive or not. We'll see what happens. -Brian
Thanks Duane, All the emulsion tubes are perfect, no crushed tubes or holes, all have the 4 holes. When I rebuilt all the carbs I took care of...
Cut up the best and restore the rest!
A little info from today. 2 carbs had poor flowing accelerator pump discharge jets, so I tore all the carbs down, put them in the solvent tank,...
