If there's any way of hanging a clutch pedal you should be able to use a hydraulic setup.
Well the block would have to be redesigned for valves and ports. Obviously you can't just bolt flatheads onto a Chevy. This would have to be a...
The ultimate hot rod engine would be a flathead version of the SBC. SBC crank, bell housing, flywheel, oil system, water pump, pan, timing cover,...
That's the truth. Even using NOS fenders and panels, if you've ever tried to restore an early Mustang you'll find that the car can be way off and...
When the yellow McLaren came into our shop I took the opportunity to sit in it. I'm only about 6' tall and just under 200lbs. I got in, but...
McLaren's are so cool. We had this one in our shop a while back. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I think if that 57 was chopped a few inches it would come back into proportion. It's really cool, just a bit too tall.

Hot rod Bugeye and my lovely granddaughter. She loves little old Brit cars! And one of my grandsons comes over to help wrench!
We've used chrome vinyl wrap on some parts and it looks pretty good. We did a couple of simple bumpers and those are holding up well. From six...
I once spent a boatload of time porting some heads only to find that they didn't flow as well as a stock set of vortecs....:(
Wesco Performance has a good selection of seat belt options and colors. I've used their stuff many times.
You rarely see full fenders on the 27 roadster/32 chassis combo. I really like the stance. Thanks for showing us this bit of history! The panel...
Me. Japanese-American, emphasis on "American".
What transmission are you using?
On my 32 I used the 2-3 shift lever on my 46 column to push/pull a rod to the T350 I was using. I cut off the unused lever. I made an aluminum...
Cool dad. But I would take the videos down. Some overzealous asshat could try to charge you with child endangerment or some other nonsense.
One of the biggest reasons you get extended service intervals on new cars is the EFI. There's no fuel washing down cylinders like there is on a...
The distance between pulleys can be a factor, too. On the drive side the belt will be taut under load. But if you have a very long run on the...
Maybe I'm just getting old, but I really don't feel the need for 500hp on my daily drivers. It doesn't get me to work or the store any quicker...
MEL, no question.

My favorite cars extracted a lot of skin, sweat, saliva, and blood DNA as they were built.
We all love hot rods, fast vintage sports cars, those sexy two-seat specials from the 50's.....Problem is, when you get to the age of "last car",...
Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I'd keep that engine. Nothing sounds like a straight eight! Then I'd make some sort of adapter to bolt a...
Is the cam firing order for a 351 or 289/302? I once installed a 302 can into a 351w and it took me a week to figure out why it wouldn't...
The OEM I-beam works pretty well, but I really like having disc brakes and a power steering box on these old trucks. Those two things really...
A mechanical fan should work as well, if you have room and use a good shroud. I used this electric one on the latest swap we did. It moves a...
We put a 5.0 with a C4 into a 57 a couple of years ago and it was kind of tight in a few spots. A SBC would have been easier. Instead, I'd...
Is that a bolt welded to a tube on that shackle mount?
