I expect gearing is something we will have to play with. We run a c4 completely rebuilt with PA internals but of course the 302 doesn't get is off...
Thanks, very interesting. It seems all the builds in the list even as far as running Kaase p51 heads are using dual pattern cams.
Hi all, hoping for some opinions based on experience regarding camshaft selection for a 460 Ford. After trashing our alky 302 SBF in our altered,...
Would have been good to hear from him. Blown small block would be wild in stock wheelbase. It's shorter than a sit up and beg pop from memory!!...
Guys, it's an artist impression for some inspiration not an accurate cad drawing!! I posted for suspension advice not for insults one good...
Of course, I completely understand the point. But the last thing I would do would be to chop the front end off and add 4 inches then think s**t...
I don't intend to make shortcuts. I intend to build my car. It will look how I want it to look. I can't see the need to stretch the front end or...
Definately not sectioning the body. Nor stretching the fenders. I wouldn't go to those extremes. Engine mounting will be solved by either stay...
Thanks for the positive comments guys. I do have a steel roof and the full rear wraparound screen for it which will be made into a removable hard...
I just went down to the garage and chopped the member over the bell housing to set the engine back enough. It then causes a clash with the gearbox...
Ahotrod - thanks for the jokes! Always helpful for clearing the mind. Roadster1927 - if I had built the chassis it probably would have been...
Thanks chaps. Me and the other half are still debating!! The reason I'm torn is I didn't want to buy the chassis then spend a load of time and...
Thanks for the very blunt and clear opinion. Its very helpful and pretty much what's in my mind and the reason for posting was really to see other...
It's a rear sump pan but the ford still has the bit at the front that houses the oil pump
The engine is sat on a 2" block of wood on the crossmember for positioning. Since the picture i have replaced the wood with a piece of 1/2"! It...
My british 2 car garage. Ground level is lower round the back of the house than the front. So the garage is underneath my living room. Our Drag...
Thanks Pal. The chassis has been very well built albeit the poot photos dont show it. The crossmember over the bellhousing doesnt serve much...
I have a dilemma with my gasser build and realised this may be the ideal place for advice on my options. I'm currently building a Metropolitan...
[ATTACH] The one for sale in the UK is sat in my garage next to our bantam altered. The artist impression is how it should look when finished....
I know it's an old thread but love it. Is hot ridding not about vision and ingenuity but how many people on this forum have diddley squat of...
Old thread that I have just come across. I have recently purchased a Met built as a gasser on custom chassis with straight tube front and rover...
It certainly was jag powered, thats our very own sizzlin' sid slattery of 'The Oddlot'. The third car out, Martin Holgate's Paranoia is also jag...
Hey guys, I'm visiting my uncle in Nashville from 8th to the 21st January 2009. Anyone know of any shows or anything else interesting hot rod wise...
The bantam was most definately an American vehicle. It was based on the English Austin 7 frame but as a roadster or much nicer looking coupe than...
Americana is definately cool. there's everything you want too, classics, rods, trucks, and the best elvis i've ever seen or heard of bar the...
yeh, we'll be down there for the hot rods and nostalgia's.

Hey guys, thought some of you might be interested in some up to date pictures of our bantam altered project. There are asoem proffessional...
Think my neighbours here in manchester, england love me. We had some engine troubles leading up to our dragster's debut event so we spent the...
