33-34 Ford pickup with hydraulic and 12V updates, equipped with an 8BA and a 39 box with Zephyr gears and either a Columbia rear or a QC.
ahh...the much-vaunted "hey mister, your wheel is wobbling" method. Used it on occasion when everything else failed. Drove one old 38 Century...
Yeah, especially if that blind advice results in "reverse spring-eye"
Keep that great look of gleeful anticipation on that boy's face Dad
My avatar is a 1927 all-steel roadster pickup on 32 rails with a 289/C-4.
meant for you to google "1954 Kaiser Manhattan Rebuild"
Eric Gordon's 1954 Kaiser Manhattan Rebuild "google" this title. The guy fixed up a 54 Kaiser and stuck a 350 in it. Some of his hints may...
"....if the car didn't come that way....", may I assume that all your cars are completely stock? The essence of this hobby is to build what we...
I was thinking 42 International, but we all know how long trucks hold onto styling cues. Thank you all for your knowledge and your willingness to...

I thank all of you - the power of the H.A.M.B. is undeniable. Y'all are the MENSA group for hot rodders and other gearheads.
Thinking perhaps the Emi-Sul semi-hemi that Simca made for their Brazilian passenger car, but I'll have to continue research on line and find a photo.
That was my first impression also, but I 'googled' the company and as you show - wrong direction, not same depiction.
Here is a better picture of the engine from the rear.
This engine appeared in a thread on FB with no attribution as to from whence it came. It is a V8 obviously, and that logo on the valve cover is...
Trivia - I had a 65 Excalibur (12th made, so still on Stude frame with discs and original suspension). It had an L79 in it with an automatic...
When I worked at Boeing in the mid-60s, I had an all-aluminum car (non HAMB-friendly) that I did not want to get banged up in the parking lot. I...
So slick - glad he was able to get his hands on it, and it's great that it will be back on the road - where it belongs. Thanks for posting it up.
Great approach to making it right. I agree, there are a lot of old "street" rods out there that just need the touch of someone that has their...
If you're a novice (as you acknowledge), then perhaps you should send these pictures to Brookville and ask THEM the purpose before cutting them...
I know I'm not real fond of it.
Jim - I just "googled" AMC V8 - you are correct. Don't think there's any way to tell the size, unless all orange means something. Thanks much...
Jim - any idea what size? 304? 401? other? I thought maybe AMC also, but do they really have that many v/c hold-down bolts?
I see the distributor in front, but it's angled, so I'm thinking not an sbf. Asking for help telling me what it is.
Never pass up the chance to do the right thing.
You don't mention what year and model Buick, but I ran a 700r4 with a 9" 4.11 with Auburn unit behind my last 383 cu in sbc stroker (440hp). That...
I have flown over that place a couple of times and even driven by it on numerous occasions. Always intended to stop, but many of you know how...
There is one for sale on the Riverside, CA C/List. Just put in Battersby and you should find it. Guy has an interesting provenance on that item.
The T in my avatar is an all-steel 1927 - just a tad more leg room. My youngest son is 6'2" and he's fairly comfortable on local trips.
