    It's been 4 years since my motor went up in my 49. I just took it for its first ride last night. The car started as a 49 olds 76, I swapped in a 324 bored to 345 with 3x2, harmons and Collins solid roller, 371 #16 heads with Chevy valves, and a 200r4. This thing is a completely different car. You can't wipe the smile off my face. ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1470794243.459414.jpg ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1470794264.376963.jpg ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1470794383.427382.jpg

    That is a beautiful car. Job well done. What gear are you running in the rear for that OD tranny?

    Thanks guys. Vtwhead, it still has stock rear gear. I believe it's 3.64. It cruises great.

    The coupe is outstanding. Will you comment on the motor mount situation when replacing the flat 6 to a rocket V/8?
