Rumor had it, A 392 was floating around from patron to patron at a local bar. The rumor was true, and I got ahold of it last week. It's not all there, but it's a good start. The Hemi will be way cooler than the 270 I was going to put in there... My car just became a real hot-rod....








too many ideas...


Now I have to fill the voids and make motor mounts.

 

Nice Score!

 

sugar & tits, nice

 

Looks good in there.

Will the 'ol banjo rear handle the torque and shock from a 392 and a stick? I know you won't be able to keep your foot outta it What about banzai holeshots

 

It would have worked for the 270, but with the 392 i have a lead on a 57' ford 9 inch. This car really is finding all its parts. Its amazing. Today, I met a guy that says hes got Buick drums..

 

Midgets LOVE Hemi's....

Cupcake is yours!!

 

No substitute for Cubic Inches.........put that 270 back under a bench where it belongs.He He.....I mean no disrespect to all that run a 270, I am just such a fan of the 392.....Littleman

 

Great score

 

Whats the alloy housing on the back of the motor off

 

Cool. All the best with the 392

 

man you pick up HEMIs floating around your local bar.
most of what I pick up, I gotta go see the doctor for.
hahahaha
nice stuff man.

 

I'm using a 68-70 small-block Mopar bell housing and I have a long, E-body 3 speed behind it. I haven't figured out my spacer plate thickness yet, but I have the 270 automatic spacer plate in there right now which I think is 3/4' thick. I'm also going to turn down a 147 tooth flywheel and slip a 130 tooth ring gear on it. I still need to pick up a clutch, and both the 147 and 130 ring gear though.


I can only imagine what I would come across and get out of the "regulars" if I was even old enough to go into a bar..

 

Thanks sounds like ya done all ya home work .......

You are now a man.......now, get a blower on it.

 

nice motor man, chrome them valve covers!

 

so its been awile... but I got some motor mounts fabbed up. It sucks when school, work, and life take time away from rad things.

I started out machining threaded spacers and welded them between two lower link tabs. Then, I cut them up and welded on some DOM tubing to them to give them a pretty shape. oh, I also made a threaded pad to bolt the motor to the pad up from the bottom.

AWESOME>

 

Boy they came a long way since I saw them last... They turned out really nice!

Loctite blue (#242) will be your friend...

 

Sick!!

 

Holly shit dude those are fucking cool.

 

Nice !!

CBB

 

nice score man

 

WOW!!! LOVE IT!!! Those mounts are insane too!!!!

 

What's in store for that 270? Lookin to sell? I have a 34 Plym that wants one.

Update: I have been really busy with school and work, but have been making it out to the shop once or twice a week... where I'm I at now? Well, I have been working on something special with the cowl and I need to Hang my doors. I don't have a matching set of hinges and the 12-24 screws that hold the doors on are hard to come by. can anyone post a really good picture of the correct set of hinges used on a 26-27 model T coupe or 28-29 pickup cab?

 

Nice work!

 

Do you have a picture of those engine mounts bolted up to the block? Just thinking about something that has me wondering... Please post some if you have some!

Thanks!

 

Those valve covers are SWEET!!!!!!! Wanna sell 'em?

 

Here is the only picture I have of the mounts bolted to the block. I plan on using different hardware, and lock-tightening the two one side, and snugging up the other so I don't break the block tabs. I'm trading the 270 and the three speed for a 4 speed, and I gotta keep those valve covers... They just might look killer chrome with the engine mounts..

 

Damn; I wish I had more time to work on my car.

 

I wish you had some time to work on MY CAR!!! (me too)
