Sometimes "just because you can"

Aux out the back to get the heat away from it.

 

I saw a 6 deuce intake for an FE... Not on a cammer. In that truck. Whats the deal there?

im an FE fan....

 

We borrowed our motor for our slingshot to build the motor mounts in the truck before the builder was done with the SOHC. We have an Edelbrock 6x2 for it. 390FE with a nice lumpy cam.

as you older timers would say.. that's boss!

its coming along nice..

Wow nice job.......................

 

It'l never work. The frame is too heavy and the motor is too underpowered.
HEY ORVILLE,,,,,,,,,COME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Very funny! Kinda early to be drinking ain't it

 

So when is this going to be in texas so i can feast upon it with my own two eyes?

 

Another awesome build from the Chicago area boys. I suggest you invite the naysayer about your chassis out to the track during a test and tune session. A couple of runs strapped to the underside of the frame should dispell any thoughts of "inadequate"

We'll take that as a compliment

Great looking build.

 

Awesome!!!!

 

That is going to require some plastic bags and a box of depends to drive. Sweeeeet!

 

Franklin Delano !!!!!!!

 

only thing i see breakin is hearts..

 

I could see how someone at very first glance could be thinking there could be problems with rotational torque.
But then you have to examine all of the cross bracing and the center tunnel and realize that this engine is mounted extremely well and the trans mounted in tight too making the whole unit rigid.

And that is the real beauty of it in my opinion, that it can still look delicate up front......but it's not.

That's why I like looking a their tube work.

 

Now there's some engineering.

 

Just keep the pics comin'.
I'm taking notes.

 

How do you do the bends for the kick-up in the rear?
Those are some nice looking rails.

 

Thanks Fab32! LOL

The rear, as well as the front, rails are mandrel bent box tube. And are 3/16 wall. All the round tubing is 4130. The entire assembly is GTAW (Tig) welded.

For those that can't see it from my crappy photographs, the scatter shield is solid mounted to the chassis, making the motor/trans somewhat monocoque. As the block is aluminum, and mounted from the skirt mounts, there are urethane bushings in the end of them at the chassis. Mounting any high horse power motor from the skirt solid is a bad idea, as the vibration can crack the skirt. The trans is mounted with a standard rubber mount at the tail shaft. I'm sure a ton of drag racers that made the mistake of running a solid mount on the tail shaft of their trans will profess to the FAILURE the trans experienced. LOL

 

Damn, I would kill you and feed you to my dogs for that engine.

 

omfg ! holy santa clause shit ! that fuckers gonna be a rocket ! sohc baddest motor of all time ! hrc fantastic work on the fabrication and chassis top notch work as always ! cant wait to follow this build as it comes to life !

 

Very nice. I like how the triangulated center structure goes from the kickup all the way up under the scatter shield. Where'd you source the mandrel bent rect tube? Morrison?

 

This will be yet another badass ride from you guys. I hope to make it to your open house coming up in august after goodguys.

 

Actually, it's Thursday, Aug 11 (6pm), immediately prior to Goodguys Weekend.

I'll just leave these here. Jan. '65 Hot Rod mag article on this beast of a motor.

Gotta love these Hambers, thanks for the articles!

 

Great project guys, keep up the good work. Build's like this are the ones that put the HRCC shop in a class all by itself.

For all you Chebby guys out there who don't understand the Cammer, Please read Jay Brown's Hot Rod article on how to build a Cammer from new components.

Again, I love the Hambers, thanks for finding the obscure articles. You guys are scary!
