Okay, are my 416 heads useable for a 327, IMO the 416 heads would not be a good fit for a 350, would they work well on a 327? Also will the cylinder walls of 327 take that or will they be to thin?

I am looking at a 68 307, and wanting to know what everyone thinks, i am thinking about using the 307 block and pistons and possibly going with 350 crank and rods, and possibly using my 305 HO 416 Heads. is this something that would be worth doing? i am just thinking that the 305 is pretty...

well it's set up for a quadrajet, and I know that the stock intake was not very efficient. I was looking at the edelbrock performer and a edelbrock 600 cfm carb on ebay last night and i think that is what i am gonna go with. Now i havent spent to much time with 305's.( i have owned more small...

For sure, I am going for a decent street rod that can hold its own. Sobi was looking at the regular thumpr cam. Also back on the carb. I just began pulling the motor apart a before I did I checked to see if that Holley 750 even would fit on the intake manifold....no go. It won't fit so I am...

Sweet, thanks! I will look into those.

I have a 305 for my project, and i have a few parts for it. and i cant decide what carb to put on it. I have a Holley 750 CFM that came with it on the side. but that just seems a little bit on the overkill. Any suggestions? I haven't taken it apart yet, but the guy i got it from said it was a...

Sweet I am looking at those as I write this reply, I appreciate all the help I am receiving here. :D

I know i have a lot of parts that are literally just that. but I am doing this to learn more about the whole project, and not just the normal motor rebuilds. but so far I am still working on getting the frame rust free and i am ordering the steel to box my frame and to fab the tranny cross...

Well you got a point! :D

Yes this is my first build ever, i have done work on running and driving projects, but never from the frame up. I will probably just go with leaf springs. i am still learning and dont want to bite off to much. My next project will be a big one!! Thank You,

http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Deluxe-Coil-Over-Rear-Suspension-Kit-Plain-Finish,15369.html Can anyone point me in a direction with a rear suspension. As i have noticed rat rods are frakensteins, and kind of a mix of everything. will this suspension kit work with my 12 bolt chevy rearend?

I was asking around to a couple local guys here in my town, they told me i need to do a mock up of where everything wants to sit. then mark where i need ad steel, but they also told me just to box the frame every 12 inches using the 3 sided channel cross members, any advice. is this a good idea...

I spent a few hours working on the Frame today. Mainly getting getting the rust off. Plan to have the rest of the rust removed, and lay some primer down. here is my progress i will post more pictures tomorrow! I laid some primer on the part where i worked today to keep more rust from coming back!

That was the rearend the frame came with, i am putting a bucket on it with a 50's chevy pick up bed on it! Gonna keep it a long bed an put a heavier type of fuel tank to help with the weight, and to help with the weigh it down some more i am going to do all steel work no fiberglass body work.

It looks like based on the info you gave me, its from a 41-46 Chevy. I appreciate it, now i just need to find some common ways of building the frame to handle what i want and need it too
