I know Speedway motors sells adjustable wiper arms&blades[cl

I found it at my local grocery store and grabbed it after reading about it here. I love it! Lots of cool rides. I emailed them stating that I think the word OVERKILL is a good name to replace the derogatory RAT term.:mad:

Here`s my 472 in my 37 Ford. To make the exhaust headers I bought 3/8" flanges for the Caddy, then adapted big block Ford sprint car headers, flipped upsidedown to the flanges.:D

I think it`s an aftermarket cast grill to fit a 41 Ford:D

RRG, winter is a comin` time to get it back in the shop and ready for next spring.;) Should be easy to finish it up now. "Ol Black betty ramalam"[cl

Haven`t been on here in a couple weeks. Just noticed your response Sarge. All the hoses appear to be OK.With the cooler weather in our area she runs cooler (abt 200 deg). The last time I had it out and it started to get hot, (temp outside abt 80deg.)I removed the cover over the radiator.The...

Well, IT OVERHEATED AGAIN!! The same hill as the last time it overheated:mad::confused: My next trial will be a thicker/larger radiator:confused: Maybe back to the expansion tank with a higher pressure cap:confused:Any other ideas out there?:rolleyes:

Thanks ZZ,BTW been following your 34 Caddy build,that thing is sweet!![P[clWaiting for the latest pix. It`s gotta be nearly done by now.

ZZ, to see my build pix go to KB and look at "under $3000 club", My 37 Ford[P

ZZ,The only pix I have showing my hookup is on the 8/12 post. This engine is the 472 from a `69 Coupe Deville. The heater hose conn was where I have the small conn. just below the thermostat. The hose conn to the head,you mentioned,was like that on my on my 425.I truly believe there was...

Well, This thing seems to be real tempermental:confused: Today I drove it about 18 miles to show some fellow motorheads my creation. Before I left I checked the level in the overflow. It was empty, so I overfilled it thinking I would possibly compensate for a little leak in my bleeder valve. I...

Well, I think I now know why the guy at the swap meet was selling that "expansion" tank. The filler neck wont seal. I tried putting a spacer washer in the filler(on the tank)I could feel that the rubber seal was seating on something because it took more effort to push the cap down to then turn...

NEW ISSUE..........:rolleyes:My "expansion tank" will not hold pressure especially when it`s cold. The tank itself is good,it blows by the rad cap like it`s not sealing. I changed the cap and measured the distance to the cap seat and it`s the same as any radiator.I have it plumbed direct to the...

Well she runs GREAT![cl i TOOK HER FOR A COUPLE "SHAKE DOWN" RUNS.No issues. Today while backing into my brother`s shop I hit one of his racecar trailers with the sidewall of my BFG www destroying it. Anyone have a BFG www they want to sell? The problem is they no longer produce 285 70 15`s:mad:

That engine IS HUUUUUGE! supposed to have 275-300 hp and 500 ftlbs torque stock:eek:

Well, I didn`t take it for a road test yet. I have a couple new issues.:mad: first I discovered a rust hole in my oil pan that leaks at 1 drop abt. every 5 seconds(too much)also my brake pedal will not fully return keeping the brake lights on.[S I installed a brake booster during the 472 work...

WOOHOO! TODAY SHE RUNS. [cl I fired it up today and she has 45psi oil pressure. I also ran it long enough to get it up to operating temp and so far everything seems to be OK.:) Tomorrow I`ll take it for a road test and take some pix in the daylight.

OK, Here she is as of this AM.I still have to complete hooking up the expansion tank on the cooling system. Pix are a little dark, I`ll take more when I get her running.:D

OK here she is ready to go in.I dont have the carb and manifold on yet. I`ll put it on after I install it.I painted the manifold silver like the oil pan.:D

I`m going to take some tomorrow[P
