Thanks guys I have had the intake for a pretty long time. On the early Hemi's there were some that had what I call wet heads. Another words they did not use the water manifold that bolts to the front of the heads, that also houses the thermostat housing. Instead they used a intake manifold...

You know Doc I was just a little scared of that .120 over motor. It actually came with a brand new set of pistons in it, and now I am in the process of screwing it back together. My plans for it are for it to be a spare motor for my Model A, but no blower. The pistons that came with it are Jahns...

Well it's getting closer. was hoping to fire it up Friday, but the Blower belt was just to short, so another week waiting on parts. Oh the life of a Hot Rodder...

Yea I like em too. They could a little more power than that 17hp they came with. That's an easy enough fix though...

This one is getting close, going in my little model A tudor.

bob w, Thank you man for those kind words, and thanks to everyone for the words as well. I truly do not have the skills I would like to. I am just old and have picked up a lot over the years, but I am self taught never had anyone to show me how to do this stuff. Over the years I have messed up a...

Depends on how close that critter is. Up close is one thing, if his out there a ways its a whole nuther deal.

KennyC, Yea I do like the bomber seats and I did think about that. Trouble is all of them seem to be fit for a size 7 1/2 butt, damn hard to fit my size 12 butt in them. Talking about seats, when I went to get these seats upholstered no one and I mean no one would do what I wanted. I wanted...

When I was looking for a Hemi, with I might add not much in the way of prospects. It was just plain funny how it worked out. First I find one not 30 miles away, I was completely prepared to drive as far as 1500 miles if need be. It was a craiglist add and had been posted for over 30 days as it...

Guys sorry but I just was not smart enough to take pictures during the build. Now with that said I am building the Hemi so how about some pictures of that? OK I will to answer my own question.

This topic doesn't get a lot of play here on the board, so I thought I would like to participate and maybe help it along a little. Two years ago I started a Model A build, I am a traditional guy and twelve years older than dirt so what other direction would I go? I started this project with a...

And that is the name of that game! Great idea Skip[cl

Was this in Decatur ? If it was do you have a time that these cruises go on?

Depends on what you are trying to do with this, or any other engine. If you are after the look of "A" Hemi then you can do a valve cover conversion and use a Small Block Chevy and you are done. Now if posing is not your goal and performance as well as good looks is the aim, the 5.7 modern Hemi...

If it gets to much for you just holler I will be happy to take it off of your hands. All kidding aside the early Hemis are a real kick. The truck engines were very close to the standard Chrysler Hemi installed in almost all Chrysler cars with a couple of exceptions. The were lower in compression...

Just got this little 33 Chevy. Couple of folks have asked me to do a build thread on the engine swap. Got this little sedan two weeks ago and it came with a Chevy 6 and a power glide tranny. Well that 6 turned out to be a 194" and to say that it was anemic would just not be a strong enough...

Crank, Thanks man that answered that question perfectly. The picture you show is just what I have, and your red Crayola area is what I am talking about. The gasket set I have is the same one you linked to and does in fact cover what the Intake Manifold doesn't. Thanks man! Crank you will also...

Guys I am doing a engine swap on a 1933 Chevy. I am swapping in a Big Block Chevy and have run into something I never had to deal with on Small Blocks. In the center of the heads there is a port ( for lack of a better word) that I am guessing is for transferring heat to the intake manifold. I...

Hey crank I can do that build thread thing. Thanks also for the 194" information, might just explain why this critter is so anemic. Plans were to go with a Big Block like a 396, that is what I would really like to do. However I don't have one of those laying around, and I do have a just built...

Guys thanks for the answers. I got this 33 in today and after taking a lot of measurements and looking at it all I am sure unsure of what I have. The thing that gets me is the 6 cyl engine that is in there now. It appears to be a modern 6 cyl, The problem I am having is there is a builders...
