i need to add my 65 bel rag i'm picking up in a couple weeks in mich . its been stored in a garage last 40 plus years . real solid body on this car . it was a 273 car , now its getting a 383 or 440 .

So I have been playin' with my beater and made a few adjustments.
That caused more adjustments to be made to correct the first adjustments.
Nothing bad just pinion angle as now it has a good vibration(Well not a GOOD vibration but you know what I mean)
I tried to make TOOLMANMIKE a video of it running so he can hear the cam but after trying I failed..Several times.
I did get a video of the front tire somehow. I now know that I suck worse with a video camera than I do with computer stuff,but not by much.Got my gasser scoop on.Different wheels and tires.Installed a 742 with 4.10's and a Chrysler clutch sure grip.Up graded the 63 8 3/4'' with a set of Moser axles and long studs. Did the long studs on the front drums (drums all round) Anyway here are a few photos

Just my humble opinion, but.... there has never been a better looking wheel than grey american torq thrusts. Show me any car they dont look great on!

I did add the front center caps after re-torquing the lug nuts.Gotta leave the Moser Axles showing in the rear.
I have bigger tires for the rear too.Gonna be a bit before I can get back to it.
Just ordered my axle wedge shims.
Oh well, something to look forward to !

Yep. those are nice. They still make that style.

 

[POMONAMISSEL]

yes , but in the 4''bc pattern , these are cast just for that 4'' bc pattern by american racing equip back in the late 60's . note the rear of the carting of the mounting hub .

I think that appraiser was smoking something when he valued Sonny's car! He Probably needs to spend more time out in the real world looking at potential purchase cars and all the botched restos so that he realizes a good one when he sees it.

Been working on my 63 Sport Fury lately. Put in a 400 as a temporary motor till I get a new one built for it. Dont know whether to build a 383 or 413 for it. I have both motors but both need rebuilding. I like the way 383 revs but a 413 would be cool too.

I would be happy with either one. Hell, I'd be happy with a 273 or a Poly.

I'd put a stroker kit in the 383, to 496, then tell everybody its a 361.

 

[nitrojunkie]

Nice! How do you like the 360? I wouldn't be afraid if a 273 or Poly. It doesn't need a wedge to be fun.
