Rat Rod project

I have always wanted to look into doing a rod like that and put the radiator in the back with fans. When you drive down the road oncoming traffic would see that rad motor. What a wow factor. Think it would work ?

Caleb,

Great looking project.

I am currently looking at a 1957. Cadillac Fleetwood. I am on the fence with going for a complete resto or do a rat rod. I may need an engine like yours. If you could please give some specs on your project.

Thanks
Nick

That a real beauty!! brings back the memories.....I had a 64 f-85, made it into a 442 clone in 1977....my dad bought it from me and kept it until 1990.

Caleb , what does the vin number start with? That is a 66 trunk deck or I will eat it. By 67 they quit offering them for rent as all the motors got stolen out of them or drag raced to death.

 

[Witchhunter]

Have had a few, this one is my current project. SS 454, 4 speed

 

[Caleb85]

Sorry john but I should have stated this...that car is a 67 but it is not a true H . It is a clone.

I'm going to be getting a new paint job and new motor/tranny for my 94 GMC Sierra SLE Single Cab 1500. A few years ago I had the 350 bored out to a 400. Now that that motor has had about 180k miles on it, I'm looking at putting a 383 stroker, new paint job, iron cross bumper, couple inches of lift and some lighting.

Got me reminiscing about rides that I owned years ago. 71 Malibu, 73 Nova SS, 63 Tempest Lemans (yes the car that was mentioned in "My Cousin Vinnie" and led to the GTO), 73 Ventura Sprint. I found the 63 in 1982, picked it up for $200. It no longer had the original 326, but had a 69 455 installed. I was working at a Pontiac dealer at the time. One night leaving work, I stood on it. All the torque ripped the center hub out of the clutch disc.

Classic cars are as much fun and as much of a habit for me as guns. Here is a pic of my 69 XR7 Cougar Convertible,
Sorry for the two pics....

 

[SG4247]

1966 427/425 four speed, power windows, telescoping steering, originally a California car.

Mostly original.

Restoring the engine now.

 

[Mudcat]

Couple of my current rides:

1966 F-100, frame off resto, 460CI, C6 auto, front disc conversion, but still Twin I Beams. . Fast and loud.

1968 Mustang, original 289/C4 combo, original colors, inside and out, full resto.

1936 Chevy Sedan Standard. Original 307 straight 6, 3 speed, double clutchin's slow as molasses in winter turtle! I have had this car for about 25 yrs, starting another restoration, so its current in progress, which is why its sitting on the lift.

(pic shot last winter when Dad and I were rebuilding the rear brakes)

Maybe not classic but I've got a studabaker truck with a narrowed Dana 70 5.13 gears and a 572 Merlin block sitting in. I'm waiting on heads to get here from
Texas. Then the top end. It's more of a expensive hobby than shooting... Been on it for two years
