Probably restored and sold 6 or seven. He would buy them in the southeast, restore them and sell them for big profit in the northeast. He gave my oldest sister and younger brother each one on the HS graduation. I got a 69 Camaro. Nice ride Amigo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I love the '57 Fords, Big Sage. But doesn't yours leak a lot of oil with the valve covers missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 302 block with 347 strocker crank and a set of Australian 302 Cleveland heads. Basically a 347 boss. 410 horse from a small block ford with iron heads and 9.5 compression.

Blackwater 53393 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I got several toys!! The rat rod is a '28 A Model with a 153" Chevy Nova engine, 700R4 transmission, a 9" Ford rear end, and a '48 Ford front end, a reversed Corvair steering box, and a Chevy Astro tilt wheel and steering column. I built the header and the tubular ram intake myself. There's a Caddy CRST radiator in the trunk. This one is built from scratch and I fabricated almost EVERYTHING myself. The scooter is my 1979 HD that is fully customized. '47 offset springer front end, 80 spoke wire wheels, 92" Delkron shovel head and a six speed transmission. Lots of custom fabrication. The fat boy on the bike is me!!! The cab-over is my current project. It's a 1960 Jeep FC 170 one ton pickup. It has a Chevy dually rear end, 1 ton Dana 44 front axle, 4L60 E transmission and I'm building a .030 over Chevy 400 small block with LT4 fuel injection, Racing Head Service cast iron Vortec heads, Comp Cams roller cam and valve train components, Eagle 6.10" rods, and an Eagle internally balanced crankshaft. We're figuring around 550+ horsepower and around the same numbers on torque. OH! YEAH! It's gonna' be a flatbed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the original 289 and the replacement 351. There is a difference in size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubby always has a reason I shouldn't. Our road got washed out last winter and is still pretty bad is almost a good excuse. I am in a state of absolute, total envy. This is the car that made me notice cars as a boy. It is the car we all wanted but could not afford. It is the car I wanted to use for dates, to cruise Main St. on Saturday night, and to street race on Friday nights. Jan and Dean and the Beach Boys sang her songs, and we were in Heaven. She is the stuff that dreams were made of. Fifty years have gone by, but if anything, the attraction has grown only stronger. Allie Mo, you are one very lucky lady! And no offense to Mr. Mo...but DRIVE that baby; it is a vehicular sin to let her sit. When you are ready to pass her on to a new owner, PLEASE call.

Chili Ron Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Howdy, Ive known many folks who owned such nice cars that didn't run. It is a crime as most of the time the car sits and just get worse and worser. I say drive em at least a FEW times a year or sell em. A friend had a ford lotus rally car. It didn't run. Finally he had to move and the car was quickly sold without getting a bid from me. THEN it got fixed a bit and a guy heard about it and a fella with the last name Ford bought it. Don't know after that. I sure would have liked that ride. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Mark Flint #31954 LIFE Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 So here is one of my toys. Tires are bigger now (they grew up) Car sits lower. Details are numerous and unlikely to be posted here. Did lots of work myself and a fair bit more with Blackwater scowling over my shoulder.
