howdy all just thought i would jump in here and say hello i'am building a 1952 henry j gasser style with a sbc 350 or 383 i dont know yet i have a speedway straight axle up frount with a 9 inch in the rear i will try to get some pics up as i go along and get the time thanks scott
Welcome,,,and those cars are great gasser cars. But be warned,this site has some guys that are big block only and others like myself that are 'nostalgic' small block lovers:) SOOOO,let me be the first to ask,why not a 327 in that Henry j?:LOL:
Welcome to the forum Scott. Love them Henry J gassers. For me they rank right up there with the Willys for coolness.
Yeah, we want pictures. :D :D
Don
why not an old oldsmobile powerplant :D
How about a 500 Cadillac?only weighs 40lbs more than a SBC,no comparison in torque either.:3dSMILE:
maybe its just cause i like to rev past 1500 rpm's :LOL:
I personally wouldn't care if you put in a honda vtec,it's your car. Just take your time and build it safe. Good luck to you . Hank
Welcome to CHR, friend of mine ran a similar car back in the mid 60's, set up was similar to yours, but had an FE with a top loader for power. Good luck with the project and get those pics posted, really anxious to show them to my old pal Steve so he can suffer with some extreme nostalgic thoughts!!!!!:LOL: :LOL: :LOL: The chebbie would work fine in it, especially if you already have one!!!
WOW! Now that's different!!!!
This is a '51.
wow i wasnt expecting all the worm welcomes the reason for the 350 is i have sevral of them laying around if i had the money i would love to play with a big block but thay are getting hard to find and well right now iam just trying to get the car built and maybe down the road i will put somthing else in it i dont have a 327 so thats why the 350 for now and thay all preaty much look the same for the most part i could tell everybody its a 283/327 most would not know so for the biggest part just playing with what i have till i get the car built and the bugs worked out and i can save some more money to play with thanks scott
Welcome to the forum and as it's been said, post pictures when you get the opportunity.
Also, this weekend is the big swap meet in Springfield and you're not that far away. Just might find something for your build. :)
