Cadillac 331 in a Ford

Hey Mike, add a picture of your blue Coe for an avatar. Then create some albums in your User CP "photos and albums" and upload pictures of some of your big iron. I am sure guys here would love to see your 39 too.
 
Thanks to all that replied!
I am looking for the front bearing retainer for a Cadillac Laselle transmission. Also hub
that holds throw out bearing and clutch arm. Any leads appreciated.
 
My former 39 Ford Coupe had a 331 Cadillac backed by a 1937 LaSalle floor shift 3 speed transmission. Here is a picture of the motor mounts in place. Sorry - do not recall what manufacture they were.

There is a fellow on H.A.M.B. that Cad stick trans is all he does. Search there - Cad Lasalle Newc
 
A friend of mine did this '39 coupe and I will say, he did a good job. No shortcuts...

I do not enter very often. I bought a pair for a Cad install in my 26 Ford coupe. If I remember correctly I looked under Hot Rod or Ra$ Rod Cadillac engine mounts. Very seldom
do you find a Hurst set. Good luck

Just sent my early 51 and 52 Cadillac distributors to Charles Schwindler in New York. He is going to modify/update them with later fly weights and vacuum advance to use manifold vacuum. I will try to post some photos when I get them back.

Did you find your bell housing to do the install ? Years ago I bought one believing it would fit my '52 engine , but it may be for the later engine that you have . I'm still looking for an early style adapter . Maybe we could trade ?

When I was first on the H.A.M.B., I saw a link to "Belmont's" site. At that time, they had the entire Offenhauser catalog on it. Turned out that it was just for reference only, but it drove me crazy for a while, because just about any Internet search for old speed equipment ended up there. They had none of the old stuff.

I haven't been led that far astray since a certain stripper back in '92.:D

What is the H.A.M.B.? I have seen a reference to it several times, but I am clueless.
