Coulld I have some sidevalve schooling please

Thanks for your interest. Work has started! Body is off, chassis blasted etc. Its not going to be a resto more a 50s style rod with newer side valve, 39 box, juice brakes etc all reversible. Hope to run it fenderless some of the time but its not really allowed down here :( Will try and post pics soon.

Nice car ,Like Lauri I like that old 21 stud pump in head ,the LB block Nov 35 ,basically its the same engine as 37 except the pumps in heads that can be up graded . If its a res-to rod then most people will go for a 91A or later block because of the availability of dress up stuff , but its your call .

great start....is the frame square??....from the pic, it looks like the rear from the back of the x-member is tweaked, but probably pic perspective....looks like you're having fun....looking forward to more pics of the build....Mike
 
I had a 33-5Wwith the B engine.I installed a stock C59A with 39-48 gears in a later case with the 39 or 39-52 shift tower,also had to use the longer V8 DS assyhooked to a modified Columbia rearend.With 4.11 & 2.94 ratios,it ran great & would pull most hills in OD with no sweat.I didnt feel there was any need for any extra power at all.
