you bet he would , had i not finally threatened to leave the day i bought it he would still be upping the price on me . he knew i wanted it and i suck at poker so he had me !!
so i finally picked up the motor i made a deal on a few weeks back . its a 41 59A motor with original early edelbrock heads and an original early eddie meyer slingshot intake and fuel block !! it was recently rebuilt with less than 500 miles on it and parked in his damp garage where every fastener on the car and the engine rusted. it has an alternator and new dual point distributor . i'm gonna clean it up and paint it black , i can't stand red !!!! the guy i got it from was just given the car (31 chopped tudor sedan) by his father who has lost his vision and can't drive , and the son is putting a 302 roller ford motor in it with a 4spd and a 9" rear. i did some horse trading and ended up having a little more into it than i wanted to but i have seen the intakes alone sell for 1500 ish .so i am not in it too deep just higher than i planned . he threw in a repop beehive oil filter ............ i may look into a bracket to put a generator or look alike alt/generator on it and just make it look nicer , i think it will look good in the all gloss black chassis once i get to that point and even though i am running a hood top and sides on this car i am stoked to have an original eddie meyer intake on it !!!

Love it--the first car my parents owned was a '33 5 window coupe.

I am going to put a Columbia in my 33 next week. I have been going to put it in for the last couple of years. My wife cousin going to help me. That will make it a nice car to drive. Would like to put a nice 48 Merc. engine with a 39 ******. Just can't get up the nerve to do that.

That's what I did with my 35 three window - 48 59AB with a 39 tansmission and a Columbia rear - perfect combo for very rewarding driving experience while retain the classic stock look.
