Re: '58 (nash) rambler american family project

i thought we'd have a 'look' at the damaged o/s rear 1/4 to see if it's saveable. eerrrrrr........... that'll be a big fat no then. the arch doesn't matter as they'll be radiused anyway but above that going forward and almost back to the rear light the metal's just too stretched. it didn't help when...

Re: 318 .. 360 Engine ?

a 318 is cheaper to buy than a 360 and doesn't give up much displacement with the 4" stroker kit, 390 vs 408 with both at .030" over bore. also your sump, mounts etc are a direct swap with another 318 block whereas they're not with a 360 block.

Re: Aircon heater vent tube

it looks like the 'thin' one's been altered to fit to me. the 'fat' one looks unaltered for want of a better word. can't you alter it to match the other one?
