My 38 Coupe, with an engine from a 36, had the starter pedal on the floor. I bought a 56 engine that had a 54 starter with no solenoid that I added a wall mount solenoid so as to start with a start button. Worked great, but I later found a 12 volt 56 started to replace the 54....

I used a 56 starter on my 36 engine, and I could use the my 36, 37, 38 starter on my 56 engine... There was a change in the 57 as to the length to engage the starter. With your 53 bell, you may have to use a 56 starter...

I went with a borrowed GPS unit to test my 38 Coupe. My speedo was faster than the GPS at slow MPH , and the speedo was slower at higher MPH... I believe since I lubed the speedo cable, numbers may be more accurate...

It is hilly here in southwest Virginia. My 38 Coupe does very well in the curvy hilly areas. The 5 speed makes a lot of difference compared to the three speeds I hade used before. The 3.73 is better than the 3.9 I had before. I believe a 3.5 would be a better option for my Coupe....

Your 37 project looks in better shape than what I started with. I have a 98 Jeep, inline 6, 2 wheel drive, auto trans,I would like to install in this project. My 38 Coupe has a 36 or 37 engine, 5 speed Ranger trans, easy to drive. Bob..

On my 48 Dodge, I used a Ford MC running a rod through the original MC, worked good.

I have a bench seat in my coupe. The shifter on the TK5 5 speed is at the rear of the trans, so I did a little bending on the shifter, and added a piece of steel tubing, works great....

In my 38 Coupe with a 36 or 37 engine, I am running a 12 volt MDF 6007 starter from a 1956 engine. Before that I was running a 6 volt that was listed as from a 1954 model car. I believe the 57 and up starters are a little different that the 56 year.

This is the two barrel intake from my 56 engine.

I made my exhaust from straight pipes, no muffler. Painted exhaust before install. At about 80hp, not too loud for short trips. On a 4 hour rod run, I discovered, I need a muffler...

I installed a Ford Ranger 5 speed trans in my 38 a few years ago. No adapter needed on the 38 bell housing. Has done very good with a 3.73 rearend, but I think would do better with a 3.55 rear.

These photos were posted on a different thread, for a 36 Plymouth, bolt on, no adapter. The caliper looks to be Volvo. I have not found anyway it could be bolted on without an adapter...

I ran rain water through, and drained several times during the summer. Before cold weather, I flushed one more time, and added all antifreeze, no water. The all antifreeze has been in about 4 years now. I will drain it this year, and see the condition of rust or not....

I cut some bad sections of flooring where the foot area is, and did not have to go under the seat area. The only bracket I had to install, was the blue piece. I made the push rod longer also..... The new Mustang II MC worked great....
