If the 4inchers are too small. What is proper size and how does one determine that?Would these Edmund's be too small?

I used these cheapo ones, but would like to find a better look

Hi Timmy If you can stop a few hours Short of Billings. I would recommend you stop in Livingston MT. Cool old railroad town. Stay at the iconic hotel Murray. Great brewery, great food there in town. Claw foot tubs and big old beds in the hotel. Train whisles in the night.... Romance! It's pricey, but worth the experience. There's my 2 cents ✌️I hope you enjoy the trip. Tom

I look forward to seeing it with the George Asche triple carb intake. You're going to have to wear sunglasses every time you open the hood ???

I'm not sure where you're getting 45 from. My '47 will do 60 quite smoothly and 65 and up when I choose. There are also overdrive options and axle/ gearing swaps that will make the car match our modern highway speeds. Make him an offer!

I have two 218's and one 265 and I would snatch that one up in a heartbeat. These engines and parts will only get rarer.

I used to do a lot of hiking. I've seen many rattlesnakes. Timber Rattlers and diamonds. Beautiful creatures. My favorite encounter was a fairly rare pink rattlesnake in the Grand Canyon. Having said that, I would shoot the MFrs if they were in my yard.

Unbolt the drive shaft. It's a 10 minute job and will save you the worry about damage. IMHO

Last weekend I talked my wife into visiting the USS Hornet. Retired aircraft carrier in Alameda CA. It picked up the returning Apollo 11 capsule. Am amazing view of what life is like aboard a carrier as well as the Apollo artifacts.

I've pulled a half dozen so far and (knock on wood) so far have pulled all without them falling to pieces. I fish a piece of bailing wire through the top hole( which is a quarter inch or so inside the top of the tube) I attached the wire to a slide hammer, which creates a jolt to loosen it up. I've heard the horror stories of others fishing out in pieces. Hopefully this is not you're case. Attached is what I wish for you. The engine was rebuilt in ' 78. I pulled it out a couple of years ago. I wiped it off and it shined like a new penny!

A brush guard. Maybe you can bring it as "carry on" on your next flight out here. ?

Love it!

You can see the long screwdriver rod that I put into the drill chuck. Worked well.

I would start with Terrill machine out of Texas ( once you find your piston size from wherever you're getting your machining done). Whatever he doesn't have, I would get from Egge out of SoCal. They can also grind your cam. I say Terrill Machine first is because he is cheeper and will mail the next day. Egge sometime sources there parts and takes longer. I bought my valves and guides from Terrill.

I ground them down.

The cost of shipping would be ridiculous. Thanks for the offer ?

I'm liking Kris's viser and brush guard. That would look nice on my old tin can. (Your truck looks nice, as always Merl ?)

Today is the 50 the anniversary. I've been reading and listening to the amazing stories of the Apollo missions and all the engineering that led up to them. I'm curious to your memories of this signature event. ( I was not born yet ?)

With a shop manual, the information on this forum and a few special tools....you got this. Do it! The hell with that engine shop.

What do they say...a bird in the hand. I think many guys would jump at that car as a starting out point. You've got a car that's been in the family and that could stay in the family with a little time and money. It looks to be in pretty good shape. Buy the proper books and do the research on this forum and you will find that it will not be an expensive proposition to put this car back on the road. Time is what you make of it. Time working on and old car is time well spent. Especially with fathers or your own kids. Keep it. You'll be happy on the long run that you did.

What is this part supposed to do? - Electrical.

Is it the headlight terminal? Maybe just mounted farther back in the engine bay?
