Thanks James for your offer, have send you a PM.

Thanks boy`s now I have a lot of informations about a good BBQ and I am glad to know all this before we start the trip. The beer is a Thing for it self, I live in the Country of beer and I think the best you can drink is here in Germany and our beer is absolutely clean . The page The Day Tripper is very good to see some story`s about several town`s from Texas, very helpfull for us. Think we will do a trip to Fredericksburg, this is a town from German emigrants and there is a brewery, hope with good beer and if not maybe we drink shots .

Very nice, thanks for the pic`s and congratulations!! It`s a good Feeling beat the Ford Flatty`s, we "fight" the same fight here in Germany and it`s a big fun for all .

Hey Mark thanks for this, I will look at these sites and see what happens. Wish you all the best!!

Hey Brian thank you for this informations, an original amerikan barbecue is a must have in our holidays and we will take this offer in Temple. I see you have a lot of project cars and one thing I visit Texas is to look for a Dodge Pickup with short wheelbase and a heavy rear end to put my flathead 8 in it for our german races. If you sale one of yours, let me know, than I visit you with some cash , or you know someone who sales a Dodge Pickup. Whats with Houston, is it not a good destination??

Hello All, sorry this is not a post for my car, but I will advise you that I have a trip in Texas from the 27.Sept. - 07.Okt. and it`s the first time for me and my wife in the USA and a long dream come true. Are there any meetings in this time in the Texas area for a Mopar Freak? We will drive from Dallas via Waco-Austin-San Antonio-Houston and back to Dallas. Hope you can tell me some activitys! Thanks and Regards Dirk

You put a 383 Big Block in a 41` Dodge Coupe.., everybody has his madness , but here are pics for you

...yes I have take out the fluid drive for a better performance and now I have a regular clutch, 3 speed and bellhousing. I have the fluid drive and its not the problem build it back in the car, I also have another complet fluid drive from my 1949 Chrysler New Yorker parts car and if there where not 5000 or more miles between us, I would give it to you....

Thanks John, the Studebaker is waiting for my time, it is the next resto projekt I hope in this summer. I will do a 1956 Studebaker V8 289cui in this 1936 Stude and hope he will look like the last pics from a ready resto There is only a little rust hole in the panels behind the doors left and right, all the rest is surface rust

Aah, I understand, Tanks!!!

Thank you all for answer, now I have found the 3.54 in a parts book and will show my axle tomorrow. My Chrysler has from stock the fluid drive, but last year I have build in a 46 Plymouth manual 3 speed, and have post in this forum, but can not find it again. The 3 speed works well, and I can drive 65 miles ever, but this is not my favorit to drive on highway, 50-55 miles in town or over the country is ok for me and better more performance in the first gear. This is my problem, have big wheels and a engine with a 2 carb Edmunds intake and last year one axle was brocken in the differential. Now I will buy better axles but do not know is this a 8 3/4 or 8 1/4 in my Chrysler and wich ratio because I will have a little slower ratio. What is a hoghead?? Dirk

Hello, can anybody say to me what axle I have in my car and what is the stock gear ratio in the rear axle. I will get another ratio in the axle but first must know wich is the stock. Thanks Dirk
