moparmonkey Posted December 6, 2010 Report Posted December 6, 2010 Second brake light was optional on these trucks! Some of them must have had one. Standard was only one though. Definitely right about the Hemi, they're pricey no matter which route you go. Rebuilding one is a hefty chunk of change. Finding an original that runs well is a challenge, and isn't cheap either. And, the problem with a factory build is that some of the early hemi's weren't super impressive from the factory, a lot of them had 7:1 compression ratio's (not the 392's though, those were later). A 318 would fit better, and have the added bonus of being able to buy parts from the local parts house. A big plus if you want to drive it a decent amount, or travel any distance from home. Quote
herpoppy Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 How difficult is the Volare front end swap? Any other suggestions other than the Mustang II? I am working on a 49 truck. Thanks for any help. Quote
48Dodger Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 "Difficult" depends on your level of expertise in automotive skills. Here's a few old threads on how I did it. Volare Front End Experiment Bonneville Experiment 48D Quote
