That sounds fantastic! Love the video!


Where did you get the engine stand adapter? It looks very handy.
Also a question unrelated to your motor, What paint / coating did you use on your chassis?

I got the flathead engine stand adapter from Stumpy's Fab Works. You will want an FFESA-S85 for an 8BA or 59 block.

I sandblasted the frame and painted it with Eastwood Black Frame paint. I didn't buy aerosol cans, I bought a quart and sprayed it with a gun. I painted the axels and springs separately. Then put them on. It was about 20 years ago when I started this project. Then I got married and the whole thing came to halt. She sat in my grandmothers garage until last winter after I found myself divorced and started it again. I assume Eastwood still sells it by the quart, but I haven't looked.

I think you mean Chassis Black? Yes, they still sell it, wonderful stuff!

 

Any updates on this build?

Kirk,

This was just my engine build. My truck build thread is here:
