Re: 42 Crosley
pictures would be good, a 4 cyl swap into a pre-war is interesting. BTW, is that your famous orange '71?

Re: 42 Crosley
Bob, I think a picture or 2 is a good start . One of the car overall, engine compartment, and interior including the dash would be a good start. Location is important and anything you know about

Re: For Sale: CoBra Tin Block - CT - $250
Well, although the Tin Blocks, were probably not designed to be bored, I know that they can be, kind of.
I bored one, my first and last! Since the cylinders are steel, rather that cast

Re: For Sale: CoBra Tin Block - CT - $250
Neat! Hadn’t occurred to me that the factory rebuilt the tin blocks. I suppose they did this before they came up with the CIBA replacements.
Neat engine, especially if it runs.

Always thought "short block" meant "without the head(s), therefore not applicable to Crosleys and Offies!

Re: Help identifying new project
Only thing definite is Crosley motor and I'll be looking for a builder next year. Probably 4-speed transmission.It has the Topolino differential which was driven by a torque tube like Crosley but I

Re: Help identifying new project
Some clues in both directions especially the work on the grill and its fitment. Not sure there's a chance of getting much history/ The hot rod idea is fun but right no it's headed to be a race car.

Re: Help identifying new project
You're right... and my bad! The seller has had the project for 6 years and thought ne might convert it to Spridget so he collected some parts over the years and stored them in the footwell. They don't

Re: Help identifying new project
I would sooner believe it was to be some sort of little fun car, maybe a speedster or such. H Mod were required to have at least one operating door and carry a spare tire. It would be fun to restore

Re: Help identifying new project
The carbs appear to be "HS2" SUs (2x 1.25") off a British 1275cc Sprite or Midget. H1 are 1.125 inch used on the smaller 948cc engine and would be a more likely candidate in my opinion if a Crosley
