I am located in Lakewood Ohio just 10 minutes West of Cleveland. I’d like to sell it as one piece. Here are the pics from my yard. It was under a roof but stored outside. CD Rolling Chassis with 9" Br

Actually, it might be valuable to sell and fund replacement. But as much as possible I want to complete it and really want to use the Topo wheels.

The tin block engines had the adjustment slot for the fan in the block instead of the fan bracket. Not easily used on a cast iron block.

When I pulled the engine in our 48 wagon for new bearings & ground crank, I noticed that the fan blades had been welded in the past, I assume because of cracks. I wasn't pleased with this so picked up

I'm restoring a '47 Pickup. I would like that input as well. I'm also putting a dual exhaust system on the truck. Luckily the body is off, or I'd never get in installed. Bought a bunch of 1-1/2" tail

Have a 60's project that came with a Crosley block and Fiat Topolino rearend. I believe quite a few H Mods ran the rear and I wonder how much power it can support. I spoke with the shop that is restor

I will let you know how it goes. After running the engine for a few hours, no problems. My temperature gauge shows the block running under 200 F. Do you have a better recommendation for sealant? Sent
