Been a little while, but I was able to get the block to the machinist to correct the lifter bore situation. He said they had to chamfer the bottom...

Not too much to report. I have been dealing with stuff for the garage. But also, between having tons of problems with cars at the shop, an issue...
Not exactly a roadster update, but the roadster will live here soon. I finally got my new shop structure up! There is still alot of work to do...
I've been slowly assembling the engine on my lunch breaks. It's slow going, but I'm chugging along. I got my crank installed and all my bearing...
I'm slowly assembling my engine on my lunch breaks. I put the heads on and I was going to put on the rocker assemblies, so I could measure for...
Egge lets me put a set of those in the cart. It doesn't say if they are in stock or not. Maybe check with them? Caddy Daddy says they will be...
Another small update. I forgot to post when I picked up the rocker assemblies, but I picked them up the other day. Today we sprayed Cerakote on...
Yes, for a 331. I guess I assumed that Schneider made them, but I'm not sure. Maybe give them a call.
I got new lifters with my cam from Schneider.
I'm going to try and check out some dimesions this week, But I was hoping some one around here has done this before. I saw that @RaygunUK...
I've seen talk about using a modern harmonic balancer on these Cadillac's, but haven't seen any info about it. So, who has some info about...
I couldn't tell you. I've never built a wood framed building either. I don't think it's that it was hard, I think in addition to it just being...
I want this garage done, but I'm not overlooking those small steps. The fact that my Dad came out and worked on this with me is not lost on me...
I've got a small update. As I stated in post 160, my Dad was coming out in the beginning of March to help me with the garage build. He came in...
Not too far from me. May have to go check it out.
Funny how this thread about "America's most beautiful roadster" seems to be mostly about Coby's coupe, but I digress. I have heard that there are...

Does anyone have a spare 331 oil pump they would be willing to part with? Or know where I can find one? It's '49 if it matters. No problem if it...
I looked through my photos. Since there was a long gap in the build of this car, and I didn't do any sheetmetal work on this car, my photos are...
You are correct, I know the car well. I know I have some build photos around. I'll try to dig some up.
Just a small update. I received my pistons back in November and dropped them off at the machinists. While I was out of town for Christmas, I...
My situation was a little bit different because I already had a radiator. I had a Walker radiator set up for a flathead. Since it was a good...
So this is what I've come up with. It is still untested, but I don't see why it shouldn't work. As I've stated before, I know next to nothing...
I know absolutely nothing about car audio, but am working on a system for the F100 I'm working on right now. I am doing a bit of a unique setup...
