New Engine For Roadster

3quarter32 · 02-07-2015, 10:07 PM

I have had this roadster for about 3+ years and really never drive it. It has a 60hp flathead V8 engine with a T5 tranny. Kind of fun neighborhood car, but not to practical for street use or any distance. I am going to upgrade to a 153 4 cylinder with a powerglide. My wife wants to drive it to some of the local shows, so it just don't sit in the shop all the time. By the way, this is a 3/4 scale roadster, so space is a premium. BC has seen this car at my shop.
So here is the new power plant to be installed after the Starbird show in a couple of weeks.
