kekaha988 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Far from being a dead subject long passed or OP (what ever that means) racing, adding into a car a bigger engine where a smaller one is. That goes back to when 2 men looked at each other at anyplace the first race was on. Then they went out put in bigger whatever the next race was again. I learned from my dad and the family 57 Chevrolet station wagon with 3 on the tree. I watch him change the brakes pack the wheel bearing and more. When I got back from Vietnam in 66 I drove the family VW. A few days later I went pass the junk yard there sat a 57 2 door sedan Bel Air, a true Bel Air with all the stainless steel trim and a straight as can be. It had no engine no trans and no pumpkin. With the separation money given to me from the Army. I was the new owner of a black 57 Bel Air 283 power pak heads Duntov 30-30 cam a Rochester 4 barrel and a T10 transmission. A year later it was running a 396 Sig cam 550 lift a Muncie M-22 and a 9 inch with 4.56 gearing. Did not get you anyplace fast it was hell stop light to stop light. As soon as management gets back to me about up-loading pictures I will up-load the install. The final plan is LSX 427 Doug Nash 5 speed and an up graded 9 inch. Automatics and air condition are for sissies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husky410ohio Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 This is my fuel tank sending unit. I removed the fuel pump and made a pick-up tube with a fuel strainer I purchased. I used a 1/8" pipe tap and plugged the old return line. Fuel float works with a new auto meter fuel gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final plan is LSX 427 Doug Nash 5 speed and an up graded 9 inch. The "management" has nothing to do with posting pictures in threads. You need to upload your pics to Facebook, Photobucket, Flickr or any other picture hosting site you choose. You can follow the instructions in the link below for more guidance. http://comancheclub.com/topic/37727-how-to-post-pictures/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 In 1951 I helped my uncle swap a Ford flat head into a 1944 MB. Been swapping engines into Jeeps ever since. At first he was going to use Chevy 6 but couldn't make up his mind whether to cut a hole in the firewall or in the grill for the extra foot of engine to hang out so he went with the Ford. I am not a Ford man but have always preferred small block Fords because of their size, weight as compared to a Chevy.In my personnel opinion, the best combination Jeep ever came out with was when they used the Buick engines, 225 V6, 350 and 401 V8'S. In 1970 I crammed a Lycoming 360A1 into a '55 CJ. It was NOT a roadworthy machine, meant strictly for the drag strip. No matter what engine you decide to go with, the key to a successful swap is careful planning. and a little common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
