Bad ride! What's it powered by, Hemi?

Waterfoul 09-08-2002 02:35 PM

Looks like a flathead to me.

ragtop409 09-08-2002 02:39 PM

I say 392? hemi DODGE

Gearhead99 09-08-2002 03:37 PM

Very Cool.

Looking great. Love all the carbs and the upsweep headers.

It's a Hemi Chrysler. Probably a 392.

Sorry to correct 409, but Dodge didn't make a 392, had the Red Ram engines.

loosecannon22 09-08-2002 04:33 PM

Right on, 1957 392 chrysler hemi, 6-71 weiand with 8 stromberg 2bbls, goes like hell. Oh yeah the body is a 1929 dodge cut 3 3/4 inches on original frame, boxed and shortened a foot, and I am not even a chrysler freak.
Sometimes you just go too far with things.

Looks great!!! I've always wondered what your Hot Rod looked like, pretty cool:cool: :cool: :cool: How's Lisa? Are you guys comming down for the OS Worlds?

Ron P 09-08-2002 07:47 PM

Is that street legal? Hot ****. Love the flames, but you could have used a gloss black paint.

loosecannon22 09-08-2002 08:00 PM

Hey Paul how are you and marsha??? Lisa and I are still having fun, we had a great time in the bahamas. About november in the keys,
I am going to try, we have a couple of weddings to go to and I hope that they dont interfere. I have yet to get lisa down there and I hear about it all the time. Jacksonville next weekend and then boatoberfest in oct. I am almost ready to come down for good and work for you, ya never know.


Ron P I tried to make it glossy, but the primer is a lauqer and when I put gloss in it, it blushed real bad. there is some though, just enough so you can wash it and it wont absorb it like a sponge and still has the late 50's look. Street legal? hell yeah! there is no inspection in sunny FLA. So as long as I dont get pulled over, I dont get any tickets!!

Billy,
That's one SWEEET RIDE!!! If you make down to the TIKI bar, you could ride that bad boy down!!
BTW, what is boatobterfest? Is that around Daytona? Is it a poker run?

loosecannon22 09-09-2002 06:54 PM

First off, no baffles, I have some from a harley but never put them in.
Dean, yes it is a heck of a good time poker run put on by florida powerboat club.. lots of great people too. we go from here to the conch house in st augie. and then have a good dinner and awards party. check out flpowerboat.com for details.
