348 Master Deluxe from Central Texas

[348 Master Deluxe]

Thanks for the add, all y'all.
I have a 1939 Chevy 2 door sedan.
Just found a 1958 348 (after DECADES of looking) to top off the build.
Hope to get it in place this weekend in order to start the myriad little tasks.
MANY questions to follow.

Welcome! Looking forward to helping you think we are all a little crazy because to own one of these engines will make you a little nuts sometimes. LOL!

Welcome. Looks to be a Fun project.

Was hoping to get it set and fired last night.
Not so much.
Dang limo was in the way.

 

[348 Master Deluxe]

W Head...
Letting me know how close you are may have been a bad idea.

 

[348 Master Deluxe]

And that generator with P/S may not even fit.
39s have the straight six pinched nose.

 

[Barry Taylor]

Great project! So has the car got the chevy engine and trans mounts in it already.

 

[boxerdog]

The generator won't even be close to working, I'd start looking at low-mount alternators, depending on what you do for front suspension and steering.

Barry Taylor.
Yes, I had it set up for a six pack SBC/TH350.

Engine in.

 

[409gang]

Progress!!!

That should make that Ol Chevy scoot pretty good, nothing better than torque to get all that steel moving.
