Norwegian bellytank projekt.

Jan,

Cool tank project.  I too like the cool factor of the Pontiac cammer, but agree the Toyota will make a bunch more HP...  Either choice it looks like a cool project.

Good luck

What ever you put in it for power it is going to be TIGHT!!! That is a pretty small package to get all of the required "parts" and a driver into. Your build is going to be fun to watch. Keep us posted!!!!

I would check that MAS axel out. Mine had to have considerable straightening. However was a  6"dropped
one. King pin inclination was not the same side to side and one side was 1/2" adhead of the other.

if you  put a new axel in a car before the car and parts are painted or powder coated the car should be taken to a front end alignment shop and have the axel tweeked until every thing is right then disassemble for paint -----------------------------willie buchta

sometimes its better to go to a truck alignment shop they are more familiar with solid axels

Looking good there Jan, nice fab work. Did you make an engine decision yet??  Sid.

Jan, what's the car in your avatar?  Looks like a late-40's Pontiac "fastback".  I'd like a full-size photo of it -- since a '48 Pontiac was the first car I spent lots of time working on, driving, even learning how to build a straight-8 engine.  Have you a good photo?  Thanks.

[jk hotrods]

It is my 1948 chevy. 

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Well, I was close -- Chevy and Pontiac were very close back then.  Thanks for the big photo -- I'm going to send it to my dad as a reminder of the cars we used to have.  No flame jobs on ours, though. . .

Hey Jan, good on you mate for going with the Jimmy engine. Don't need no stinkin jap junk engine in a nostalgia tank, I don't give a rats hinie how fast they are!

[wobblywalrus]

That car looks familiar.  Then I remember that my mother had one when I was a little child.  It was light green without the flames.  Those cars have a lot of room inside.  Its nice to see one on the road and looking good.
