RW> JS> It would be nice to slide that J-2 into a nice '49 Olds coupe ....
RW> When I was a senior in high school, I had a 49 Olds business coupe.  That
RW>was the smallest sedan body that GM made.  The back seat was nothing more
RW>than an ornament.  Anyway, after graduation, I put a 53 engine and 37 La
RW>Salle tranny in it.
So you took out that weenie 303 inch motor and dropped in the "big" 324
incher ....     :-)
The business coupe was my favorite model ....
RW>One nite I was cruising the highway to nowhere when I was passed by a 
rand
RW>new 59 Plymouth Fury.  With nothing better to do, I creeped up on his 
il.
RW>passed him in 2nd gear at 120mph, honked when I was along side him and
RW>shifted into third...Those 2.70:1 gears in the diff sure gave that car a
RW>lot of top end.
Yup, the Olds coupe was pretty fast for it's time. In the 60's you just
dropped in a 394 and they were still fast (until the rat motor started
getting available ..... )
A guy I knew had a '50 coupe with a 394 and a Jimmy 4-71 blower, and a
stock hood .... !    ;-)
That car embarassed a lot of people ....
Today I'd like to drop in a 455 and a turbo 400, just for a cruiser ....
RW> RW>> a 58 Fairlane 500 with the first big block, 332 CI..
RW>Biggest dog I ever drove.
I had a '59 at one time. Yup, major league dog.
