      I would stop driving that car immediately The flexing of the frame and the fact that it moves the motor when you try steering it means the motor mounts must be welded to that tin foil frame You're asking for a hurt send that piece of shit back

    Why would anyone put a model A body on a model T frame? I’ll bet that it is a model A frame with the crossmember cut for the transmission to go through. The frame probably wasn’t braced or boxed which would explain the flex when the steering wheel was turned.

    • @AndyGeesGarage
      @AndyGeesGarage Год назад

      Exactly what I was going to say. Definitely a Model A frame and needs to be boxed.
      I actually don’t like using those Vega cross steer boxes on a Model A frame they put lateral strain on the frame a Corvair reversed box for push pull that goes parallel to tge frame

  • @Mercmad

    If I remember correctly, the 330 was the engine used in the original 442 in 1964. In 65 they changed to a 400 b/c people wanted an automatic so the 442 designation changed from 4 speed to 400 CI. Was a great engine tho. I'd never buy a T bucket tho.

    I’m betting th frame is the factory c shape. It should have had steel welded over the open side to make it a box shape. That changes everything and why after market frames for something like this is box shaped.

  • @my31and37
    @my31and37 Год назад +4

    The worst thing is someone welded the doors shut. Probably a hodge podge of coupe and roadster parts...and yea, that frame is dangerous. I've built a few 30s cars and that's NOT the way. But, you'll know on the next one.

    From the way the engine was moving when turning in the shop, it seems like the front frame rails need a crossmember to tie it all together. Could probably fabricate something. Most likely that's why it's all over the road at highway speed.

    I had a T Bucket about 30 years ago. I didn't build it, but it was basically built from a kit. Modern frame, fiberglass body, 351C/4 speed. A real Model T frame is not designed for a heavy V8 engine and modern wide/heavy tires/wheels. A T Bucket would have a special construction title unless it was built from a kit with a VIN.

It would appear that there would be a better audience for the start stock Model T Touring in one of those sales.

    The Olds 330 CID V-8's were the only small blocks that had forged cranks and are highly sought after items by racers and rodders. All 350 CID cranks are cast. The 330 and 350 both shared the same stroke and bearing journal diameters. As an advertising gimmick, Oldsmobile had a 330 installed in a Cessna aircraft and actually flew it. I'm sure if you search hard enough you can probably find one of those magazine ads. I believe they were in Hot Rod and Car Craft mags as well as others like Motor Trend etc.
