rebuild or not to rebuild that is the question
Hi me again 32 roadster looking for tri carbs but getting no where so going down the route of tunnel ram with twin holley
The 460 i have , so i have been told came out of an air force econoline van that was side swipped, 30,000 miles on
i dont know if i should leave it aloan or rebuild it , but would like to uprate the performance without going to wild (street /Strip)
doess anyone have any ideas on a shopping list of parts i should change to do this , and where is the place to shop (www) for me to ship to the UK , not many place here to get parts from
Cheers
Speedy (craig)Speedy speedemon

I think you should install the motor as is with the original carb/manifold. Don't go dinkin'around with a tunnel ram until you see how the motor runs. I would think that a stock 460 in a deuce would be one hairy ride without any help.PLANET EARTH, INSANE ASYLUM FOR THE UNIVERSE.

30K miles? drop it in and run it..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

Right you are. He had a '58 348 tri-power, 3 speed Impala at the same time. While I was home on boot camp leave in Dec of '61, he let me drive the Impala, it was quick.Originally posted by techinspector1
