I once put a 354 Chrysler Hemi in a 1934 Ford 5 window. Along with B&M
Hydrostik. 8 Stromberg 2 barrel carbs on a Homemade "log" manifold. MERCURY
STATION WAGON rear end with 3:90 to 1 rear end gears. It fit with the aid
of a Sawzall and oxy/acetylene torches. Hell of a lot of work, for a
brutal, Ill handling beast of a bump steering, front end heavy, monster.
Went like jet stink in a straight line. Got 3 or 4 miles per gallon.
Sounded really "bad" with all those carbs and the Chet Herbert Roller Cam.
Today, wouldn't have it on a bet. Funny how stuff changes.

Salem, Or
78 GMC ROYALE 403
