56 savoy

[LatPeahy]

Going this weekend to drag this one home, comes with the trailer. Been wanting a hot rod/ maybe a gasser project. Just work out the bugs and drive it for now. Will be on the look out for a hood if anyone knows a place to start or a junk yard in their area that might have one. Not many old junk yards near my area.

Pat: That is a really cool 2-door. I'd love to see a 318 poly in the engine bay with a coupla 4-barrels on it.

Looking forward to your progress reports.

Looks like it’s got a semi fresh rebuilt 270 poly in it. Push button trans won’t go into gear, guys wife said he has to get rid of it and I feel like we settled on a fair price for the car and trailer. I’ll update when I get the car. Unfamiliar with the poly engines so any education on these would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys

I'm going to love watching this project. You're doing one of my fantasy builds.

my buds 56 with his 277 poly n three duces . he's almost got it done .

 

[LatPeahy]

There is video of it running on YouTube and after a previous owner rebuilt the 270 in 2014 I believe. Couple threads on jalopy journal so it seems like it’s been worked on and taken care of.

Stan I know you’re a purist but this will be my first hot rod-ish build. Getting into the gassers lately but it will be a while before it becomes that. But I’ll post as much as I can on the status of it as I go along.

its got a 270 in it with a valley tray ? if so that poly can be converted to a hemi with a head change there very sot after engines for the a b c fords . the 277 poly can't be , it doesn't have a valley tray . there more like an la motor .
