Mike it was just a thought and still in the planning stage! You are correct to always run the shortest water pump so the motor can be as far forward as possible! Thanks for that shop out in CA! One of my friends out there had that shop build a car for them! That shop likes using corvette independent rear ends plus they build their cars to the old school styling the way they should be built! You are correct on the SBC length as the wood firewall might need to add or replace with steel plus the floor with also mounting the swing brake pedal to the firewall mounted dual master cylinder with no booster with gravity being my friend!
I would always use a shroud because it adds extra suction draw effect with any fan type. I tried it when I installed it years ago and I used 2 paper towels attached and it stuck to the radiator core like glue and that was after I had assembled the complete setup with the 6 blade electric fan plus I had made a custom SST shroud with the lowest profile of about 1 / 2 inch for added suction! Will have to try the 2 x 2 ft cloth diaper method!
Sounds like a great plan on your 35 Chevy Roadster build and will be low mantaince on the detailing plus lots of driving with NO trailer!
Thanks I will check out Ingalese weber setup!
Speaking of low mantaince at first I was leaning on all red wire wheels like what is on the 34 Roadster now and getting the new ones from Coker and just going with black wall tires. Then I was thinking on cleaning them when on long road trips! Then I kind of liked the Coker Rocker Strike vintage wheels from the 1960s and '70s look. Also they come in 17 inch diameter on eBay that I would like to use on the rear! Easy to clean and care for!
Mike what’s your thought on these style wheels for my car?
