Hot Rod had a feature article on a '37 Chev street machine with the DOHC 4-valve six with a mild-boost single turbo that ran low tens in the quarter. If I remember right, it was basically stock. Anybody remember what issue that was in?

I would love a slight chop. I'm not doing it myself. I hate body work. I might ask how much if I pay someone to redo the body and paint.

It was built by Chris Beierling, PY member GTOWAGON who passed sometime in 2019.

The two extra, from the set, are in a box. Also supposedly has a HP cam. He's looking for the paperwork. I might try the machine shop also. Was built at Smith Machine Shop in Wichita KS. It's good to have free options!
I really can't stand the six popper. That car will be more fun with the V8. I would add more structure to the frame.

I agree. Gotta have some stones! Also agreed on beefing the frame. It has some already. Will add more. I'm going to visit a local Hot Rod builder to evaluate and learn. He recovering from an illness currently though.

Default Very Nice project.
Very clean and solid 32 project. Good starting point.
I wish my 36 Ford 5 window looked that good. I would be mooned.

Have fun with the build.

Box the frame and drop the V8 in. You will not be sorry.
