'63 OHV Six

Jul 19, 2006 4 Replies

I am currently sacrificing a '63 4-door sedan (heater and raido delete) to the gods of the parts realm. I've tried MANY ways to justify not doing this but there is just no way I can see saving it... needs floors, doors, fenders, interior and more.....



Anyway, it has an OHV six linked to a reverse-less automatic that fires up, runs decent (on old gas), makes no bad noises, holds tremendous oil pressure but smokes a bit after warming up. Other than the bit of smoking (oil by appearance) I can find nothing wrong with it at all.



If anyone is interested in it, please drop me a note. I'll be out of town from Thursday thru Sunday (Martinsburg meet in the ragtop) but should be able to recieve e-mails while there.

Lee's parting of the car reminds me of a question regarding the transplanting of an OHV Stude 6 to replace a flathead 6. Given the positive of more pep and the negative of potential head crackage, would you do the swap?

Look under your porch, I thought I saw some vents under there. No idea what they're from though.
