The fellow that built this car shows it at many local shows. I overheard some folks deciding it had an Oldsmobile engine. He fabricated the intake manifold, etc.

I think Stude powered hot rods are cool! They are different enough that it makes folks look twice, and we all know that it's cool to be different!!!!!Comment

Pat: Thanks for the heads up on posting photos. This was my second time and of course I forgot everything that worked a few months ago."Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional." author unknownComment

That things probably way over carbureted, but it looks cool. Several people were experimenting with ram manifolds that had square tube runners during the Dick Datson Total Performance days."In the heart of Arkansas."

Right where it should be on a full flow, on the right rear, down low. Looks like he's running a FRAM filter.Originally posted by benaslopoke View Post
That Stude mill looks even better than a Ford flat-head sittin in there !Comment

looks like an R-series oil pan with the breather capped off by that gauze filter. Really squeezed those two pipes into the center port, would love to hear the noise it makes.sigpic

Hot rods with something other than a belly button motor in them are cool.
This one has to be my favorite...

I was at a car show this weekend and a guy had a Model A that he made into a topless roadster. It indeed had a '57 Olds mill with the J-2 setup. His exhaust header construction interested me as the center port was split just the way this Stude was. I did not hear it run.Comment
