  • 55 Studebaker W/53 Front End on C/L

    Boy was I surprised when I saw this, not what I expected when I clicked on it. The ad does say very streetable though.

    That thing sticking up out of the engine bay kinda messes up the sleek styling lines....IMHO.

      That engine looks like it is in there at a pretty extreme angle. Also would be good to know what he has done to the chassis, I would think some sort of cage would be wanted. Interesting car all the same.

          Every bit as or close to extreme as this ride I saw at Lead East last year:

            perhaps is more an illusion because the car sits at such a rake that the front fender top makes the engine look like it sitting at an awkward angle. IIRC a stock BBC`s carb mounting surface is 4 degrees off level, and it looks like the engine is sitting pretty close to that right now...maybe he wants the extreme engine angles of some AA\Fuel Alts of the 60's and 70's lol, lol.. cheers, junior

              Yea, absolutly no reason for the engine to be raised up that high and that much of an angle. Looks a bit...well, you know..! He must fancy himself as a 60's Fuel Altered driver..!
              I could go on...but I'll be quiet.
