Very Very Nice!

Did I miss something? That video walk-about from start-up... to the view of the engine. What car has this been installed in? From a very old memory, (Dad had a 57' Chev) the dash looks like a 57' Chev but the hood and fenders throw me off.

I remember an earlier thread on details of your supercharged 348 in the 57" Chevy. I apologize in advance if I missed a thread where you explained any further details.

Love the sound and look. Great work!

Could you share any engine details?

hi

engine is in my lates project, itīs an 1950 chevy fleetline.
you are right about the dash, gauge cluster is from ī57 chevy.
car will be full custom in ī60 style.

I sold my ī57 chevy few years ago but kept the engine because you donīt find easily w-engines in Finland.
348 is from ī61 chevy and it has fully ported heads w/ 2,07/1,72 valvels, crane mech roller cam w/0,64" lift, offenhauser low-rise intake, 1" carb specers and 2x 500cfm edelbrock carbs, 2"headers and alum. flywheel.
she sounds mean and revs REALLY fast w/ open headers.

This time left the blower off because I want to drive this car much and blower engine while it was FUN it wasnīt very good for normal summer driveing or for long trips.
