1959 Kingswood 348

[Clint]

Just buff it Brian, to hell with all that other stuff if the frame is solid. Needs a 4 speed though.

Because real hot rods have three pedals!!!

The 348 for this wagon was rebuilt and is 30 over with stock 9,1 pistons I believe the ISKY cam 0911 should be ok with out any clearance issue correct ??

 

[Don Jacks]

Yes,it would be good as far as clearance goes,0948 would be better overall.

 

[yellow wagon]

I agree don’t restore it. Build a motor for it, toss a 4spd in and drive it

 

[Phalen409]

B...... just think for a moment.....................You REALLY NEED to restore it...........................IF you don't, you will be done in 2 weeks. ......You need something to get you thru the winter...

Brian,

I have one of those cams in my 348, 60 over with 9.5:1 pistons, smooth/mild idle and pulls good for a street cruiser. No clearance issues.

The fun begins

 

[Phil Reed]

Going back with original colors Brian?

 

[Blk61409]

I’ve got a ‘59 Borg-Warner 4 speed I had rebuilt a couple of years ago that would look real nice in there. Not that we are piling on, but I think we are piling on!

See a 4 speed and 3 pedals work great!

Going back with original colors Brian?

Satin beige and copper

 

[BSL409]

Not one bolt needed a torch yet

[Don Jacks]

Nice but it needs a 6-71 on it!

 

[DonSSDD]

Pretty solid 59, how many weeks have you had it now?

Two

Looks to be an original heater delete car being from CA and heater was added later

 

[Phil Reed]

Somehow I think that was a factory cheap heater for warm weather areas. If you have some parts books Brian, check there. I had one or two of those kinds of heaters that I parted out but can't remember the correct name.

 

[chevytaylor]

California car!!! I can see roof racks and a couple of malibu's on top of that thing Brian!!!. It's going to be a cool car

 

[BSL409]

Paint is off the roof

Why am I not surprised?

This will either motivate a bunch of us, or rmake us feel inferior...

Thanks either way!
