Re: Another source for early Hemi parts gone

The website is still up, ( www.pawinc.com ) but all you get is a page with their logo on it and all the links to other sections of the site are dead. :(

Re: Compression Problems 426 Hemi

Just checked the compression on my 426 Hemi. Drivers side each cylinder is about 150. The passenger side each cylinder is 115. Big difference especially since the engine has just been done and has less than 100 miles on it. Any suggestions on what might be the problem or cause. ---------------- If ...

Re: industrial 331

The short bell industrial block is the same as the short-bell passenger car engine, so any flywheel, flexplate, bellhousing or adapter set-up made for the a regular passenger car block will bolt right up. About using this engine in your '50 Ford rod - it's a great choice, (any Hemi is!) but as it is...

Re: Tranny ID

It's just a regular 2-speed Powerflight automatic. They were used an all Dodge, DeSoto, Plymouth and Chrysler cars in the early and mid 50's. The "Bohnalite" name on the tailshaft housing isn't really significant - it's simply the name of the company who made the aluminum tailshaft housing...

Got another out. The VT348 is next. Someone wrote on the valve cover "truck 354". All I know is....The damn thing is heavy!!!! Heavy is right. If it's complete, you're looking at an about 850 lb, large sized lump of iron! If it's a VT348, it should be a '54 or '55 331 from a 'medium-duty'...
