Congratulations on your way cool stocker.

Great looking 55, I bet those aluminum slot wheels are about as light as most "modern" wheels, and really suit that car.

Are you running a '56 block so you have an oil filter?

Lyn Smith · 02-15-2019, 10:51 PM

Going to pick up a couple 57 265 blocks this week for my new build so I will be able to use a spin on filter,and the starter will bolt on in the conventional way.They make a good rubber rear main seal for it also.These blocks are suppose to be extra thick in the walls and deck .One racer called them the poor mans "BowTie".
