With the newer front suspension can you still read the vin numbers on the drivers side frame?

@garyscarstuff 16 күн бұрын

Not in this case, the numbers cannot be clearly seen.

Beautiful car! I have a series V that my father put a pinto engine/trans back in 70s. I did a light restoration in the 90s and the car has worked great for 50 years, but the engine now needs a rebuild so thinking about this swap. I’ve done some light engine work but not much drivetrain experience here, and certainly never swapped an engine myself. Looking to make it a fun and more reliable car my daughters (who learned Stick on this) can drive. Also looking for comfortable freeway speeds. Currently redlining to keep up on the freeway. I’ll find a shop to help, but really don’t know where to start on this project!

It will be a big project to undergo on your own. We have a car club where we all work together helping each other out with our projects, maybe there is something like that where you live?

Denis, Has accomplished a beautiful job converting his Sunbeam Alpine to the Ford (Cologne) 2.8 V6. As stated, he purchased the engine mounts from Dan Richardson better kown as DanR (Me), that started the V6 conversion on one of his Alpines back in 2009 by purchasing a kit then available on the web. The components were of a good quality but poor design IMO. That is what started me on the path of designing, fabricating and providing the components to Sunbeam Guys wanting a more modern driver. I designed the engine mounts first utilizing drawing, laser cutting, then bending in a Hyd press. The top bracket bolts to the engine; the lower bracket is welded to the crossmember; an ANCHOR 2424 rubber biscuit then fastens the two brackets for a perfact fit. Next came the design of straight back headers similar to the Tiger exhaust system. That was no easy task. Bet Dennis will agree. All of my components are laser cut then formed in a hyd press without welding for better, stronger and cleaner looks. A cross link Dennis mentioned that goes behind the engine, replacing the factory one is also hyd formed with threaded ends for tie rod ends. There are other components needed for the conversion available. You can reach me via the SAOCA Forum or [email protected]

@garyscarstuff 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment Dan. I have to say your kit is excellent for this conversion. The only challenge dennis had was making the headers to fit, but in the end it works great and he is driving it all the time!

Nice video Gary!!!! The little tube is exactly for what you said. If you seal it off the bellows would blow off. If you leave it open It would pull in water and grit. I replaced several bearings in the early 2000s as part of a gm recall but other than replacing rack and pinions that is about as deep as I have ever been in one. I've rebuilt a sector or two and plan on rebuilding the box on the Volksrod.
