Ok I was just about to start on my 31 Chrylser speedster project when out of the blue some one "made me an offer I couldn'r refuse" and I got a fairly complete 1924 Model 70 6 cyl in trade for my rustly bare chassis. Complete except no engine or trans. So much the better because the plan is to build a "retro rod" or Speedester. See the 32 chrysler at this link for inspiration:
http://www.montereyhistoric.com/past/entry_pdf/1b.pdf#search=\'chrysler%20rigante\' Any way I don't need to keep with the origional year, (No Babbits thanks!) just the same general type, so I guess I'm looking for almost any Chrylser/ DeSoto ("long") flat head. Are any of these better than others due to bigger displacement or forged crank etc? I'd like to stay in the 40' or 30's but I don't really plan to race; I just want to look like I could, so I'm open to any suggestions.
Thanks for your reply!
