Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines New Old Stock Crank - genuine or ef'd with?

Thanks Gearhead . . . the work seemed aweful crude for factory - but there's alot on the car that isn't very sophisticated. For me that is why its so interesting to work on cars of this vintage . . . one doesn't need a degree in mechanical engineering . . .

I am favoring tourque over RPM as this will be cruiser not a drag car. Interesting that you characterize a '49 Fleetline as heavy. At just a scoche over 3100 pounds it is relatively light compared to modern cars packed full of options.
