Got the seat belts in yesterday. Learned a few things, like the best way to remove the rear seat is to pull the front seat out first. I didn't do that and yes you can R&R the rear seat anyway but that was one wrasslin' match I'd not care to repeat, sore today.

I got my three point retractable seat belts from https://www.wescoperformance.com/

Finished product

Got the last major part for the engine today, a high compression, finned aluminum head.

I haven't decided on a performance cam regrind or not. Going to pull the engine to clean and regasket it so now is the time if I am going to do it.

Got started on the EFI swap. Had to make adapters to mount my dual throttle bodies to the intake.

Lot's of other fabbing to be done. Going with Microsquirt, with a one off like the Cambridge everything will be up to me to sort out. Fun times.

Your head and intake (nice parts!) look new. I didn't know such parts were still available?

I think I got one of very last batch of that head. The maker is designing a new head that looks stock, has all stock mounting points but will have a better combustion chamber and higher compression, sort of a stealth head for the flattie. The intake is a reproduction (continuation?) of the original Thickstun casting. A batch pops up on Ebay every so often. Both the head and intake are cast and machined in the USA too.

If you are patient and your googlefu is strong you can find just about anything for that engine, except a bolt in EFI kit.

I planned on getting to the swap some more today, but I ended up spending all day (12 hours or so) getting the Cuda out back together so I can roll it out of the garage as needed. Maybe tomorrow.

A pic of both Plymouths, side by side.

Got more mocking up done with the EFI swap. Made the air cleaner bases, tapped the spacers and plumbed for a PCV setup, ran a line to each spacer so I don't have a lean cylinder condition. Also tapped a separate fitting for the MAP and fuel pressure regulator vacuum source. Split the fuel rail and extended it, injectors installed. Likely going to upsize the fuel rail connector tube. Started in on the TPS adapter, need different hardware to clear, being metric finding button head M4 machine screws in this town is tricky.

Nice work!

Thanks.

Spent some time this weekend with my son testing tire fitment on the Cambridge. Going to go from P215/75R15 to P255/55R17 and probably Moon Discs. Got to thinking on how to double check a tire's fit without having to buy the tire first. I came up with an idea that may help others.

Did a write up on my webpage.

Those will fill up those big wheel wells nicely.

apparently my free website hits the limit, so I got my own domain now.

The Cambridge build ought to all be there by now.

I joined this forum just to say: Niiiiice.

I just bought a 1952 Cambridge myself back in December. Seeing what you're doing here makes me want to do some upgrades to my car.

I'm definitely following this thread.

If you have questions I would be happy to answer, as long as we all understand "I don't know" is an answer, lol. This is a learning experience for me too.

Got the air cleaners finished, haven't written it up yet so here a shot of it done.

Got the air cleaner housing write up done

As well as the TPS adapter mount.

Still have to decide where to put the AIT sensor, real estate on the air cleaner base is tight, might put it in the intake. Internet opinions are mixed on which is a better spot.

EFI is about ready to go in. Going to pull the engine out to clean, inspect, regasket, etc. While it's out need to clean up the engine compartment, plumb the fuel lines, the fuel sump and the EFI pump.

So, the son and I built a gantry crane to pull the engine.

Nice job.

Did you get that engine out?

Not yet, I found a complete rebuilt drive train (engine and trans) takeout from a 51 Plymouth some one decided to hot rod I am negotiating for it. So I can go thru it while I enjoy driving at the same time. But when I get one, or the other, on the hoist I'll post pic.

Sounds like a great way to go!
