I like the little buggers and critters also! I have two restored stock engines, two good running take outs, and three complete non running engines. I have a 37 two door slantback with a tin sided sixty not leaking, a 37 two door slantback and a 38 two door humpback. ..both with iron sided thrifty sixties..all three cars run perfectly...plenty of get up and go...but things definately slow down on steep hills...straightaways are good! Biggest maintenance seems to be the darn water pumps...have learned that during rebuilds the back of the plastic impeller and the back of the water pump need to be smooth or else there can be leaks...plus the factory recommended rubber rings and metal spacers need to be in place per specifications. With a modern five speed transmission or a two speed rear end these engines become very interesting!!!

Grt idea to keep a thread running on Henry's Little Powerhouse!
