Title: SCRambler Gasser
Post by: TarheelRick on April 23, 2020, 07:30:01 AM

This one has been on the bench (or a facsimile thereof) for the past 10-11 years.  The original vision was for a streetable car that would lurk the streets looking for a certain flat black 55 Chevy.  However the cheater slicks were destined for another build, so I went full Gasser on this one.

The intake manifold and headers are scratchbuilt.  Unfortunately, I got sloppy on final assembly and the cool can interferes with the hood closing.

The SCRambler is a unibody car, so with all the torque of the BBC I decided a set of subframe connectors would be in order, as well as some ladder bars.  A I said the original idea was for a streetable car, that is why it has a full exhaust system.

Final picture of the engine in all its naked glory.  The HEI ignition was bought from a closing Hobby Shop more that 15 years ago.  It is a beautiful pewter casting and I have been unable to find any more.
