junkyardjeff Posted February 18, 2024 Posted February 18, 2024 Another thrift store rescue,I had the engine that is from the 53 Chevy hardtop kit. Front axle was broken so it's getting a Camaro front suspension. 1
junkyardjeff Posted February 18, 2024 Author Posted February 18, 2024 Got it sitting the way I want it and added upper control arms.

junkyardjeff Posted February 18, 2024 Author Posted February 18, 2024 Going to leave it in the green.
junkyardjeff Posted February 22, 2024 Author Posted February 22, 2024 This is the engine Monogram should have included in this kit,it's from the 53 hardtop kit with the exhaust manifold from the 53/54 Corvette kit. 1
junkyardjeff Posted February 24, 2024 Author Posted February 24, 2024 Chassis is done and waiting on paint to dry on the rims. 2
stavanzer Posted June 28, 2024 Posted June 28, 2024 I have a pair of Monogram '39 Chevy kits, that are waiting this exact engine swap. Any problems getting it to fit? I see you used the Automatic from the Sedan Delivery Kit. Would the other trans from the '53 have worked? Cheers, Alan

Cheers, Alan I think its supposed to be a 4 speed and was behind the big block that came with the kit,it was a easy swap and the exhaust manifold is from the Corvette kit. 1
