So I purchased this 1951 dodge coronet coupe with intentions of low and slow , I first went though replaced brake system (lines / cylinder / wheel cylinders pads etc. ) but when I came to rear end it was impossible to source new rear drums so I did a little digging found out I could swap 8.8 out of 91 explorer it’s almost exact width hub to hub with same bolt pattern 5 on 4.5 it’s off a 4x4 so it’s got 31 spline axles . Next replaced fuel system lines and tank and got the old inline 6 going didn’t care for 3 on the tree so I pulled it and was going to swap t5 trans but found a deal on the 5.7 w/ 700r trans (which was easier I didn’t have to deal with clutch and adapter plates) mind you I’m really trying to build as inexpensive as possible in my driveway lol so swap motor / trans / rear end then on to exhaust hedman long tube with full exhaust I believe those are some single chambers I got off speedway . Bought some wheels and whitewalls mounted and balanced at the house . Then bout a 12 circuit harness wired up motor and that’s where the project stalled lost interest with wiring up head and tail lights lol
