I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH MY PONTIAC UP FOR AUCTION IS A 1951 PONTIAC CHIEFTAIN DELUXE EIGHT 2DR SEDAN WITH A 1967 FIREBIRD OHC ENGINE AND TH 300 TRANSMISSION REAL SOLID CAR... NICE FRAME, FLOORBOARDS, TRUNK PAN, STRAIGHT SHEET METAL... THE ENGINE WAS REBUILT SEVERAL YEARS AGO, RUN A FEW THOUSAND MILES IN ONE OF MY FIREBIRDS, THEN PUT INTO DRY STORAGE.. THIS IS THE PERFECT OLD SCHOOL COMBINATION FOR THIS CAR. THIS 2 DR CHIEFTAIN DELUXE ORIGINALLY CAME WITH THE STRAIGHT 8 FLATHEAD AUTOMATIC COMBO. THE OHC HAS A HIGHER HP RATING AND WEIGHS A HECK OF A LOT LESS, STOCK SUSPENSION HANDLES IT GREAT. ....MOTOR MOUNTS AND TRANSMISSION CROSS MEMBER HAVE BEEN FABRICATED AND INSTALLED.. ....CUSTOM $300 DRIVE SHAFT AND YOKES INSTALLED ....NEW 12VOLT BATTERY AND TRAY RELOCATED TO FIREWALL ....CAR STARTS FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT WITH STD IGNITION SWITCH ....PLUMBED UP TO ORIGINAL '51 RADIATOR ....CAR FIRES RIGHT UP, STOCK CHOKE...RUNS, DRIVES AND STOPS... ....THROTTLE AND SHIFT LINKAGE ALL SET UP ....OHC FAN, PULLEY, AND ALTERNATOR ....THE TRANSMISSION I BOUGHT WAS USED. WORKS IN ALL THE GEARS JUST FINE, BUT LEAKS ...I WAS PLANING ON SWAPPING IT OUT FOR A TH200R4 OVERDRIVE AUTO IF I KEPT IT. ...THE ENGINE IS RUNNING FROM THE GAS TANK WHICH I HAD FLUSHED OUT PRIOR TO ADDING FUEL. IT'S READY FOR THE NEXT LEVEL.. BODY; FRONT AND BACK WINDOW AREA'S ARE SOLID, TRIM IS ALL THERE AND IN NICE SHAPE, ORIGINAL STAINLESS WIPERS..SMALL RUST AREA BEHIND AND ON BOTTOM OF PASS DOORAND UNDER STONE GUARDS..
