Thanks for the confirmation. I have been going through a lot of the documentation you have posted the last few days in preparation. I am kind of surprised at some of the parts that are still available to but for it. Things like Egge selling a complete engine kit (head gaskets, bearings, pistons, etc), Rockauto having master/slave cylinders for the brakes, Wilwood selling a bolt on disc brake conversion, that kind of stuff.

I figure it will be a fairly long process to get it actually safe to drive, but it should be fun.

One quick question: I saw in the spec sheet that the engine number can be used to determine if it is a 288 or a 327, but I have not figured out where that engine number should be. Is that a simple question? Maybe the Patrician only had the 327 based on the owners manual for 1953?


Yes, only the 327 in the 53 Patrician, unless somebody changed it, which seems doubtful to me.
