Hi, Need some input from members, I picked up the 53 Black 2 door 2 years ago . it had been sitting in a 1 car garage in the Oakland California hills since 1961 the speedo reads 56,000 I have a copy of the title signed by the original owner, He had had a heart attack trying to fix the engine.(he died later) I got it non op licensed and then the fun began, the engine in it was an early 47 Frazer stickw/od. Got a Kaiser engine from Ed Ewing great , had a stick w od from a 53. In hooking up the spedo gear to the tran i was counting gears and checking the rear end ratio, the tag says W 50-11 and the park brake cable is WAY TOO LONG. the springs have 8 leaves 2 are thicker than normal. any one got any ideas??? and what ratio should be in the car to make it a long legged one for trips?? Dusty
