Henry Pozzuoli's auto shop class. The students have kicked around the idea of building their own Project Henry J. Their start is a J that has been thru a few owners and modifications, Now the J has found a new home, thanks to the students at west Haven High school. Current condition and posiblities: The J is on its own chassis with a 67 or 68 Camaro fr. clip. Using a S10 frame is a posability that has been thought of. The Power plant now is a 350 Chevy. They would like to install a 354 Hemi. The current engine needed some work to get running because of a stuck intake valve. A broken push rod has now been identified and repaired. The J is now driveable. Evaluation so far. Engine Good Steering system Good Brakes Not so good Previous owners welded the fenders and the hood together and made a tilt set up.
All the inner fender and radiator supports have been modified. The Class is looking for help on a few parts mainly a fiberglass front end. If anyone has one they would like to share with the class email them and let them know.. Good Luck to the class... I will update the information on this project as the information is sent in. 10-5-2003 |
