Went over to my friends house the other day and took some pictures of his 31 that he has put a Pontiac straight 8 in. The roadster has some history. It’s a 1931 shortened Ford roadster sitting on a 1937 Willys frame and running gear. It ran that way at Muroc back in 1947 with the Willys 4 cylinder, Hickey head and a Graham supercharger. It was called “The Singer Sewing Machine” and held the record in its class with 125 mph and some change. Mel, my friend, bought the car back in the 70’s after seeing an ad in Hot Rod magazine for it. He took out the 4 cylinder, kept all the original parts, and put in the Pontiac straight 8 and adapted the original Willys 3 speed to it and will eventually be putting on the Graham supercharger. He just got it running a couple of days ago and it is sweet. He ended up splitting the exhaust manifold to be able to run dual exhaust. In the second picture you can see the original front air dam that was on the roadster, which will be going back on, and in the last picture, before the 4×2 motor picture, is the original Graham supercharger that was on the Willys motor.
