GAZ m20 from Russia

[Meeve]

nice project! The model is nice. There is a picutre where your front panel is over some kind of tractor wheels. It would be crazy with those wheels on it. It's the russian thing to do.

But on the other hand, I have a lot of friends who have installed this engine to gaz 24 and gaz 21

That is a challenging project you got on your hands, hats off! You don't see a "Pobeda" quite often.

What about a GAZ 53 V8 engine? Shouldn't be hard to find, is a V8 and is somewhat period correct.

I fully agree with you. I also thinking about this engine. But my knowledge is not possible to determine the desired torque and the motor to dock with the desired automatic transmission.

I would like to simplify your task : Buy the whole system: engine + gearbox + rear axle + elecric

By the way, we have somehow brought the entire vehicle from America and it cost at that time more than $ 10,000 ( in America at the auction, its price was about 4000)



(then the American currency began to rise, and if translated Russian money now this machine is ~20,000 (2014 / 34. rub = 1$ ,but now 2015/55.rub= 1$ ) so buying an old car at copart.com is not meaningful

I apologize for my bad English...

I have a some doubt about engine. GAZ M20 are cars with 4-cylinder engines, this stock engine have a 50 horsepower.(not enough horsepower in today's traffic ) but that beutiful flathead. (originally It had a 6-cylinder engine,but Stalin said that crisis began after the second world war in the country , and people cant to pay for the large consumption of 6cylindr engine gasoline (but continued to put this engines on trucks(but not a GAZ M20 )) A friend of mine puts a six-cylinder engine to his lowrider bomb.. I think it's wonderful... But I really like "V"-engines (V6,V8) I work for a company that brings Spare parts from America. We buy broken American cars (Chevrolet, Ford, GMC etc.)they dismantle them in America and send those parts that we need. I'd like to buy old american car with Carburetor engine and automatic transmission dismantled from the old American cars. (80-s .. Chevy, Ford...) but it will cost a lot of money (because delivery) Therefore, it may be necessary here to search a car with an engine and an automatic transmission. An inexpensive option is a Ford Scorpio with 2.9 v6 engine
