1954 Kaiser Henry J
Custom Chopped Roof | 383ci Stroker Chevy | Built 700R4 Transmission
This 1954 Kaiser Frazer Henry J is a remarkable custom build, blending classic hot rod style with modern performance enhancements. The roof has been expertly chopped, featuring a custom windshield and windows that give this car a sleek and aggressive profile. The body and frame are solid, with only minor surface rust spots adding a touch of character to its vintage appeal.
Under the hood lies a powerful 383ci stroker Chevy engine, equipped with a 4-barrel Holley carburetor, inverted exhaust headers, MSD ignition, and a large radiator with an electric fan, ensuring it runs cool even in demanding conditions. The engine is paired with a built 700R4 transmission, providing smooth and reliable shifts, making this Henry J run like a bat outta hell.
The suspension setup is top-notch, with a Fat Man tubular A-arm front suspension featuring a coil-over kit from Speedway, and a rear 4-link suspension with coil-overs supporting a locked Ford 9-inch rear axle. This setup ensures that the car handles beautifully and remains planted on the road.
Inside, the car features completed seating and a sound system, though the rest of the interior is ready for finishing touches to suit your style. The custom fabrication throughout the build is evident, and while the engine temperature gauge is the only component not functioning, the car is otherwise ready to hit the road and turn heads wherever it goes.
This 1954 Kaiser Henry J is more than just a car; it’s a testament to custom craftsmanship and performance. With its unique style and powerful setup, it's perfect for cruising, shows, or adding the final touches to make it your own.
