1962 Falcon Gasser project

The old gas monkey garage Falcon

 

I don’t know but from what I’ve seen sticky tracks four speeds and C clip axles don’t play with well with each other…

 

Damn Brother,

You are definitely blasting the stereotype of Southern Folks being "Laid Back & Slow Moving" LMAO!!!

I leave on a 9 day 7700 mile trip & you fix the Wagon rear, I just get home from a 7 day 6600 mile trip & you are already getting the Falcon together!

I was going to offer you some stuff laying around here, but you move too fast! LMAO!

I had Vortec heads rebuilt still in the bags just laying around & since the Nova will have an engine probably north of 1000HP when it gets back on the road, I was going to make available to you the narrowed 9in. 5:13 mini spool rear since it only had 28 spline axles cheap!

I will however drop off the clutch & pressure plate the next time I head South!!!!

I can't keep up as I lose track of time when I am on the road!

God Bless

Hey Buddy, are you looking to sell your Vortecs?

 

Hey Andy,

If you need them for 'Lil Truck Doctors G***er, I got exactly $400.00 in having them rebuilt, you can have them for that! I have lots of engines laying around that I would love to build, but have no time & I honestly can't see myself using cast heads on anything for myself when the aluminum ones are so cheap these days!

Call me if you want them & we will work out a drop off/delivery!

God Bless

I’m very interested, they would be great for his car!! Let me talk to him and I’ll let you know!! Thank you!!!

 

You got my number Brother!....If it gets his car done sooner, I am all in! They are heads that I used for several years & then had my guy "P.C. Automotive in Oberlin, Oh" Magnaflux & rebuild, so I know they are right!

God Bless

Thanks Bill, I’ll talk to him when I get a free minute!

 

Drilling 8.8 ford axles for Chevy pattern.

 

Gotta go get a 19/32 drill bit

 

8.8 stuff. Turns out this 8.8 has a 4.10 gear, less work for the big daddy

 

Modified the old cheap *** drill press to make a setup for drilling axles. The axle is located on 2 hex cap bolts, so you just rotate the axle and drop it back in on the 4.5 BP. Voila! Worked like a charm!

 

Until YOU put your foot down on the go pedal...

 

Narrowed an 8.8, waiting on the mini spool.
