Finally got the bed off the truck to look at the rear suspension. [IMG] 1990 Ford Thunderbird I believe. Looks like there's some questionable...
You know, at 140mph (combined speeds approaching) I didn't see anything well enough to say. :( A couple look familiar, but there were some...
Who did I see yesterday? There must have been 20 cars or so headed North on 395. Pretty sure it was North of Kramer Junction (395/58). Lots of...
Thanks Ed... I've got the date and block figured out. Now it's about exhaust selection. Back to Google for me... If it's on the internet, it HAS...
Ok, question for the hive... I am looking at motor placement, and thinking that having the headers for mockup will be beneficial. So now I must...
Beautiful.
This is just another reason I prefer the flapper wheels to grinder wheels. If I need to cut I use a plasma, torch or blade. Flapper disks leave a...
Assuming the parts are in good shape (no thrown rods, etc, lol), I'd say you did alright. Oh, and thanks for serving!
Thank you sir. I am dying to get this thing running. I want to drive it!
So what are the thoughts on these? Any input on cam, heads, or intake?
So when do we get to see it in person?
Oh, another interesting fact, the rear end is Thunderbird (installed), with bags (not installed)... Learn something new every day. :)
Ha! Title in hand it's officially an 1951! I also found a lot of paperwork including the build/buy sheet for the 700R4 and it's modifications...
It's a small world. I have 3 brothers in your area. 1 down by the 395/15, and two others at the East end of Apple Valley.
Man, I just sat and read all 18 pages... What a suspense-full journey! Very impressive to say the least. My only complaint? The easy with which...
Stay strong brother! Maybe we need a HAMB Cancer Clique? I remember when I was first told about my cancer... My Doctor was all grave and quiet....
It is an early 327, it has small journals and a forged crank that isn't being changed. I started a new thread with photos. ;)
I seem to have missed a lot of questions. I know the block is a 64 by the cast number. The pistons and crank happened a few years back when dad...
It's 30 over.
Sorry, I am THE worst at names of actors, musicians and bands. Just not my thing.
The intended use is as the power plant for my 2R5 pickup. Cruising around town, yearly road trip to Hot August Nights, etc. I was looking at...
Ok, I know the photo of the manual above doesn't apply, because it's not a 383. Here is what I found on the KB website:...
Difference in height between TDC and BDC is 3.25".
Sorry, no tie to Uriah.
Here is what I believed to be the piston specifications while thinking I had a 383: [IMG]
Are you talking to me?
The KB rep told me they are +7cc.
