My pops always used to say that the fastest cars were yellow. Meaning they spent all the money on the drivetrain, saved money on body and paint.
Surprised you haven't been flamed yet for posting without doing an intro first. Regardless, the 63 bezels will work, but it's not a direct bolt...
Sounds like a compliment. I'd be offended if someone said that one of my rides didn't sound angry.
Look for early Willys Jeep rims. They have a 5 on 5.5" pattern, and come in 15"x4" or 15"x4.5", can't remember exactly which. Not sure what years...
If oil is coming through the push rods, something is awry. FE's oil through a passage in the head to the rocker shafts. Have you looked at the...
Because they're heavy
Nope. Just that one page with the teaser photo and request for info.
I'll be there wandering through the swap meet, cruising the pits in hopes of filing my lungs with nitro fumes, and to make sure the bleachers...
Saw this in this months Modified Mustangs and Fords magazine
Based on the debris behind the car, looks like it was parked. If I was home when something like that happened to one of my cars, there'd be a good...
Clacky noise under load. Does it sound like a coffee can full of pennies being shaken? If so, that's detonation. Detonation could be caused by...
JMO, but that isn't going to make it look old. It's going to make it look like new stuff that's trying to look old, but not doing a very good job...
List 1849 is necessarily an L79 carb. As Johnny Gee said, it has a Ford linkage plate, and the List 1849 was first used on Mercury cars in 1959...
If you grew up on the west coast, you more than likely remember the commercials for Cal Worthington and his dog Spot....
As junkyardjeff said, the swap bar off any 65-79 truck with a twin I-beam will do. Some trucks had a factory bar that bolted to the frame ahead...
Had a great time again Kevin, can't thank you enough for your hospitality each year! Looking forward to seeing that little pickup thundering down...
If that is a for real 7 liter convertible, and it still has the original engine, it would be worth going through whatever it takes to get a title...
Just to rule out the frame being twisted (hopefully not confirm it), get the car off the ground supported by jackstands at 4 places, 2 in the...
Want to say thanks to all who came out to hang with us today, especially those who fought Sunday traffic and offered sacrifices on the 101 to make...
Today
This is tomorrow folks, and it looks like the weather will be damn near perfect for a day at the park!
Wouldn't miss it Kevin! As always, huge thanks for putting this on and let us crawl all over your place each year! Every time I see something lust...
You'll probably have to have new rims custom made. I swapped a Versailles 9 inch into a 61 wagon. Rear axle measured 58.5 wheel flange to wheel...
As Hilo said, they can be clunky. I've run them with both manual transmissions and automatics, and they seem to be smoother with an auto. With a...
We'll miss you Kevin, but if you get hungry, roll through for some tacos!
bttt 3 days away!
5th Annual Day at the Park @ Camino Real Park in Ventura! The weather is good, time for another get together at the Park! Same deal as...
As already stated, build a 390. The 65 block should take a .050 overbore no problem, which will let you use standard 390 pistons. Find a 390 crank...
JC Whitney used to sell high lift coil springs (and rear leafs) for mid 60's Ford cars, as well as many other cars. I'd bet they still have them...
You might try Oldie's Speed Shop in Ventura on Telephone Road in Ventura. They have a room full of AN fittings!
