Waiting on my Sid's drop axle. I've owned this truck for over 20 years now and I'm on my 3rd 390.
My old lady at 50
I've owned this one for over 27 years now. Yea I know it's too high but that will change soon. Still in progress.
I used the Speedway mount. I think it's made by Trans Dapt. You will need a 4 wheel drive 390 / 360 pan (rear sump) to clear the mount. I used the...

Mr. Dyer is right. It would be to your safety to heed him, sheet metal who cares what you use, the rest, your life depends on it. I've been...
This ones in a 62 Unibody. EDC Heads, Sanderson Headers, Crane Cam, E-Bok RPM, 3310 Holley.
Sanderson makes a short header for the FE. Big $$$$ but they would clear anything.
You running uphill or down, sounds like the torch lean is too great. The torch should always be pointed towards the center of the pipe as you move...
