I replaced the TH350 in my GM pony car with a 200R4. Setting up the TV cable is easy. Cross member I had to replace with a BowTie Overdrive...
Here's the one in my '36 "Special Construction"
I ran non commercial plates on a 1972 Chevrolet 2500 with Camper Shell about 18 years ago. California DMV issued them and said it was ILLEGAL to...
My "Shorty" received the "Dare To Be Different" award at Goodguys, Pleasanton, Ca. A large photo of it was in the GoodGuys Gazette monthly...
American motors understood the benefit of making a car shorter. The Javelin was shortened over ten inches, renamed a AMX, rear seat removed,...
I did it back in the 70's, to a four door '55 Chevy wagon. Wheel base ended up really short. After six years of driving it, I extended the wheel...
SBCWelder, My exact same thoughts.
I saw the ad on CL also. This Imperial should have come with a 413 Wedgehead. 1958 was the last year Imperial came with a Hemi. 31Vicky you must...
In 2007, I purchased a new TKO500 with standard throw shifter and installed it behind my fastbk with a FE390. I didn't like the long throw of the...
The "X" frame on a GM car doesn't allow itself for many radical modifications. I shortened a '55 chevy 4 door wagon and the frame was a breeze to...
1936 "Special Construction" using Mustg II bucket seats.
You did not state which SBF you have. Mallory sells this Unilite dizzy for the 1969-95 351 Windsor. Summit wants $375.97 free shipping.
The flat dizzy cap is known as a "Crab Cap" Mallory makes it for the 46-48 239 flathead V8. Too bad you need it for a Ford. There are quite a few...
Go for it! Your post and avatar for some reason reminded me of a root beer brown '55 Chevy 210 two door that had a 392 Hemi in it. It was For Sale...
I converted a 1984 5.0 from a serpentine belt to vee belts. This created a challange with which pulleys to use. Ended up using a three belt crank...
Bad ring gear on flex plate? Some gear teeth may be severely worn.
I like it. Has a very 20's - 30's art deco look.
Ran into a similar issue with the narrow engine bay on my '36 special construction. Mounted the power steering pump higher up and inward using a...
I made this goofy (should say Snoopy) hood ornament out of 1/4" plate using a oxyacetylene cutting torch that followed a graphite line drawing of...
If there is anything wrong with a Skyliner Retractable top, Brian at J & B Auto Repair is the guy to take it to. I knew Brian back in the mid...
I say whatever floats your boat. Shoe horning a bigger engine into small car is a challenge. Picking a hemi will make it an intense labor of love.
I stated a cow side not a whole cow hide. I don't know where they get the cow sides.
After adding power steering, idler arm, rag joint, and disc brakes, I took my car in for a wheel alignment. The steering wheel was off and the...
Pass Part # D50E-9430-CA Driver Part#D50E-9431-BB Exhaust port size 1-3/8" x 1-1/16" I am curious what they came off of. I love the nodular...
These sbf nodular cast iron exhaust manifold headers by FORD will work. Hi-flow, low noise, low heat.
Normal when turning the steering wheel from full lock to lock. Many decades ago, when I learned to drive, my Dad told me it is not good to cause...
I purchased burgundy colored leather from eleathersupply.com. High quality leather! A cow side is about $189.00 (22-25 sq ft). I will do business...
I dealt with Richmond in the 80's. Good people back then. Today, Motive has vendors all over eBay selling their gears.
Sounds like you have gone carte blanche so far. Why not go the "Full Monty" and command all the money possible. I suggest crate engine. Funny...
