Heat being the way to go but…you could always drill the whole thing out and just use a regular nut and bolt to clamp it, if there’s room of coarse.
Are those alternators 6 volt?
Originally my 272 y-block came with a combination fuel pump vacuum pump, my early 170 6 Bronco also came with the same setup. I’m not sure if...
Get it red hot and then clamp on vice grips. Should come out easy as you have quite a bit there bite on.

Back in the 70’s there was a 1957 Ranchero with 428 SCJ 4-speed in our town. It could hold its own in most street races
I agree. Ford got it right the second time around.
My engine doesn’t produce enough vacuum for the trans to shift properly anyways. So you pretty much shift it manually most of the time.
Trans-go shift kits can be setup to shift only manually. They can be either installed with a mild performance/ towing, firm shifting or firm shift...
Those ladder-traction bars look pretty flimsy. With set of slicks on a prepped track I can’t see them lasting very long, not to mention as how low...
A pair of the chrome “Power by Ford” rocker covers would look nice on there. Nice work.
Sort of related but not really. Whenever I’ve had an engine on a stand I always support the front of the block with a block of wood and a small...
I’m amazed Gas Ronda survived this wreck. Looks like his t-bolt in the shot also. [ATTACH]
58 Ranchero with a 57 front end. Has the Super Duty scoop to! Neat!
Try any of the big Ford parts suppliers. Dearborn Classics, Denis Carpenter, Mac’s,……

From a car show last summer…it’s like it was made for it! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
We live in the interior of BC which is prone to wild fires and from I’ve heard from contractors is that any new builds must be installing steel...
The governor valves are made out of kryptonite. Drill won’t touch it…
I’ve experimented with different length pins and also with different weights in the governor to delay up shifts. There was a way to determine to...
Trans go. From what remember there are three stages, 1 for mild performance/ towing, 2 for much firmer shifts, I think it was just installing...
Fords of the day used type F trans fluid. That’s what I’m using in the 57 in my avatar. My c6 shifts very firm but I do have stage 2 shift kit and...
If it had a Boss engine then that answers that question. The 429 SCJ in a 70 body would have been pretty nice combo. I also have heard rumours...
I wonder if they used the Boss 429 shock towers? Sure spark plug changes easier.
