Does this thread include those who are gathering parts for a T build? I got a 27 T roadster body from HAMBer Johnnie C and have started rounding...
Thank you Mr Shelby, for your contributions to this world, not only in what you did in creating the Cobras, Shelby Mustangs and the other things...
Just my opinion, but that manifold looks to be a Medium Riser and maybe an "over the counter" item. The Medium Riser came originally on 427...
Although I've never done this, I've heard about it done often enough as a quick way to determine the stroke of the motor and thus the...
You could just buy the wood at a lumber yard like Lowes or Home Depot and do the fitting yourself. There are diagrams out there on the specifics...
Not to get off topic but I think there were a few Granada's or Mercury Monarchs that had 9s in them from the factory. The very similar Lincoln...
I've got a spare one for the same price as the swapmeet but shipping would kill you... I could bring it to the Seattle area in a week or so....
Hopefully this pic will show the toploader overdrive linkage I fabbed for my 60 Ranchero. I moved the shifter forward from the original mounting...
Depending on your fab skills, you could move that factory shifter box forward. I have a toploader OD in my 60 Ranchero and did just that. The...
I think I agree with above... pulling the intake is a real pain as if it's the original cast iron piece; it weighs nearly 100 lbs. Taking it off...
While I know a bit about FE Fords, I'm not positive on this Edsel. I think your 361 is an FE motor if I'm not mistaken. I do know that 58 Fords...
Ford Mavericks came with 8" rear ends with 4 lug axles the first couple years. I'd say that's what the rear end is...
I have a set of those. I think they look good on my 1960 Ranchero...
Wow, I just spent a good portion of my evening reviewing this build. Somehow I missed it before. And I saw the work you did on that 28 roadster...
Yes, a 4 speed top loader will bolt in place of the 3.03. You have to use the 1967 or newer belllhousing stuff from a Mustang or Maverick. I run...
Sweet!
ditto... I will need to know how that is done as well. That is some excellent work to bring that original Henry Ford tin back!!
"My '51 ford F1 still has the old rear end with 4:27 ratio. I want to put something latter in so I can use around a 3:25 ratio. Does anyone know...
The 200 may have 7 main bearings as well depending on the year. I'm not certain of the changeover year but 200's with the C4 was likely a new...
Wow, an incredible build of just an awesome tow rig!! I remember seeing a B-series Mack in a junkyard in New Mexico in the mid 80s and thought...
If you have a windows based PC, you might try to use "Paint" under your "accessories" I used MS Paint to resize pictures for the HAMB. Under...
And all this time I thought I was the only one to be threatened with being on an episode of "Hoarders"! I've been spending the past year and a...
JC Whitney used to sell Cal Custom valve covers in the 70s. I remember the catalog add never said they were Cal Custom parts, just that they were...
The seller ended the auction as "no longer available". He answered my email as well. Glad we saved someone some potential heartache!
I sent the seller a message telling him it wasn't a 1942 trans, instead being a mid 60s C4. In one of the pictures you can see the part...
I've been using Rock Auto for several years. I got my Ranchero floor pans from them and had the parts in less than a week! The only issue I've had...
On my 63 Ranchero, there was a little diecast piece that goes on the lock cylinder that "moves a lever" on the door latch. That piece between the...
Sorry, incorrect. All 289s are adjustable. It's true that only the HiPo uses solid lifters but the hydraulic lifters on the rest need to be...
There is a gear that runs the odometer seperate from the speedometer. On my 63 Ranchero that gear is plastic and one of the little tabs that it...
I'm not trying to hijack this thread but would like those with more experience to explain further. I've read several times where many say to...
