Thanks! Pie cut the firewall since the frame is not pinched. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Tudor. Chevy 2 dr. Cavalier seats. Fold forward for rear access. Plenty of cavaliers still in the junk yards. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Making room for the Hemi. I'm planning to tub the center section, but I had to move the beads over to make room for the distributor.. I'm trying...
finished a few months ago. [ATTACH]
Thanks y'all.
The perimeter frame was originally built by Mike Wagner (Cornfield Customs). I narrowed the rear of the chassis and brought the rear cross...
I've been collecting parts for a few years and finally started the build a couple months ago. I started with my coupe on an A frame and a Tudor...
Sorry. They show for me?? here's a shot of mine. I did not fill the center area and the cover came off, intact, and easily.
Old thread. The cover has been removed (read above). Photos are above too.
I thought about doing that, but I did neither. Its a little hollow in the low areas. But its not really noticeable.
I have to agree. Thanks!
Is it me or is it impossible to find a gauge that works. I think I'm on my third. Plastic lenses that can't handle gas!?! DOA gauges, etc....
Its 60 over, stock heads, Isky cam (that I unfortunately know little about), dual Carter AFBs...
Feeling stoked! Had to share... Got my 392 running on my stand today. It will be going into my 30 Ford Tudor in the coming months (years?)....
Dave, I really appreciate the info and confirmation. I am friends with Mike and Jim Barillaro. As soon as I mentioned to them my next build was...
Well, I went to Wilcap for an answer. Got it in a few minutes. Thats says a lot about them! So for anyone in similar situation... Pat said:...
Seems like hardly anyone uses a Hot Heads adapter with a 4 speed. I'm too committed to Hot Heads to switch now. Thats why I made this post,...
I'm not doubting you, but isn't that a 153 tooth sized bell? I tried one and it would not clear the flywheel at the bottom.
Was the bell a typical aluminum style? Or a steel scatter shield type?
The extent of the info I got from Bob is: 1. Our flywheel has 130 teeth and uses a 10 1/2" Borg & Beck clutch 2. Our adapter takes any bell...
I would of thought so too. I think he just didn't want to spoon feed me how to do my project. I guess I understand, but I thought it was a simple...
I did. They could only tell me I needed a 10.5" Borg/Beck clutch. They couldn't tell me which bell housing would work with their adapter,...
I ask because I can't seem to find an example out there -- with specifics. I picked up a 392 with a Hot Heads chevy auto adapter. I plan to run...
Done! Thanks
I was curious if the foam blocks pop up for sale frequently? I'd much rather buy used then sell when done (sorta rent one). I've been watching...
I used the Model A riser. Not sure of the width, but it just barely fit.
Sorry. I should have updated this. The cover came off with little effort. It was much easier than people describe. Here's a shot of the...
Working on the interior. Picked up some vinyl off ebay. Cut patterns and sewed.... [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Good advice. Thanks!
I'd rather not. I was hoping to copy the patterns and reuse the J-clips. Leaving it on is plan B
