I kept the stock ford suspension but used Fatman dropped uprights and steering arms. We then put a Pontiac Sunbird rack in the car , again using...
Here's mine going in. [IMG]
The car still has an exterior gas cap, no filler door. The exterior switch is something I hadn't thought of, but I'd still like a remote. As far...
I just finished putting power windows in the doors on my 49 shoebox. I've also shaved the outside door handles. I'd like to install a remote to...
I wanted a manual rack on my car too. We had to go with the Sunbird rack because we couldnt find a Cavalier rack that wasnt power..
I agree with you 100% on getting it lower. The problem I have is when I had it 2 inches lower in the back the driveshaft was hitting the tunnel...
Sorry for the late response Ive been in a room with 8 lawyers since Monday 9am till 6 pm every day. Then a 1 hr drive home. I' m drained. Thank...
Just thought I'd do a quick update. Due to lack of funds and also because I've been working in Naples Florida which is the armpit of the earth I...
My 49 has a chrome plated steel grill. Or has a plated grill I should say. Mine was dingy and scuffed and the local plater wanted over a 1000...
I'm going. I've got to find some gears for a ford 8 inch. I've got 3.00's in it now. My son says the Titanic moved away from the dock faster than...
How about the Ironworks? I ate lunch there then went to a business meeting. When I walked in the lobby the receptionist smiled and said" Somebody...
I chopped the top on my shoebox and I'd like to keep the vents but by the time I get them cut down, rechromed, buy new glass, new seals etc I'm...
I'm on my second 49 shoebox. I couldn't have done either one without Shoeboxford.com. Chris is a huge help. He can talk you thru the 302 swap too.
Thats a good looking chop. Why screw it up by sticking something on it? Leave well enough alone.
Our Autozone here in Melbourne has a manager named Jack that knows his stuff. When I go in I ask for him and 9 times out of 10 I get what I need.
I've got a ford 302 that I have switched back and forth from an Edelbrock 1406 to a Holley 80457. They both run fine. The Edelbrock seems a little...
I know this is a late update but maybe somebody else can learn from my experience. When i got the trans from the trans shop the told me that in...
Summit sells a generic Tri-Y that works pretty well. I put a set on the 302 in my Shoebox. The only problem I had was the collectors angled in...
I use the PH3614 on my 302. Works great in a low clearance application.
What you say makes sense and I will check it out. I just wonder why I got about 500 troublefree miles out of it before it started acting up.
You are obviously very learned in the ways of science. Scurvy is of particular concern to me. I am following your reccomendations as we speak,...
The gin and ammo is pretty much every day around here. Especially gin. It's like mothers milk to me. I've got some subsonic 22 ammo thats a riot...
I'm amazed and grateful for everybody on the HAMB who always pitch in with advice and the benefit of their experience. I can safely say that if it...
I do have the seperate bell housing. Also theres no fluid inside the bell housing. It app ears to come from the joint where the bell housing meets...
I got a C4 backing up a 302 in my shoebox. The trans was rebuilt about 3 yrs ago and when I brought it home I stuck it in a corner of the garage...
By a clean MVR Grundy means that they can have no violations EVER! I tried to get my son on after 3 yrs of a clean record and they rejected me on...
I've got the cam on the base circle when I adjust each rocker. Its easy for me because the intake manifold was off the car when I did it and...
I should have been more specific. These are roller lifters.
I'm changing the cam in my 302 and while putting the roller rocker arms back on I noticed that when I took all the play out of the rocker/pushrod,...
I thought about it, but I think for now I'm going with this cam, and I'm going to build another motor thats a little more radical. I'll probably...
