I had a 56 with a 315 poly in it. Although I do like the front end on the 56, I always wondered about flipping it upside down and installing...
Tap plastics- Its like a steel supply yard, but for plastics. Most major cities have one.
I have an 8.8 in my A sedan, fits like a glove. Mine is out of an 86 LTD, which is a fox platform car, basically the same as a t-bird.
The 200 is a direct bolt in, assuming you have the early 200. There was a late version of the 200 built in the early 80's, and the starter...
Do an internet search for "the ford falcon six cylinder handbook" Its an excellent book, and they have an entire chapter devoted to exactly how...

You can adjust the clutch linkage to make it engage sooner (lower in the pedal travel), but if that doesnt help, you probably smoked the clutch...
Check www.moderndriveline.com They have everything needed to put a T-5 behuind a Ford six, they probably have chevy stuff too.
The 30" measurement is just the tip. I wasn't smart enough to check on that before I ordered mine, so now I have a pair that extends about 6...
Yeah, its good info to have, the 61 carbs, (like the one pictured), have "backwards" linkage as compared to the 1909 used in 62. What I mean by...
That picture is of a 61 carb. 62's used a Holley 1909, which has a flat top, kinda like an AFB.
I think JC Whitney still sells that plaque.
Doesn't matter now...The blocking went better than I figured, I guess I'm a better bodyman than I thought!(thats a scary thought...) So I will be...
Thanks- So basically, if the material is catalyzed, its safe in the weather? is that a pretty safe rule of thumb? I was planning on sanding it...
My local paint supplier quit selling Valspar products, so I had to go back to using PPG, but its been awhile. Can K36 be out in the rain? I...
