If your a Ford guy, you already know the answer. If not, probably doesn't matter. Not like there is any shortage of 350's in early Fords. Mike
One more version. [IMG]
X2, your 64 runs around 4200#. I think it would be a lot more fun to drive with a stout 390 and they are still pretty easy to come by and an easy...
Crucifix and a crack pipe in the last truck I bought, Interesting combination. Mike
Even better. Thanks, Mike
Nice rack! That didn't come out quite right.:D Did you pressure test after you tig'ed it up? Hadn't seen that done before, but seems pretty...
Have to agree with the crowd on this one. I had a hardtop back in the mid 60's, and they are a real nice cruiser. Today I'd go with a 4.25 stroke...

Butchering the mastodon and drawing on the cave walls.:) Mike
Sounds like a weight transfer setup to aid in high speed cornering. Similar setups where used in early police pursuit cars. Sort of a precursor to...
Ah yes, Special Ford engine. Obviously the worst one they ever built. Mike
Your going to love the 331. The Tremec can be a little notchy, but should be strong enough. Nice job on the chassis and the cage. Gonna need some...
Wouldn't it be nice if it was that easy?! Looks exactly like the engine out of my Triumph TR6 less two cylinders. Mike
Looks good. Just an observation , but you might want to think about adding some lateral support to the upper control arm mounts. Nice work. Mike

Nice Y-block. Must feel like a luxury to work on your own stuff.:) Mike
Very nice job. Now you just need some Ford power in there.;) Mike

MSC or Enco have them. Mike
mid-late 60's I put a 410 merc/top loader/9" combo in my 53' merc. Helped a friend put a 389 poncho/4sd hydromatic in his 54' ford. Most of the...
Thanks for the ride. Makes the 8" of fresh snow outside easier to take. Supposed to take the T-Bird down to a show in Gateway CO on the 7th if I...
Major bummer. Glad to hear your ok. Poly tank may be ok, but a skid plate is in order. Mike
Good idea. Maybe make them up out of stainless tube and polish them up. Car is looking great. Just a note, I don't think you need to go to 2000 on...
Anyone out there have any experience with a Lotos 250 amp tig/plasma cutter combo or any other product from this company. This is the ad site....
Sorry to hear of your loss. Lost my mom five yrs ago and miss her more than I can say. My Dad is 86 and has cancer, but seems to be holding up...
That is one fine automobile.:) Mike
Great car. How about some details on the drive line. Mike
This is one section. I try to keep things cleaned up, but if your in the middle of a thrash it can get out of hand pretty quick. When it gets so...
