Yeah, webelectric do a kit to convert the original motor and relay system on t-birds etc over to electronic, much more reliable
If you have other 9 inchers available, why not see if he'll take one of those instead, and leave the original uncut one under the 58?

I'll join in, here's mine. I've also had a 56 Mainline 4 door and a 34 Ford 4 door. Makes life easier when ya like loading her up for cruisin'

Now that is one gorgeous wagon
I see you've got it on Trade Me. Moving it on now?

In my old 272 I used ATF and CRC (penetrating oil), took about a week of working away at the ring gear until it starting moving, kept turning it...
I would have loved to grow up cruising in the back of a 57 wagon, especially 312 powered.
Finally got a day warm enough to cruise with all the windows down, dontcha just love hardtops? Well, I do anyway.
When the motor was unfrozen, one of the jobs was stripping and cleaning the rocker shafts and making sure they were working OK. I guess when he...

Ran through the valve clearances today (been a while but some things you never forget), they were all over the planet (some tight, some loose),...
Other than the wheels and tyres, and the removal of 35 years worth of dust, this is exactly how my car was found after being parked in '73. It may...
