The only block that might have been yellow and wasn't Chartreuse like an early 57 265 could have been in a truck. Truck engines were all together...
Well, because I'm just crazy enough to keep it in the range of a 265. If I do decide to make a 283, I have to 57 era forged factory cranks and a...
To the best of my knowledge, if you had a 283 with a Turboglide transmission, the starter did mount to the block. Someone can verify or debunk...
If you lived closer, I'd buy it just so I have one ! Ha ! Unless you make it to the Cleveland Ohio area sometime in the future. What is your price...
What Moriarity said is the case, 57 283. If it were a 265 the last letters would be C, CD or CE for a car and L, LA, LB or M for a truck.
If the casting number ends in 991, it's a 56. If no filter on the block, you know it's a 55. 55 casting number ends in 524. a 57 block ends in 548...
Thanks for answering the lifter question. You can also modify the rear cam journal and connect the oiling hole with the annular groove and make it...
Buy them before everyone scraps them. Most think they are all worth big bucks because they are old and rarer to find but only me and the rest of...
Correct. 57 265's were an upgrade from a 6 cyl. and all were 2 brl. 3 speeds whether in a car or truck. To the best of my knowledge, they only put...
Only because there are so many 283 blocks to find. I do have a set of original std. bore 270/283 pistons that just may get used for a future build.
I have the original 55 block from my dad's car in high school in the corner and I have a highly machine prepped .060 56 on the engine stand that I...
I want to put together all the correct info. on 265's that I have found. I have a lot that will help eliminate some of the bad info. out there but...
265's made in the Flint planted were painted chartreuse into early December 1956 and the end of November in the Tonawanda plant, then they were...
Well, I still haven't finished the 265 I want to build for my car but I couldn't pass up finding this over the weekend. A legit, standard bore 57...
This is a standard bore 991 block, casting date: F 7 56, front pad code 0224354 T 56 G (8 cyl. 3 speed). Crank: 3836266. Pistons are old Jahns...
If it was them or Rod n race they are both long gone and I can't seem to find anything. I will keep looking and hopefully somebody figures out who...
I watch this exact video, very informative. I will be running a closed air intake system so I may just fix this up and run it. I really wanted a...
That is pretty cool. If this was a one off, whoever made it had some great skills. It is black gel coat inside and outside the hood and was made...
I've searched every fiberglass panel site I could think of and find and I still haven't found who makes/made this. Anybody ever seen this on...
Well I won't call myself cool but I will be running a cold front air intake system that a fab up so the hood will function properly and evacuate...
I couldn't find it on their website but maybe they just don't make it anymore. It was still worth $50, I think.
It's always pissed of anyway !
Technically, this isn't a cowl induction hood UNLESS you made an air cleaner that sealed to the underside of the hood. The Ford Galaxies,...
I couldn't pass this up even if I don't use it. I bought it for $50 ! You can't buy anything for 50 these days !
Aside from the damage on this, that black appears to be gel coat. This is much newer than even the 90's or early 2000's that is why I am just...
I guess I will have to check them out too. I have searched every way I can think of and only find a few pics but not a product ad from a company.
Yes it could be utilized like cowl induction if the air box was set up correctly. I am fabbing up a dual snorkel setup to go right into the side...
I picked this up this weekend for almost nothing. I am just curious who made this hood ? It isn't grafted on, it was made this way full bolt on. I...
Also, I forgot, a 55 pans is ynique and you cabt use aby other sbc pan. I is shaped different due to the fact it doesnt have an oil filter but...
Since I decided to build the 56 265 I got a hold of it has a good pan. I am planning on making the oiling modification so I don't have the "pulse...
