Enjoy that Rocket!
If you have to recondition the heads, I would go with the #3's. If not, stick with the originals. You will not see a big performance gain unless...
Not quite. I have 1956 #10 heads on my 303. The lump on the underside of the 1956 4-barrel manifold will not clear the 303 valley cover. The...

I am upgrading from a TH350 to a 700R4. Can I adapt my LOKAR 350 shifter to work with the 700? I haven't pulled it yet to investigate. Anybody...
Are there any reasonably available yokes for the Caddy/LaSalle transmission in a '50 Olds? What are you using? Thanks....
agree. That is now my plan. On way to machine shop to have block checked out. Looks very good.
I am considering boring my 303 0.125 and using 324 pistons. Since the 324 uses balancer and the 303 does not, is there anything special that...

Always good to see otherS rowing thru the gears. A good proven system. There is so much chatter about hydraulic bearing but simple works best.
I used a Wildwood clutch master but any will do. I mounted it in the stock hole. Very easy. I looked at where the push rod came thru the dash...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] You are correct. Working on it.

Got headliner for my '55 today. Is it really necessary to remove the rear window to install it?
