OK, understand, not high quality or very study (1/4" hardware including the shift rod1) What is an acceptable alternative?
Working on a friends 1955 Chevy with a BBC and TH400 that has a Lokar floor shifter mounted to the trans. The issue WAS that the car would start...

When I was a teenager we would go to Lions Drag Strip often. In those days all the dragsters had a push truck, as did the track itself. Most of...
Rustyl, Thanks for the ideas, and great drawings.
I like the idea of using a front tow receiver/hitch so that the push bumper can be quickly installed and removed. Thanks!
D-Russ, that would be Doug Dwyer, I went to High School with him, and his truck is part of my inspiration for redoing my 1949 F-1. (small world,...
I know, sweet truck, but I see a bunch that look similar. I am thinking I would like to make it look more like it was done in the mid-60's. as a...
I did not do it, was done before I bought the truck. It also has a a Ranger or Explorer rear 8.8" rear axle with disc brakes.
I have a 1949 F-1 pickup, with a 5.0L roller and AOD and it has a modern front subframe. I bought it as a done and running project in 2006, did...
Just some updates: - I have ordered some old Holley tech manuals off EBay as suggested. - I found some info on the Holley List #6919, which I...
Jim, I understand, I guess, but as a result there are likely over 300 List numbers for 4150/4160 Holley Carburetors. I just want to make sure...
Thanks for the info! Holley often seems crazy to me; like a 9834 as a universal 600 cfm with electric choke when they already make a 1850 that is...

So, Hot Heads only carries adapters to convert to GM distributors these days. But QEC sells a longer oil pump drive shaft for the 331/354 that...
Yeah, I know the 440 Distributor rotates the wrong direction (it goes counter clockwise, whereas the 331/354 go clockwise). So skip the 440, how...
I am sure this has been covered, but I need to make a 440 distributor fit into my 1953 331 Hemi. Tommy Thompson used to sell an adapter that...

typo41, Really, F-1s had the serial number stamped in more than one place? I have been told that it only exists on the passenger's side frame...
George, yep, got a early front cover. What about the spacers on the crank nose and an oil slinger when making this conversion?
[ATTACH] These are numbers on cab firewall center. Do they mean anything to anyone?
