Just want to post this here as a big thank you to everyone that's commented so far. I know I haven't responded to everyone but I really appreciate...
When shopping for a 200-4R, are there any particulars to look out for? Are some better than others?
That’s a great idea, I’m just not a fan of any vacuum secondaries. There’s just so much fun feeling the switch between the primaries and...
Ah, so there is going to be an issue with the front drive shaft as it sits. The ones that are the correct length for this swap are from 4 speed cars?
Thanks for the article, I just read it and I'll keep it saved. Good reference!
Oh, and you said you had an issue with the front shaft length. From what I've read the PG, Th350 and 200-4r are all the same overall length, no?...
Thanks for the input. My reasoning to go 200-4R instead of the th350 is simply the overdrive. I'd love to be able to take long trip in it...
Hi all, its been a couple of years since I've been on here or touched my project cars, but lately I've made some significant moves with my 1964...
Been a few days but I’ll update the thread. Yes, I was foolish and wrong, the throttle pulls in the correct direction. Ended up simply bending the...
Well I’ll have to say a big thank you to everyone that offered their ideas. I really appreciate it, seriously. However after being able to take a...
We’re all car guys at the end of the day, right? :) Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Unfortunately I couldn’t really do much today. The car is outside and has been raining hard the whole day. Hopefully if the weather holds up...
Don’t worry guys, I did cover the dist. hole. I just set the intake in place and quickly mocked up the carb when I realized the linkage issues and...
Might give that a go after work today. In the New York area Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Think I’m going to try and bend the existing throttle linkage to fit like a few of the guys here said. As for the kickdown I think I’m either...
Bending the rod might fix the throttle linkage, but the other problem is the kickdown linkage. I can get it to fit, but it’s way too short. When...
Earlier today I was searching around to try and find something but I’ve only come across different cable adapters. I wouldn’t mind an aftermarket...
Hey guys! So I’ve recently decided to swap over from a 2 barrel Rochester 2CV to a 4bbl Edelbrock performer 500cfm carb in my 64 impala 283. I’m...
I can agree except I'd have an alternator, just makes the electricals a bit better. Otherwise 100% Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Thanks for the advice. One big thing I'm wondering about is if I change to a 350, how would that work with my column shift? I've only got the 2...
I don't see how picking up a set of heads and and intake for $30 just to practice porting on is a bad thing. I'm also getting a 4bbl manifold like...
I don't see why teaching my self to do simple porting on heads that I can get for $20 is a bad thing. I even said I'm also getting a stock 4bbl...
Thanks! I'm actually looking at a 62' 4bbl manifold from a 327 on Craig'slist for $50 that I hope I can get. That'll give it a nice stock look...
I'm not looking for crazy numbers like 300,400,500hp, that's unrealistic. Honestly I'm looking for either getting back lost power to put me back...
I believe it is 3.08 as it was the base gear for an impala. Also, my speedo might not be spot on Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Also, with the higher gear, what kind of tranny are you running? With the powerglide and 3.08s I'm pulling about 3000 at 60mph I can only imagine...
Also, i have been considering an attempt at porting either the heads or intake. I've never done this but it seems like a fun thing to do (I like...
Any ideas for a good intake + carb combo? I know this isn't a hipo build and I don't want/need it to be, just want to get a few more ponies out of...
Was it hard to do? Could it be a weekend job sorta thing?
