Totally valid point. Between May and September (when the roads aren't snowy/salty), I run it around on the weekends and do use it to drive to work...
Thanks for the responses fellas. You gave me some other options to consider. For the record: I ditched the EFI in favor of a Holley 4150 with...
Hey Guys, For context: I've been running Holley's Sniper EFI - forgive me my sins, I now see the error of my ways - on my '65 ranchero since I...
Thank all of you so much for the help. I crawled under the car today and I found the casting number on the attached picture. I read this number as...
The bellhousing is original to the ranchero (same as the 289 and T10).
Also, I’m pretty sure that the original clutch that came out of it was a 10.4” unit.
So, here’s the problem: The 302 that is presently in the ranchero was ‘loaned’ to me by my pops until I got the 289 built. And the bellhousing in...
That just might do it! I’ll follow up in case dummy here can’t figure it out but Thank You!!
Any idea on the tooth count?
Fellas, I need to buy a new flywheel for my 1965 289/T10 that are going back in their original home, my '65 ranchero. It has the 6-bolt aluminum,...
Thanks for the responses guys. Pops really isn’t that big (6’, built like a linebacker). The seats are just mega narrow at the back (where the...
Fellas, Over the past 5 years, my pops and I have been working on my 65 ranchero. Well, late this summer, we finally got it road worthy and...
I was planning on putting a Hurst shifter in at some point. So what I'm getting from you guys is it will be good for more than just 'cool guy...
Thanks guys! I would be lying if I claimed to have the confidence to rebuild the tranny myself, but I’m definitely gonna mention the torque lock...
Thank you guys for the responses! The popping out of gear/synchro-related issues some of you have mentioned coincides with what I’ve read in...
Howdy, Pops and I are in the process of tearing the 289/T10 out of my 65 ranchero. It sat in a field for some time before I acquired it, so both...
Thanks, Chappy. If he doesn't see this, maybe I'll shoot him a PM.
I was afraid that patience was going to be required. Bummer. On the bright side, I have enough bodywork to keep me busy this winter while I wait....
Gentlemen, When I bought my ’65 Ranchero, it was missing just about all of the exterior trim. I can locate just about all the badges and emblems...
First of all, thanks a ton for all the replies! I had my pop check the code on the casting and sure enough, it was C5TA and had those extra...
Thanks for the warm welcome, fellas! Look forward to learning from yinz and sharing pops' and my build with you all.
Hey guys, hoping one of yinz can point me in the right direction: My pops has a 302 that we're in the process of transplanting into his 65...
Hey fellas and ladies, I'm Chris. I live in the Pittsburgh area, been lurking on the HAMB for a long time but now finally have a reason to...
