Right, I had a 55 265 that had an external filter at the front of the engine--on a bracket that looked like a piece of old 3/8" steel bent into a...
Those 8"are well know for noise. I had one in a coupe, 3:55 I think, it had only about 30-40K on it and howled on descent. I figured the gear,...
Fastest thing I ever owned-62 chevy 2 with 327/Muncie. Bare bones body and would rev over the moon. Loved Vettes at stoplights.
Maybe one of those "dealer "installed frames.

agree--can't be April 1 yet! Question: what exactly do you think you're going to gain in the swap?
Its a cycle. In my dino days the big thing was red oxide primer for the average dude, full paint for the well off. Then it went to black...
Had a 40 chevy coupe with the same problem-out about 1/2" or more. I tried a lot of "fixes" but at a car show an "experienced" fella walked up,...
I used to use an 8V bat. on a 235 6cyl. pickup--really could tell the difference in starting (even all the lights were brighter, some didn't last...
No reason, but I'm def. old school---choice between two identical cranks, one laying flat on concrete or the other one standing straight up on the...
IMO do not use the 3 finger type plate or disc. I've used the diaphragm type and the 3 finger many times, the 3 is always hard for street/town...
