Glad to hear those blocks found a good home. I studied them on the auction site and just were a little to far to drive for possible junk. Dale -...
No new transmission yet, but at least I have it all figured out how to make it fit and shift. Only a four speed but when you count the push truck...

The Blonde Bitch is loaded up and ready to go. I must have missed the gray hair requirement, but I'm sure I'll get there before I'm setting any...
Very interesting stuff! Would love to pick your brain, especially about what you found while porting the Merc block. I have a couple of those...
Mark Williams also sells the coupler for the rear axle with a plain bore that can be modified for your application. That is what I had to do in...
That Mark Williams coupler is 1.250(outside diameter) 10 spline. I am not sure of the od of the early ford 10 spline, measure the od to start....
Bellytank for Bonneville on a budget? I definitely agree with Tman, 100 dollar bills just disappear. My experience was if you have a budget...
A few from my bellytank's first trip to bonneville
Want to help the cause and get a t shirt check them out on our website. Already scheming how to faster...
Thanks Mac. Actually I got parts from you for that trans and whole bunch of parts for a spare that thankfully I did not need to use this year. I...
Well I did a quick attempt at putting the YouTube videos on here and failed. Instead if you want to see them and pictures you can check out...
Lou, thanks for the compliments. Just saw your question about the tank shape. I have read all the debates on that as well and decided to stick...
Looking good. Hope you make it. It's a lot of fun.
Yes, we made it to speedweek after months of scrambling. It was great meeting everyone there and all the good things everyone had to say I really...
Rootz - I missed your questions before, - the lower shock mounts are welded directly into the front axle. For the front spring i could not find...

Wow, its been a long time since any update so here we go. Still in process, working on it as much as possible, so many details. Last summer I...
No new updates worth mentioning, just getting seat belt mounts finished and a seat that I can fit in. For mounting the tank the bottom half...
I do believe I must admit to defeat for making it this year, that is unless I win the lottery and can quit my job. So I guess 2011 it will be....

The hydraulic cylinders are Wilwood, I got them from Summit, most people sell them, Speedway probably has them as well. Wilwood p/n is 260-1304...
Yeah I agree, nothing more appropriate than the flathead. The rotisserie was quick and low tech, but very useful.
I don't know where you could find a set of those block off plates, I've been on the look out for another set myself with no luck. There out there...
