    351W For 65' Fastback

    As stated the 351W requires a header swap and when I was looking at doing this there was only 1 header out there for this. Look in Summit/Jegs. I also read of some clearance issues with the 351 and power brake booster. I stayed with the 289 since I have "room" to work and stuff. Yahoo or...

    6 cyl to V-8 Swap Oil Pan issue

    Can't really help you there. I didn't have any rust issues on the frame, floors, etc....1 in a million I guess. I will be adding subframe connectors down the road. Sorry. Seriously though, if you want to avoid headaches, stick with a 289/302. 351W is doable, just limited as to what you can...

    6 cyl to V-8 Swap Oil Pan issue

    LISTEN TO ME You can put a 351 in a '65, with some issues. 1) VERY limited as to what headers to use, 2) Issues if you try to install power brakes, 3)Weight.... I studied...much. I was rebuilding the 289 in my '65 and was thinking of putting a 351W in instead. After much reading, I...

    granada brake help

    I would first check your anti-rattle clips and the "lock screw" things that hold the caliper. I don't know the correct terms as you can see. I did the granada swap on the '65 so I know what they look like!!! Big help huh? It sounds to me like you have a loose caliper and when brakes are...

    proportioning valve setting? help please

    If the rears lock up first it will send you into a tail spin. PV in the rear lines. However, I have done this same swap and adj. the pv and the rears never lock. Actually, the fronts won't either. PV to the rears with the fronts locking first then the rears.

    Hedman Hedder Question

    Put the Hedman Elites on my '65 slightly built 289. Easy fit, hang down a little and give it a mean look. Very easy fit. The "Elites" are nickel coated so they won't turn. They run $265. I had a muffler shop run the rest of my exhaust. 2.5" from collectors, h-pipe, turbo mufflers into...

    header help

    I went with Hedman Elites on my 289 (same). They slid right in from under the car after engine install with no problem. Great fit. They sit low so you'll lose some ground clearance. (I've got about 3 1/2-4 inches) I've been told they look wicked from someone in front of you looking in their...

    69 front discs on a 66 - what would it take?

    I'll bite. Not sure what is "too much money" but discbrakeswap.com sells the complete granada setup for about half of what you would pay for an advertised kit such as SSBC. Easy swap.

    rims

    7" all the way around. I'm running 15x7 on the '65 with no drop/raise. 215/60r15 rubber and only close point is at front of front tire at the bottom of the fender. About 1/4" clearance at closest point. You're fine

    OT: Any Math people in here?

    Maybe it's been too long but you can't independently break down the top and bottom can you? That changes the whole fraction. Top and bottom have to have same properties to cancel out I'm out...been too long

    OT: Any Math people in here?

    I don't think he's trying to solve for any variable. Just lowest terms--simplify equation. If it were me, I'd go to a math forum. Most of us stop at figuring compression ratios and rpms at a given speed.
