Nevermind.

My father recently got what appears to be a cast iron, Mexican-made 1974 smallblock bellhousing. He wants to use it behind a 351W, but neither of us are sure if it needs a 157t flywheel or a 164 and we don't have any known bells to compare it to. Anyone familiar with this casting? Full number is...

Better than a year ago my passenger window jammed, fortunately in the closed position. Today I thought I would try to see what got stuck, but it turned into a hassle as these "quick" projects usually do. After drilling out the three screws that hold the window rail onto the regulator track, I...

Don't throw anything at me yet! Believe me, I searched and searched and searched. What I found was lots of swap info and articles pertaining to '65-66 Mustangs and little info for '67+, most of it being ambiguous or incomplete. I'm asking because I don't have a place to put a torn-apart car...

I noticed a while back that there is a Special Production forum. Just now I got the wild hair to finally ask.....does the SVO count as a Special Production Mustang? How about the '79 Indy Pace Car? The "7 Up" convertibles, perhaps? Boss Mustangs maybe? Who could forget the California Special? I...

I have concluded that the search function on this site sucks half the time. I spent the last hour looking through old threads for an answer on this because I know it's been covered before, but kept getting hundreds of unrelated hits. It seriously needs the use of boolean operators and quotation...

...in the form of an H-pipe. :) I cobbed together a Shelby-copy exhaust because it was fast, cheap, and easier than a full system. The neighbors were getting restless about me cruising around with open headers, so I had to do something. I got a pair of Thrush 24" glasspacks, some 2.5" tube...

This is something I have searched and read quite a lot about, but none of the 100+ articles, books, and threads I scoured directly addressed this. I even have the Haynes Holley rebuild/tuning book and it doesn't either. Anyway, my mechanical 650dp wasn't holding a steady idle; it would slowly...

As some people may know, LACR is destined to be closed down permanently....likely in the next several months. There is a movement going on right now to keep that from happening. I'd like to see it stay open so I don't have to go all the way to Bakersfield or Pamona for drag racing...

The HX/HY35/HE351 Holsets seem to be the bee's knees with a number of smller displacement engines like our 2.3s, Mitsubishi 4G63s, etc. However, what about the step above that? I'm still enjoying the euphoria from getting a "mystery" H1E for far less than the HX35 going price. It's in spanking...

A couple hours ago I picked this up: Yeah, it's a 460. :D It has a Performer 460 manifold on it, was rebuilt not long before being tossed outside, and has/had at least a gallon of rainwater in it. I started tearing it down and got hopeful when I saw crosshatching and minimal bore corrosion...

I'm exploring the possibility of making a set of negative wedge plates out of stainless, but I don't have a set to get dimensions from. Does anyone have an uninstalled set they could some dimension off of for me?

I have been looking for some 15" Vintage Wheel Works "Vintage 48" wheels and caught wind that a wheel division of Kelsey-Hayes might have produced something similar in that height. However, I can find no Kelsey-Hayes site and only 12 year old defunct references to the wheel division, Western...

Well, it's probably not as fast as this one: http://www.yellowbullet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15125. Click on the word "BuzzSaw" under where it says "here's a vid...". :nice:

My transmission is used as was the the old yoke I tried. However, before it went in my car, it got a smallblock input shaft, new synchros, and new seals(home installed). I had a problem with the tailhousing seal leaking and it coated the underside of my car with oil. I broke down and bought a...

I have a late '70s 351W shortblock laying around in pieces that is just collecting dust. My Edelbrock-headed 302 is pretty fast, but I built that with smog in mind when I had my '89 GT. Now that I have the '68 , I'm wishing I'd gone more agressive on the build. Since getting the '68 the "man"...

Instead of TTs, I'd like to get some Vintage 48s like Vintage Wheel Works offers, but I want them in 15". The smallest I normally see is 16"+. Does VWW offer a 15" version and if not, does anyone else have the same style wheel in a 15 inch size?

I mainly need some new 11 x 2" drums and even the best brake supply in town doesn't have any part numbers listed...at least for that early of a year. The rear is a small-bearing 9" out of a '57-58 Custom 300. Does anyone here know what other cars or trucks used the same part? The later the...

When I put the clutch pedal and associated hardware in for the Toploader swap, I of course had to punch out the hole for the pedal-to-z-bar rod. Knowing this could be trouble later, I made to sure to have the little rubber boot handy and installed it. The problem is that this rod is so...
