I think I am needing a 1310 to s44 conversion joint. I know I can order this, but I have a local Auto Zone, Oreillys, and Advance all open...
Here is the trans mount for the t5 I made up. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Are all the McGurk intakes set up this way?
I’ve heard that before but haven’t come across one yet.
It’s in. And that’s it for me tonight.[ATTACH]
So I couldn’t find any info on if a t5 would fit in a convertible frame with the huge x member. Turns out it will fit but you need to pull the...

Right you are. It will get 15" bias up front after I locate some wheels.

Bought a 28/29 roadster last week. It needs some rough stuff massaged and replaced but it’s a good start. It does have a sweet running flathead in...

Here’s more. I don’t have the skills that a lot of y’all do but this should be good after some seam sealer and a coat of paint.

It runs better than ever. And not leaking yet at least. I’m gonna roll with it until I have time to swap for my full pressure 235.
I used the metered fitting from under the pushrod cover at the T so it’s just the perfect trickle like it should be.
I’ve gone full red neck on you boys. Tied into the oil pressure gauge line and now have oil to the rockers. I have an backwoods plan for the seal...
Wow! So aggressive It’s apart now but it’s 15 at idle now. When revved it goes to 30. I think cruising was around 15 but would like to check that...
For sure. I have several full pressure 235s sitting in the racks waiting to transplant. I just hated how great this engine runs otherwise.
