Re: 64/65 Comets old drag cars lets see pictures
It seems now, that there were many small issues, of which may have been caught early on if I were more Ford savvy. The trans case was early C-4, but the bellhousing was a swapped in later unit, which led me to believe it was a larger size flexplate, which in turn made me order the incorrect converter. We balanced a large style flexplate with the engine, so yesterday, Bill Mizia sourced a small flexplate, and the correct bellhousing, and everything bolted up very smoothly with no hassles. It only took two weeks. Like I said, a steep learning curve.....

Re: 64/65 Comets old drag cars lets see pictures
Can anyone recall the name of the company that makes the replacement rear transmission crossmember for our early C-4's? I recall a picture of one sometime in the past. I"ve had to modify the original stock one, with some new rubber. Well, actually old rubber that was cannibalized from the stock front suspension!!! It actually fit quite well!! Go figure.

Re: 64/65 Comets old drag cars lets see pictures
Steve;it seems EVERY 64-65,V-8 powered Comet has a hipo 289 in it!!!! I like the ads that say,"original hipo with auto,ac,power brakes and power steering"!! I've done alot of research on these Comets and as far as I can tell none had any add ons,besides the engine,a 4-speed and a 9" rear,bolt-in tower braces and single exhaust,among a few other tell tale items. JMO,ROY.
