How long before he finds a Mk 1 "mystery motor ' 427 for it?
I have done it the same way Doublepumper used. worked quiet well for me also.
Very sad news. My condolences to Mary and the family. Larry would be the person most responsible for getting me into hot rodding. Larry took me...
@Jasper6120 I don't recall what state you are in but you may want to check your states requirements for registration of modified vehicles. I...
I had problems with my SBC eating cam lobes a couple of years ago. Lost 2 in fast succession. The first one failed in 17 minutes still in the...
Hi Baumi, love your build thread. It's good to read a build where you can't just go out and buy the parts and have to make do with what you have....

Well I bent both say bars under my Desoto over 18 years ago and neither have deformed or cracked in that time and it gets driven hard around...
17 minutes of run time on this Enginetech cam from the rock. Replaced it with a sealed Power cam from Rock. It lasted 30 minutes and only took out...
Clik, if you have soccer moms as trophies I will definetly try to attend!
What brakes you running up front? FYI Holden Salisburys are approx. 7.5"dia.
What ratio are you after? You may be better going to a Commodore / Falcon BW 78 as parts for the other 2 aren't that common down here. I have a...
Yeah, a hot rod Lincon! Make shore it's got 12 cylinders!
Forged piston slap?
Go with the t5 and either 3.08 or 3.36 (sounds like holden ratios). I've got a 301 with a Supra 5 speed and 3.36 gears and only use up to 4th...

I liked your original drawing better Vicky, had a more traditional feel to it!
Thoughts from an off road racer. Yes you want a full width baffle. I would go with larger holes to the top and vertical slots at the bottom. The...

Aren't you meant to install the input shaft and main shaft before lifting the counter shaft into position or is that just in the later boxes?
Here's one I've been working on for too long.
Measure the windscreen opening. These have a 12" opening before rubber so are a small view of the world already. I often think of putting a late...
A 14 year old puking after beer, that's traditional!
Damn Danny this is not good. With all of that recovery time you will be on the HAMB forever! Now might be a good time to plan that trip down under...
Number 2 looks best to me but number 3 looks good too. I'm thinking like HRP that if you had a mirror image of number 3 with extra gauges or...
Try Andrews race cars in Sydney (google it). He stocks chrome moly tubing in lots of imperial sizes and is good to deal with. I get all of my race...
Yep, move your wheels back.
My cats patiently waiting on your build thread.[ATTACH]
So simple. I like the use of the thicker filler piece. I'll have to try this.
Sounds really easy until you go to do it. Great idea with the plywood jig for holding shape while welding. Stinks when it burns though!
