take a look at www.mcmaster.com they have several kinds of mounts that will work in an automotive application, and they are a lot cheaper than the...
It's a question of amp draw. You would want at least an 80 amp, but preferably a 100amp alt and make sure the wiring is sized for it as well....
Hi Dan, Tman suggested I contact you regarding a trip Catherine and I are taking to Montana and Alberta this July. I'm looking for salvage yards...
Yes they are faster, yes 49-54 interchange. Get a '54 if you can, it used bearings instead of bushings.
Pinning down the exact year of the block won't change anything regarding buying parts for it. Water pumps and thermostat housings changed over the...
2" pipes. Locate the mufflers wherever they will fit. An oval shaped "turbo" style muffler will give a little deeper mellower sound than...
start over and verify what you really have. 6v flywheel has 139 teeth. 12v flywheel has 168 teeth. once you verify what the flywheel is,...
ZR2 package is wider. All other 4x4 are fine, disc or drum.
Get out your tapemeasure. As to whether or not the tire will clear, that is as much about rim backset as it is rearend width.
How much material has been taken off the head and block? take alot off, and you will want to shim the rocker stands and check for valve to piston...
Narrow belt started in '53. adapting a '53-54 water pump is the better way to go for all the reasons mentioned.
Ever been stuck in traffic for a half hour when it's 90 degrees out?
date code and casting number would help identify the bellhousing using a Hollander interchange manual. As for title and registration, if the car...
Astro is 11". Speedway will work for a 10 1/2". Might be others out there as well.
Are you actually going to be able to get a title and registration for something like that? if you can't, then you won't be driving down the...
any amount of daylight between the flywheel and clutch disc and you are good to go!
Ok, looks like 1958-62 car 235 bellhousing, so we are good on that. With using that in a 1949-54 car, the fork angle is going to be wrong,...
They are both 14 splines. Like Dan said, they are the same except for the shortened collar and shaft tip. Both appear to have the wide Muncie...
That's fine. Just make sure you're using oil impregnated bronze, but I'm sure you knew that. I need a picture because I'm not finding that...
Picture? There is a reason I'm asking...
if you were to measure the tip of the T5 and any 3 or 4 spd that would have been behind that engine, you would find them to be the same diameter,...
no. Jeep used the Ford bolt pattern and a larger diameter bearing retainer.
near as I can remember, its cut out about the same as what's in your avatar. Either you've cut out enough, or you haven't. You should be able to...
I don't have any that would be of much help to you. The car is in deep storage for the winter and it's a problem to go over there right now. Sorry.
Sounds like it needs a tune up. Your problem isn't really the starter, although the starter might be ready for an overhaul. Can't say without...
Yes, and they took more off the tip than they needed to. What are you using for a bellhousing?
I have a '37 Plymouth coupe with a 440 in it. The firewall was recessed back about 2 1/2", and the radiator was moved forward about another 2" to...
The diameter of the gear on the 12 volt starter is smaller than on the 6 volt starter. If the flywheel is still the orginal 139 tooth 6 volt, then...
What exactly are you trying to put together? Some info in this thread isn't entirely pertinent to what you are likely trying to do. You need...
The Fenton headers will work on any 216 235 or 261, as long as they are not the older rare ones that actually bolted up to the bottom of the...
