Triumph motorcycles used a copper head gasket, are able to reused after annealing. I never had problems and had MANY (7) Triumph's!
Dennis G. The 302 Ford tstat housing fixes ALL your issues! Not only would it house the tstat but it has a port that could be used for the temp...
For mine the windshield would probably move forward to the line at rear of hood opening, and a slightly shorter wheelbase. The light idea is good,...
Dennis g here is a picture of the style of car I am planning, but with suicide doors and a trunk back. [ATTACH] Picture of body I plan on using....
Maybe 2500 lbs. It will be a two seater "Opera Coupe" style build. Plan on using an aftermarket Model A type chassis with buggy spring suspension...
I don't want to build a "belly button car" with a common engine. The body I have in mind is a 34 Nash trunk back 4 door shortened to a 2 door.
This is the info I was looking for, although just drilling the Merc flywheel seems to make for a HEAVY setup compared to a flexplate. Thinking...
I am a person that "Dares to be different!" In the 80's when everyone was buying new Harley's I bought up their old Triumph parts and bikes. Want...
I was wondering if there were any block mods needed for the automatic.
I live in a densely populated area, a lot of stop and go driving, therefore the need for an automatic. As stated earlier I am retired and the car...
Has anyone put an automatic trans behind the 3.7? What mods were needed? I'm an old fart who doesn't want to shift gears anymore. Retired long...

Here are pics of a head from Summit Racing 429/460 head and the cast manifold. Looks to me as if they will match![ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Have a pic from earlier in this thread of someone using this manifold, can't remember who posted it.[ATTACH]
The Holley Sniper EFI 2300 is a 2 barrel that supports up to 350 HP, that should be more than enough for a street engine. The other mods I...
I was thinking along the same lines, but also boring cam journals for regular cam bearings with an .05 offset to correct timing chain slop. Having...
At first glance they look the same but the Mercruiser gasket is different from Ford because of sealant around cylinder bores. DO NOT USE FORD...
Yes, it matters. The colder coolant enters the cylinder area soaks up some heat then goes into the head. If the cold coolant enters the head first...
Pulling water from the front of the block WILL cause issues. Here is a diagram from Mercruiser for coolant flow. The intake does not need water...
I've been thinking the same thing but using the water pump from a 1960 thru mid 70's Ford 200 CI six. Smaller profile and has only one outlet for...
