I have some old Monroe matics on my 40 standard #2037. Anybody have a cross reference or specs on old part numbers? Looking to replace them....
Bob, this what I did. It clears the floor As well. For reverse I had to flip the lever so reverse is next to 2nd. But that's all on a Muncie. Hope...
Bob, I put a Muncie in my 40 and did not cut the frame. I made a shifter relocation plate to raise the shifter up and bent the linkage to fit. I...
I believe you are talking about a T&F shifter. No longer made. I have reach out to him a couple times and he is retired. Seems no one took up...
I have done many Muncie cases over the years with good success. Acid dip and then grind in down a bit and re-acid again. Tig weld with the...

I have a tri-power on 2 of my set ups and love them. I agree with Bob that they are easy to tune if you get all the carbs right from the start. I...
For the bottom hose, I used a 57 chevy V8 hose. Had to cut a little but fits great. My top I used a 45deg hose with a straight thermo housing. I...
Good Morning, It looks to me like a Mustang 2 front end that came with disc brakes from the factory. They were 4 lug, small disc rotor. I am not...
Another thought, so called Z28 valve springs, did they come with retainers? Check to make sure the rocker is not hitting the retainer. Change push...
I bought a set of tall finned valve covers for my sbc. I am running a crate motor with stock cam and a tri-power. So after putting the valves...
Lots of good info here on the posts. I have found that the accelerator pump if installed dry (you said it was rebuilt) can rip if the new style...
I have a 40 with Power brakes, disk/drum. I used a 1inch bore vette style MS and a 7in single booster with a adjustable proportioning valve and...
I have used a C3 alt bracket, short pump, with tall finned aluminum valve covers and it worked well. Works with headers as well. they also came on...
What kind of hemi? Stock or after market? I have a Desoto and it came with a carter 4v.
I used CE on my 40. Turned out well. Car drives straight and has a nice ride. I did take the extra time to measure 3+ times and shim to the frame...
I just put a SBC in my 40 standard. I used a Hurst style motor mount and Hooker block huggers, stock steering box and it fit well. Plumbing down...
No difference in ride. Only reason to split them is if you need to take the tunnel out for trans clearance. I run a Muncie, you may have to split...
I like that idea....hmmmm
Thanks for the input.
Definitely keeping them!
Thanks! Never thought to look at truck seats. Sent from my SM-G930P using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Which shifter? Lol. Have not got around to taking the column one out yet. Sent from my SM-G930P using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
These bucket seats came in my 40 Ford and it looks like they were done in the late 70s early 80s, best guess. I have tried to figure out what they...
Blazedogs, You said everything is new? Booster and master cylinder? I ask because some boosters are shipped with a rubber dust cover on the master...
Here is my 40 with stock front end, stock steering. No lowering and has the old ford conversion for late model shocks. It rides well. [ATTACH]
I agree with Alchemy. My 40 rides nice at 65-70 with the stock front end, no drop axle and all new front end parts. Way cheaper then the M11 front...
I just got my 40 on the road. Chassis Engineering parallel springs with a bronco 9in rear and 2.75 rear. May go to a 3.00 at some point. CE stuff...
I have the same set up on my 40 standard. Tube rubs a bit on fender well.
