So I guess this isn't what you mean . . since this won't work :)
I think I could come up with an early Econoline steering box too. They also are side steer and much smaller than even a F100, like I mentioned...
Here's some new pics. This is the Toyota box . and I agree one a bit smaller would look better and offer even more clearance. But the point of...
Of course I'm listening. But I have set my parameters. I don't think you guys read for comprehension. I think you should go back and read my...
You make no sense. Do you understand questions? I need someone to talk me into what engine I use? I can't bring up a fact that was reported wrong...
yeah I've seen them mentioned before, expensive to find.
You don't know your SBFs. They appeared in 1962. So no, that doesn't negate the early 60s build. Matter of fact, it's the focus of it.
I don't like an HEI distributor either . . I just don't get upset with a painted black radiator :) Now left aluminum color . . not for an old...
I understand that , , but the shell covers a lot and they cam be painted black.
Cool, I will check that one out.
There is no truck . .yet. I'm doing a wood cab anyway. I have the cowl, the frame, front axle, etc. I have said many times in this thread, it's a...
Here's some pics from today. I can flip the engine mount and get the mounting point to change by 1" . .front or back. Not a huge change, but could...
That's basically what I want, stock specs, like if it was say a 1962 build. I flipped the firewall, then reflipped the middle so it looks right....
I have a Vega box as mentioned above and in the pics. I just would prefer to not use it. I can't see yours . I do see part of the steering shaft.
Yours is certainly a clean install. The SBF just sits so differently, mount wise, than a SBC. But sitting the steering box on top of the frame...
Correct, but some of those things have been figured, into where it is now sitting. I know you can't tell from my pic . .but I have allowed space...
Well the Hipo manifold I posted a picture of definitely opens up clearance. Issue I see with your engine mount is it is levering all the force off...
I have the engine mocked so it can slide as it is right now. The height is where the mounts would be sitting once welded. The crossmember I...
OK thanks
With a boxed frame, do you set the Vega box "into" the frame, or mount it on the engine side of the boxed frame ?
That's a good picture of what I'm trying to figure . . for sure. They have filled the holes in teh frame, so can't tell exactly where they planted...
yeah, I have certainly seen these . would rather just have one . .
Well, I have held it at different locations . like I'm doing in the pic with the Vega box. I "think" it would be best mounted up top, as was...
I will be fenderless.
That I am afraid of doing. Once the engine is planted, it's planted ( sure anything can move, but I don't want to move it ). So I just want to...
Yes, split wishbones. For the 60s look, I like the side steer. But it seems even with the Vega box, I'll need some articulation to the steering...
Don't want cowl steering :) I'm trying to build an early 60s Rod.
Preface : 1930 Model A Pickup. I would rather have side steer. I have a Toyota box that would do side steer, a Vega box for cross steering and...
A Finex 3000 is a decent gun that sprays slow. Definitely what you want with little experience.
18 :)
