I dig it. I drive by a '60 exactly like that in someones yard every day I take my boy to school.. One of these days I'll stop and ask about it.....
If you clean it really well and use a couple of coats you'll be golden.. Think about it.. these frames just came with basic paint from the factory...
If you clean it up good enough I think it will be ok.. It's lasted 51 years with no rustoleum or POR-15 at this point so cleaning it up and...
I've got 3.5" drop mono's on the front of mine and it rides pretty well.. just make sure you get a decent drop shock and trim the bump stops a...

56, I'm with fauj, both my 58 and 59's driveshaft sit like that.. you have to remember a ford 9" center section isn't exactly centered.. Not a...
Good question.. The 390 in my 59 takes forever as well and I know i have a thermostat cause I installed it.. I have the same set-up you do as well...
Tim I say leave it as is and just put a couple coats of clear to protect it.. Even though it's in it's infancy as a race truck, it kinda has that...
I do everyday, thank you..
Guess maybe I'm lucky.. This actually isn't the first time my girlfriend has dragged me kicking and screaming to somewhere I ended up loving.....
I hope I did as much as he made mine.. I love meeting and talking with the guys that lived in the hey-day of the hot-rod era.. And I hope that...
I know.. I ended up getting Ice Cold Beer for free so that was a bonus too :)
So I had my Saturday all planned out, yard-work, Shop work, then ice cold beer (in no particular order) when my girlfriend makes me stop mowing...
do yourself a favor and buy a 180 deg. stat and a 160 deg. stat and try them both out.. You have to remember that a Y has two exhaust valves right...
No I've got more parts than that.. I have about enough factory engine parts to build 3 Y's, then a stash of stuff I'm saving to build a decent Y...
Ha.. That happens alot.. Just look at the PT cruiser and a Chevy HHR.. The same guy that designed the PT left Chrysler.. Then got a job with GM.....
And did the carb work stop the smoking? If not try the PCV valve..
If you can do a thread search there was a pretty long thread called "Y blocks in hot rods" that had some sweet lookers in it.. (BTW i am still...

Yeah and if you read your History the scenario played out in that movie actually happened.. Not the first time "OUR" government decided they...

Not Really.. The only close to OT ride on the first page is a 66 Ford but it has the same body from 61-66 so it's covered in the exceptions.. Not...
oh ok.. if you guys need space for his stuff PM me and i'll see if I can help out..
Where in MO is this happening? I have family in Novely, MO out in the sticks with some property.. I can see if they wouldn't mind storing some stuff..
Really man, was that last part necessary? It takes longer than five minutes to do it properly and since I didn't have the time to do it right I...
Thanks man.. It's a C4SE casting and it looks to be set up just like the first illustration except the hose goes directly into the air cleaner..
Ok starting to think the intake manifold gaskets may be the culprit here.. trimming them down right now to even the surface up right now but I had...
nope it does come out of the back of the manifold.. So that's not how it's supposed to be huh? Sorry to sound retarded but this is the first FE...
