The Jalopy Journal
Hey hey from Haskell.. (May as well call it Benton) AR. I don't post much, just search and read a lot.
I sold a '65 Nova a good number of years back. It was in my dads shop at the time and I couldn't be there when he picked it up. Needless to say he...
Nope. You're not alone. My pops had a handful of muscle cars way back. 3 R/T chargers that I'd love to have now. Endless stories of drag racing...
And thats why I turn here for things I can't figure out. Thank you HenryJ and everyone else that's helped me out on this.
I appreciate it. I'm not sure why I'm even making it such an ordeal anymore. They're going in a low buck build that's come from 2nd hand parts...
The P on the end is what made me think Speed Pro or Sealed Power... I have no idea anymore.
Sorry if they're big. I'm working off my phone here. One has 252 stamped on top other than 1802P. They all have 0.60, but thats just the 60 over...
I'll see if I can find another number. But I don't recall any other stampings. Was also wondering if they may have been a set from some kind of...
Maybe I'm missing something on them. I've only found one result searching for them and its not the best in the world. Was on some chevelle site....
I didn't think they were forged either. But I couldn't pass the deal up on that set and rod combo. I'll try to get a picture of them this...
They're supposed to be forged TRW's but the part numbers just don't seem right for TRW. They are 454, 60 over domes. 1802P stamped up top. I think...
I have a Yates built 351C with 2V Aussie heads in a non HAMB friendly '93 Mustang with a world class 5 speed. I bought it all awhile back, have...
What year Volare and was the swap pretty hard?
I need a way back machine so I can have a free car 6 years ago.. today... like quantum leap.. or I would just settle to have the sound effects of...
Well it has about 2500 miles on a rebuild. It was used in the woods as a hunting buggy so they didn't care about the title. They take pretty good...
Thanks man. I'll look into George Reids book. Does it give a rough list as to what will swap on a small ford?
Can any of you recommend a good performance book for small block fords? I just came in to a solid 351w out of a 1990 Eddie Bauer Bronco.. well I...
Yep, the whole car and boxes of parts. No delima... just waiting to see how bad he really wants it before I let it go. To be honest its kind of...
I don't care how much Lysol is left in that bottle... it ain't enough! :eek:
West of Alltel... I was thinking Jones Heavy haul, Oakley, or that bulk tanker outfit but I think thats East... or are you at a shop? By the...
My mistake, I was thinking '65 was the first year for 5 lug. The guy I mentioned is wanting the whole car. Something about his first car was a '65...
Thats not bad. I saw there was a "Nickey" subframe on egay. I didn't know that Nickey Chev made a Nova gasser front clip.
I was wondering how common the 283/PG setup was in 65's. I know its the first year for 5 lug hubs on a Nova. Apparently its worth something, a...
Not bad, not bad at all! What are you running these days?
Thats what I'm talkin about.....
Well I work for the railroad and I've been known to break the hell outta knuckles off rail cars now and then... maybe they should have thought...
Thats no joke about the nickle and dime part. I have a ton of left over parts from projects to get this one 75% done. I haven't set foot in the...
I didn't know there was a state group! I'm in Malvern Ar. About 30 minutes South of Little Rock. BTW 1stGrumpy, I wanna see pictures of that big...
How early? This is my first dive into a straight axle car, so I'm not sure what will fit under the car width wise.
Aye I'm the new guy. Planning on building a lowbuck gasser... Lowbuck and gasser shouldn't even be allowed in the same sentence but we're gonna...
