Two freeze plugs on a 400 is a plus to the right buyer. Especially a racer running under a 360 or so cubic inch rule. Use an internally balanced...
Under the hood reminds me a lot of the Saturday afternoon thrash to get to the races...just make it work, we'll clean it up later. Looks like...

Maybe some pics would help. 56 F100 was a popular setup to run at one time. Good Luck
I thought the 352 was done after 67, could be wrong. I know the 360 was available in 68. I seem to remember that a lot of the blocks had a 352...
I've never been around anybody for any length of time or read any book that I didnt learn something from, but at the same time most books are out...
Try moving the spark advance up and down a few times. You may wind up with the distributor apart and check the connections underneath the top...
I was riding with my buddy to the flea market and I wondered this same thing. They built one of those franchised collision repair places near us....
If you plan to put it together and forget about it, clean it all with brake cleaner, a little RTV around the gasket and blue loctite on the bolts....
So I gathered. I missed the part about why use the wrong oil pan. My neighbor used to drag race a Chevy II in IHRA Super Stock. They had a home...
For years racers went to a lot of time and effort to put windage trays where there were none. Why would you do away with something you get for...
I didnt realize these were so plentiful. I'm sure there were plenty of people that set them up in the back yard and got them right, but I'd say...
When they ran the 427 FE in NASCAR I'm fairly sure they were running dual point distributors. You'd probably be hard pressed to find one today,...
A better flowing , lighter weight head. I'm curious to know if anybody has real numbers comparing the weight of aluminum heads and intake vs the...
Anybody know what year they went from rating gross at the crank to net at the wheels? I was thinking early 70's but I dont really know for sure. I...
I cant really help on the inverter technology, mine is an old transformer type Millermatic 200 that I paid what was to me a lot of money back in...
I see a rack of wheels in the background. Lay down one under each wheel and ease it back down. Good Luck.
No truer words have ever been spoken. Build a hopped up A Model? It will easily outrun the brakes. The worst tow rig I ever drove was Pop's Short...
Sounds like a well-thought-out combo. Surprised you sold it. I've rolled something very similar around in my head for years, even found a 57...
There was a place in Spartanburg, SC that had a little of everything, Spartan Automotive. In the main building car and pickup parts were when you...
If you're lucky @carbking might chime in. Otherwise I'm just watching
I ve had pretty good luck with the wheel and grill cleaner mentioned above, and a pressure washer. That stuff is a mild acid. Oven cleaner, Lye,...
As Squirrel stated, aluminum rods have a fatigue life. Most pros running them keep track of run time and trash them on a set schedule, or so Ive...
One that I have is boards bolted to metal stanchions that some PO welded in the holes in the bed. I'd always heard them called sideboards...
I saw a guy on youtube, always took at least 1 of his 12V TOOLS To The U-PULL-IT to use for testing stuff. South Main Auto channel. All late model...
Amen to these. I was trying to get the yoke off the back of a SM465 with my air wrench, it would'nt do it. Borrowed my son-in-law's 18V Milwaukee,...
I never cared much for the Lowriders/Hoppers, but I for a long time have wanted to spend an afternoon crawling around under one to see exactly how...
Added to flatbeds to make it a box. Usually removable, unless some idiot welds them in.
Thanks to all for the info. Saw some new things. Following along.
