I sure do like both the Grabber Blue, and the Wimbledon White. It's very cool to see people's project cars get to the painting stage of reconstruction. It's such a big step, when it's your car. Love all the photos.

I agree with mrgmhale , just an opinion. As you were......

You're in the right place! Welcome aboard from Boise Idaho !

There's also S.I. Valves. They stock all makes, from standard replacements, to many upgrade levels, to full out racing valves, and their prices are right. For many years, when I built engines at Valley Head Service, the head of the cylinder heads department would often order from S.I. Valves...

HE'S going to fix 'er up someday??????? Oh, so he's a master bodyman, he's a master engine man, he knows every inch of that car and what is right and wrong, He's done all of that work before, many, many, many times, so much so that his proficiency is "off the charts"????????? My sarcastic...

Well, as you guys know, I own dragboats. the engine (s) are often run on the trailer sans water when making checks and adjustments. The engine will also be warmed up on the trailer before putting it in the water, and purposely leaned out at the holding rope to build heat, prior to making an...

The current engine is stock, and as such, has the stock 5/16" bolted down, fixed position, "sled type" pivoted rockers, and stock pushrods. Nothing wrong with that, they've taken me thousands of miles with no issues. However, since I've got access to machine shop work, it was a no brainer to go...

I got it from Eastwood, but I think you can Google them and buy direct, or from many other sources.

Thanks Chuck and Tony. My intent is not really for big power ,....though power is always nice. Mostly I wanted to improve on the oiling a bit, have more efficient chambers, and improve longitivity. The way I drive, like an old Grandmother, it should be my last build, as the engine that's in it...

I'm planning on having the trans gone through, after transplanting the engine. I'll have the trans shop R&R the trans , that way I can concentrate on the engine and compartment, then drive to the shop, and let them drop it from below. When I was 20 years old I thought nothing of lying on my back...

Interesting, in that it appears the "hockey stick" body stripes, and trunk stripe was painted on, and now wearing away.

At this point, I've got rockers on order, and I'll be mocking up with a checking pushrod, to find the lengths necessary for this new set up. Smith Bros will get the order for the pushrods. I'm still waiting for the bronze alloy distributor drive gear as well, to go with the roller cam blank...

This is the induction for the new build. The Intake Manifold is one of three prototypes cast by Edelbrock, way back when Ford first introduced the Clevelands, and carries no part number or Edelbrock's logo. I got it some years back, when Edelbrock closed their West Coast shop to be absorbed into...

Hydraulic roller tappets are Johnson Hydraulic Rollers. I have a good friend who is a Rep for Johnson, as well as having used Iskendarian roller cams, which are supplied with Johnson's rollers, and I have never had tappet related issues. I noticed that the oil baffles in the rocker covers...

It's getting closer. The valve job is finished new bronze guides, and PC seals, and the heads are assembled, using all new single lock valves from SI Valves. The springs, retainers, and locks, are Competition cams, and are what they call out to use with their camshaft, which is a roller grind. I...

I've owned my Mach for 34 years now, and I've thought about putting custom wheels, mag wheels, Magnum 500s, etcetera, on it for most of those years. But, I've refrained from changing out the original wheels. I've grown to like the vibe..

The beauty of Bullitt and the '73 Gone movie is that those movie cars really did those stunts and returned for more, ( albeit the cars needed constant repairing due to the severity of damage incurred). The Nicholas Cage movie car, to me, is a joke. They should have at LEAST made the movie car to...

Last week we had 4/26 day, and 4/27 day. one could say good days for 426 wedges and Hemis, and 427 Fords and Chevys, although.........technically, if you work out the 427s cubic inches using the B x B x S x .7854 x no. of cylinders........The formula for determining cubic inches, you'll find the...

Not a Ford part, to be sure,.........toss it. Likely added by someone over complicating a circuit not functioning correctly, so instead of fixing it, they added on to it. Those people scare me.

Yeah, I'm hip, just go to Lowes or Home Depot, and try to by something NOT made in China. Even brand new American cars are built with outsourced parts. I'm not going to say my view on when and where this took a wrong turn, but Politics are at the stem of it. Worse yet, there are people here that...
