A spinning part can weigh more but if its balanced the same all its doing is adding inertia. I think any 351C balancer will work as long as its the 28 oz. imbalance variety. If I remember correctly the difference between the Boss and non-Boss flywheels is the Boss used a larger clutch so the...

That sucks! I have no faith in any flex fan and will never use one. I had a freind who had one fail on his freshly painted International pickup. Two blades came off, one went through the side of the hood the other straight through the top, tore through the metal like a can opener. Be thankful...

Yes I have. I deserve a larger discount. Sold the intake on Ebay. I have not sold anything on there in a while, it cost me $90+ to sell it, that seems excessive...

Ha, thanks. I was kicking around building a vintage looking small block for a 56 Ford I had but that never materialized so this stuff has been sitting around for years...

Neat vintage Edelbrock cross-ram intake, pair of Holley list # 9776 450 CFM carburetors and linkage kit. I haven't used any of this stuff, bought for a project engine that never materialized. Intake: $850 SOLD Carbs: $550 Linkage: $100 Items are in SE Michigan, of course prices are OBO!

Glad the issue got corrected. Its always good to hear what the root cause was, especially when so many ideas were thrown out there.

Unfortunately I have no idea, I haven't been down this road before. I quick Amazon search turned up this, for the amount of reviews it has it still has a very high rating...

While the answer to #1 is 'yes,' to Fabrice's point- is the seat cover material strong enough to use after the repair? The vinyl looks dry and brittle, I would be concerned that it would just tear or fail somewhere else after you spent time fixing that area. For #2, I think the foam was...

There's probably a tool & die shop or small machine/ fab shop local to you that could make them up for you for probably $100 give or take. If you could whip up a simple drawing and show them a photo they could probably wing it from there. I'm lazy, sometimes paying a little bit more and getting...

I can't find anything exactly like what you need but this seems close albeit with no details on bar size or fastener size: https://howeracing.com/collections/stabilizer-anti-sway-bars/products/sway-bar-eyelet-clamp-rear-rr Howe is a traditional roundy-round racer hardware supplier, I wouldn't...

Nothing fits like OEM, and those look nice enough. Plus you won't be paranoid about damaging them. Looking good!

Congrats! It must feel great to hear it run after so long...

My $0.02 on the lift question is to be honest about how you will use it. If you use it to work on stuff then get a two-post. If you don't get into a lot of stuff then the drive-on provides an extra parking spot (although I have parked my 71 on the lift, raised, over the winter). I have a Rotary...

I would suggest to keep calling them. Since Covid they have been struggling and it takes a few tries to get hold of them.

H is August right? I would have to guess that the foundry would have started casting blocks and heads in May or June in order for the pipeline to be full of engines to support building cars mid-July.

Your car looks great! I wish I had realized that Marti did buck tags, I would have gotten one for my car when I had him make me a new VIN tag for the dash!

Check Ebay. There's usualy a couple 429 cars on there. Not exactly a real value as most times they are dealer offerings. Wherever you decide to list it you will get asked about whether or not the engine and trans are original to the car. Obviously the original VIN stamped block and trans will...

I wouldn't hesitate to put some healthy tacks on it to hold it in place. Just hit it with a wet rag after you weld and it will be fine.

H-pipe is a more tradiational sound, X-pipe will sound like a late model V8. @turtle5353 whoever installed your exhast did anawesome job. Kit or custom?

They are only original once. In my opinion a good condition, original paint car has much more value than a fresh re-spray, even if the re-spray is good quality. You can hide a lot of nasty things under fresh paint... @Nightbeacon your convertible looks great!
