I have two C6's for my 460 install, both came from column shifted land yachts. What components will I need to convert on the trans to accommodate the OE '71 floor shifter?

I have a 1974 production 460 bottom end with C8 heads. My Dad had assembled it 15+ years ago with a #10340496LK Lunati Bracket Master (mild) hydro flat cam that I bought for it. For the life of me, I can't remember if I bought valve springs at the same time, later, or not at all. The springs...

Hi all, It's been a while, but I still have and am working on my '71 "lifetime" Sportsroof project. Basically wondering if there have been any new header offerings in the past few years for a 460/C8 heads w/dished piston/Performer intake/Lunati Bracket Master/C6 combo. I searched here but...

I haven't checked on this subject in quite a while... Wondering if there have been any introductions of new headers for TJ applications in the past few years. I live in Pittsburgh, and that pretty much rules out low slung tubes like the Hookers or Crites due to the mine fields and corn rows that...

I have 2 OE Ford intakes, one square bore and one spreadbore. They both have been out in the weather for a long time, but seem to be functional. Yes there is pitting everywhere. No, I do not see any cracks or stripped threads. Maybe one of these will hit the date code lottery for you. Free to...

I have a sentimental set of headers that need to find a new home. These were used on my high school car, a 1973 Gran Torino Sport fastback with a transplanted 351W automatic. They were used when I got them back in 1982. I'd guess that they probably are Cyclone or Blackjack brand, and the...

After all of these years, even being indoors, they are unsuitable for anything but static display. They have been in my family since the mid-70's. I believe that they are NOS. If I'm not mistaken, they are dated 1972 by the code. They have the earliest version bias ply style tread design with no...

I have quickly searched, but to no complete success. These old Blue Streaks have been in the family for a looooong time, on the magnesium daisy wheels shown. Can anyone date them for me? I gathered that the "JU" means 1969, but do not know the rest. Also would be interested in knowledge on the...

I have a small bell C6 for sale, advertised in Pittsburgh craigslist. http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/pts/5360807660.html Sorry, but I can't remember much about the details or what's done inside it. It has been in the family since my teenage years (35 years +/-), sitting in dry storage. Was...

As seen in pictures. Intake supposedly sat on a garage stored engine for decades, without the previous owner knowing that there was water in it. Appears to have been bead blasted, showing pits inside the runners, underneath and on gasket faces. Externally it looks great. Plenum divider has...

Is anyone friendly with this site member from Atlanta? I paid for a part back on March 9, haven't received it nor the requested refund after repeated message exchanges. Wondering if he's OK, or other. Thanks, Pete

Car currently has 4 speed pedals in it. Can I simply remove the clutch and brake pedal, and reinstall the auto brake pedal? Or will it require the bracket to be swapped as well?

As title states, I do not know who made these plates. They've been installed, but the aluminum and candy clearcoat is in nice shape. Tube threads all appear to be in nice shape as well. Venturies appear to be tapered a bit. They measure 7/8" thick each. If anybody has any info about them...

Mechanical race style pump for Windsors. Got a couple of them years ago from a used NASCAR parts warehouse, and I believe they're from Robert Yates' shop. They're lightly engraved with "RYR", "Qual", and some other hard to read numbers that might be a serial or control number. There's nothing...

A little unexpected bump in the project road... I have a late model (1997) 5.8 bottom end from a truck. Engine, of course, came with fuel injection and serpentine belt system. Looking to retrofit it into my '71 with carburetion. I am going to use the serp belt in order to modernize the...

So, here I am plodding along with my '71 redo. Many years ago I bought a tilt column to exchange for the fixed unit. Old column is out, and of course I check for compatibility... curved plug is different, bigger... and progress screeches to a halt. Tilt column is what I assume is a '73. Sigh...

Some time back, I thought I remembered reading that the chrome 18" lids were available repro, but cannot find them in the usual online suppliers catalogs. Am I not looking in the right places, or still at the mercy of the rechromer?

I acquired a few sets of used alloy valve covers recently. Has anybody had success with cleaning the baked on carbon from the insides of valve covers, oil pans, engine blocks or lifter valleys? Sure, I can use a wire brush or similar, but looking for non-mechanical means here. Over the years...

Has anybody tried this? I want to use AN fittings and braided SS line with the stock sending unit. Is there an adapter that can be slipped over the bulbed end of the sender and tightened, or a solder-on piece? I've found adapters to go from EFI to AN, but not carbed to AN. Looking to stay...
