I don't think the floor shift was available until the V8 was an option, but not 100% sure.
Jim, if you are still looking for pedals I am swapping out the manual pedals in my sons car as he decided to go with an automatic trans.
Was the #8 valve still locked into the valve spring or were the keepers dislodged? A dropped valve could have been the beginning of the train...
The 3550 output shaft is same as SB Toploader. The TKO has a larger diameter shaft.
The ignition timing may have been really early and caused a shock in the rotating assembly strong enough to break the pin.
The TKO is quite a bit stronger than the T5. It's based on the Ford Toploader design.
That's a sweet deal.
Welcome to the forum. Quite a few guys here are putting together drag cars.
I agree with Paul, he's got good taste!
Sounds like either the crank key or camshaft pin has sheared. Offset key ways are weak and prone to failure.
Rock Auto will give you 3 or 4 brands and quality levels to choose from.
They will fit.
The 2.5 oval magna flows will fit under the car better. I ran them on my big block 62 F100 and they were plenty loud.
Another possibility if you are running a mechanical fuel pump is a weak or broken diaphragm spring.
The C4 and Toploader should use the same crossmember.
I would guess your losing the lobe.
My sons car will be running by next weekend but it's a far cry from a show car.
Nope, they are different.
