with mine, I had to use the auto adjuster and loosen the shoes. They would not let the drum come off. The alternative is to really yank the hell...
Now what kind of a question is that? Where would I put my ratchet while I'm getting a beer? :p Nah, I like the big bumpers, could use some rust...
looks a good bit stronger than ours... I'm not knocking it... mostly cuz people are knocking my big bumpers... lol Looks more functional.
btw, got it fitted this afternoon, close enough I can make up the difference with the primer. Now I've got to take it apart again and get it...
they sure did. there's still a 6 inch 1/4 extension in there too!
If you can be more specific, what am I looking for for the roller retaining holes? I've got a late model block, I'm not sure...
Pertronix and fugetaboutit. I really can't say how well the Pertronix handles high rpms, but it pulls 6800 on my cousin's 289. We might gain...
I think its a good time to show I've actually been working on the old rustbucket... Got the floorpans done, need to weld the bottom of the...
The 260H should give better gas milage, but the power won't be much different. I haven't looked at the XE250, but generally they mix the intake...
I'm betting on the cam. Not that much of a cam to start with. Also, never underestimate the difference a little timing can do. Since you have a...
I thought about the fiberglass thing myself, just because fiberglass doesn't rust. It should outlast me if done correctly. I wound up getting a...
I agree. My vision includes the old torquey V8 smallblock Ford. Nothing like it... However, a certain amount of respect is due for quite a few...
depends 100% on the camshaft. 9.5 on a 280 duration cam, you might get away with 87. Stock cam, better run 93.
Supra TT would be nasty indeed, but the only import motor in mine will be spinning my CD's. :D
Looks good man, nice find. If you do the small bumper conversion, lemme know. That bumper looks nice and shiney, unlike mine... lol
I was talking to someone about this today. Several people trying to sell rustbuckets at a high price because they're rare... yea, rare alright......
You can rebuild it... faster, stronger than ever before... as long as you can walk away from the accident. Don't get too hung up on it, it'll all...
duration vs lift really depends on heads. It takes more duration on stock heads than on aftermarket. Lift over .5 seems to be wasted on stock...
Earl, I'm thinkin 8.5:1, same as ratio411. He beat me to it. ratio411, the 5cc added due to the higher deck is accounted for. Something in the...
The locks would get stuck on my first Comet often. You can bend the rod a bit and fix it, seems there was an adjustment as well. We had to pull...
Separate names with a comma.
