PM sent for core support - thanks!

Looking for the top rail for the radiator core support - original owner hacked mine out. I'm pretty sure the rails are same in big and small rad cars but I need enough to bridge the 26" radiator opening with some length to spare.

Hood is straight and solid with no rust and minimal damage. Just the hood is for sale - the callout/insert, latch, or front trim are not included. I would consider shipping this but I do not make crates professionally so... probably should pick this up if you want it to remain in good condition...

What a BEAUTIFUL BUILD! KEEP UP THE PICTURES! I am considering this exact swap for my '70 RR. Currently running an Edelbrock/rail injected 440/Hurst driveline conversion TKO 600 setup (LOVE THE 5 SPEED!).... I think the $ to HP is about equal until you factor in the cost of retrofitting modern...

Okay - It drives me nuts when threads end without some closure... here are the comparison photos of the problem rockers with some proven factory parts... The major differences seem to be the width of the base of the rocker arm, the size of the shaft hole, and the overall quality of the part... I...

WOW! I thought they looked funny! Sad thing is that they don't show wear - they were made that way.... cheap junk. I found a usable set of OEM for 120.00 that I am going to go with (trying to save the green for the Edelbrocks and rollers). I will post the comparison pics once they get here... I...

You guys rock! I agree - side loading valves is a bad idea! I thought maybe the rockers may have been installed incorrectly too but .... Reversing them still puts one of them off.... hmmmm... Pictures below show the gap I'm talking about and the wear pattern on the shaft - the rocker groove...

Thanks for the feedback! I was thinking worn parts too but I don't have any stockers laying around to compare them with. I did experiment with re-arranging the rockers - no success.... Shimming them back and forth only made some better and some worse... You can see the witness marks on the...

MY FIRST POST! I have found lots of help here – maybe I can be of help for someone else…. I need a group opinion. I recently bought a new (old) toy. I trust very little of the previous owners work. The 440 wasn’t running to my standards so off came the heads for inspection and cleaning and out...
