this is a warning. do not buy a tank from rock auto. i bought one and according to the info, it came with the lock ring and a filler gasket. i didn't get those. i filled out their missing parts nonsense and waited. first email i told them what i was missing and they sent a lock ring kit. nice...

i got a chance to buy a new gas tank for my '63 belvedere about 100 bucks less than all the other ones i see. the problem is it says it's for a '65. from the pic it looks the same and is 15.1 gal like my '63. are they the same?

thanks guys. i got one at classic ind.

where can a guy buy one of these. i asked at the chain store and i don't trust that they even know how to look up a '63 Belvedere.

do you people actually build cars. just re-arc your springs yourself. it's not hard to do. take them apart and use a vice or two boards several inches apart and hit the spring with a big freaking hammer!! i made a tool that uses a bottle jack. easy peezy

i may have come off as a bit of an ***. sorry. it always seems funny when you get replies that are odd. to each thier own i guess. i built a henry j street gasser with fender wheel headers in 2000 and have about 50 some thousand miles on it. i drove it every day for 4.5 years and never had any...

i know most mopar people think these cars are the holy grail. they are not. i build what i want the way i want. if the matching number bs is for resale that's fine. i am 74 and will have this car until i die. so i don't care about resale. i have already had it for 33 years. also, i like to be...

i have a '63 plymouth belvedere with a 440 engine. i want to go fenderwell headers. where can i get a set reasonably priced. thank you

i've got a '63 imperial 413 motor i am going to rebuild hopefully just a re-ring. it will go into my fed. i am aware that the bottom end is the same as the 440 but what i would like to know is why is a rebuild kit so much more for the 413. if everything except the pistons is the same why so...

see that's all i was looking for! thanks. on another note, the reason for this is the 9 inch i was trying to put in it has come with it's own problems. i wanted to use the ford because it had the ratio i wanted. i already had a rebuild kit for the ford too. i know of a place that will respline...

i am not sure you all get what i am saying. all i want to know is, can i put the pumpkin and the axles in the early housing. i know i have to cut and respline the axles. it's just a matter of measuring the early ones and cut the newer ones the same. what is this thrust block? if i use the same...

i have a '63 belvedere with the stock rear end. i know you all will say just get a later rear end and i have several ones too. what i would like to do is use the pumpkin and axles from one and put them into my original. i don't want to have to cut down the later one to match the width of the...

thanks guys for the info. i'll let him know his options.

a friend of mine has a '58 hemi in a '56 ford truck and he asked me if you can change it to a floor shift. the trans is the one that came with the hemi. i kind of remember somewhere i heard that you can but i am old so who knows. i suppose he could change the trans to a late model 727 right?
