My 70 RR has this all-drum configuration right now, but have a Dr Diff front disc brake upgrade ready to put on. Staying with manual brakes for now, but may upgrade to power if it's an issue for me to stop the car.

Delta's DC-3 Ship 41 is my sentimental favorite. My father flew this for Delta back in the 50's, I have his log books with the 41 tail number entered, and many years later my son in CAP at the time guarded the ship during a local Peachtree City, GA air show and got a free ride back to its home...

Gato-class? :poke: Thank you for your service.

Are you coming from an automatic or already had a 4 speed? I have mine about half way converted to a manual; pedals hung, steering column swapped, cheap Hurst auto shifter in the floor and with my current plans to go back to original auto on the column it may be less work to go with the TKX...

Well, my 70 Roadrunner outran every other car I ended up racing including a 429 Mach 1, built 351C Mach 1, 454 Chevelle, 455GS Buick, etc. I rebuilt the motor with a strong "3/4 Race" Crane Cam, TRW Pop-up Pistons, Hooker Headers, Cheetah valve body in the 727 Auto and 3.91 rear gear. That's...

I'd say a little prayer of thanks on that one! Just a little scary finding soon to be disasters like that!

I have a Gears Vendor unit to go in the bird, I'll be interested to see if you're able to track down your issue, hopefully without pulling the O/D. Good luck.

Just an f.y.i. 440Source recommended a std gasket saying the all steel ones don't do well over time between and iron block and the aluminum heads. At least that's what they told me 5-6 years ago when I ordered mine. Love the thread.

When Is Your First Day To Mow The Lawn? Mondays. It grows year round down here!

So I've got a new set of MP .96 bars to go on the Bird, am I going to notice that big a difference than the 1.03 bars many here are happy about? Also have new FF XHD rear leafs and FF .75 rear sway bar to go on as well. Thx

Nice looking parts for sure!

I'm more comfortable with the shorter stroker cranks, too. 3.75 or 3.91 is the longest I'd like to go with this numbers matching block. I know a lot of people say I should just pull it and find a 400 or 440 block, but for me that's not the plan. Maybe I'll just put pistons in it and run...

Thanks for the info, I think at this point I'm either going to have to go headers or switch cams because I'd rather keep the stroke reasonably on the small side, just personal preference.

Thanks for the link, I had read that several years back but still a good reread and I've got it bookmarked now.

One of my former clients, FIS in Little Rock, is a great company. Folks seemed reasonably happy to be there. Not a sweat shop at all which is a concern now days.

My mother bought the exact same car at Lenox Dodge in Atlanta in 1969 except hers was a beautiful bronze gold color. I still have the 70 Roadrunner I bought used in 74 but it's been sitting so long not sure what it's going to take to get it running at this point. We lived around Atlanta until...

10 degree lobe separation on the cam, appreciate the advice on the cam. Would be willing to buy more cam if I went with the 4.25 stroke. Thanks

That's awesome, would be very happy with numbers even close to yours!

And that's why I know I don't need to go Hog Wild with the 383 and am looking at a Middle Of The Road path. Doesn't have to be the top HP/TQ, just hoping for a little more than stock while keeping the main parts of the motor together with the rest of the car.

That's kind of what I'm thinking as well, Thanks.
