Oh man! That is really hard to hear. It sounds like he is pretty busted up, and lucky to be alive. My prayers are with him and you. It looks like the crush zones on his truck did their job to save his life. Kinda takes the shine off your new paint job. Sorry for your friend.
When I pulled my heads down last year on my 440 in my '67 R/T, I found shims under the rocker shafts. I had this engine rebuilt about 35 years ago by a reputable local builder. This guy was well known in the area for building performance engines. I figured he shimmed the the rocker shafts to get...
I used to get smaller diameter dual diaphragm boosters out of Dodge B-vans. Pop the hood and there it is on a right angle bracket. The booster nuts are easily accessible. No more climbing around under car dashes.
Roll that pushrod on a piece of glass or your countertop to see if it is truly not bent. They don't have to be bent much, to start acting like a spring.
I had a '62 Chrysler 300H 2X4 inline setup on a 426 Street Wedge in a Polara 500 convertible that I used to own. It was great eye candy, and never failed to draw onlookers. However, I thought the single 750 cfm. Eddie that was on my 440 in my 1967 R/T felt a lot crisper.
You will need to notch a box out in your passenger side inner fender for the right side intake and carb to fit in. I had replaced the 313/3-speed manual with a 383/4-speed in my '62 Dart about 55 years ago (yeah, I'm a dinosaur!), and I was offered this setup for $75.00 back then. I did some...
I am glad to see you are rescuing a '67 R/T convertible. There were relatively few of them produced. It sure looks like you have a lot of work ahead of you. The work already completed looks great. I have a '67 R/T hardtop that came from N.C., and was almost rust free. I know I don't have the...
Does that crank have the extended rear portion where the flange is not threaded, but the flywheel is attached with studs and nuts? If it does, the measurement from the back of the block to the crank flange is going to be different. You might have to use a '62-up crankshaft in it.
You could try Jim Kramer right there in PA. He sells pretty well all the same repro parts that Joe does, plus he has used parts as well. I have bought from him before and he is a solid guy to deal with. He knows his Super Stock stuff.
Just a side question; I don't want to derail thread. One of the posters referred to face on Canadian radios, so my question is; were SuperBees and RoadRunners that sold in Canada built at Windsor? I thought these cars were all built in U.S.
I didn't actually install them myself. A friend of mine has a body shop and is a very good fabricator. He welded them in, as well as welding in new trunk floor and fabricating new outer edges of rear wheelwells. Some guys weld about a foot of them in, and leave a foot unwelded, and on and on. My...
Good luck with your new '64 Sport Fury convertible project. It sounds like you have a plan. With that brute of a motor you are building, I would suggest weld-in sub-frame connectors. I got the U.S. Car Tool ones from Mancini's. They are contoured to the floor pan, and weld to it as well as the...
