    Beware of member "jude004" scammer

    Sounds more like a person who "fat fingered" a computer key or two, rather than a scammer.

    B/RB Trans....

    Exactly what are you looking for? Early BB cable shift or later model lever operated?

    The Edelbrock Foundry, when did San Jacinto, CA become "overseas"?

    I bought my MP452 heads (Eddy's with straight plugs) specifically because they are made in the USA.......like me. Being proud of America and of American craftsmanship may be old fashioned, but I, for one, am willing to spend the extra few dollars for the best.

    Vacuum line to transmission question

    With a 273, the trans should be a 904. No vacuum lines on either a 904 or a 727. Throttle pressure is felt by the trans through a linkage going to the carb.

    1 thing after another LOL

    I have found that with machine shop prices being what they are, you're sometimes more cost effective by purchasing aluminum heads. I'm partial to American made Eddies but there are others available. BTW, what do you use for bait when you fish for ice (lol).

    gear vendors over drive! Worth the money?

    I believe that there is a 3.09 ratio first gear available to replace the stock 2.66 in a stock 833 trans. Do the math and you'll find that you can run a pretty small rear gear and still have the out of the hole grunt and maintain 4th gear low RPM cruising. I would guess that Brewers would be a...

    Is A 904 Behind A Poly Motor The Same As An LA Small-Block Trans?

    '62-'66 poly 318's had 727's stock. Pre '66 were cable operated. Pre '65 were ball and trunnion.

    gear vendors over drive! Worth the money?

    What about an aftermarket 5 or 6 speed with deeper gears and a 1:1 high gear ratio? Then you could run 2.94's or 2.76's and still have the torque multiplication in the lower gears. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/rmg-7031710c/overview/make/dodge

    what cam ?

    Are you sure that Comp is the best choice? I believe that the lobes are ground using Chevy lifter specs. Mopar lifters allow for more aggresive ramps. Racer Brown cams are specific for Mopars, I believe. I have used his cams with great results. You may want to call with all your specifications...

    65 Coronet: stick with the stock grill, or go A990 style....

    I have done my car both ways. Kept the A990 grille and cloned hood "just in case", but currently have more of a stock appearance. My A990 grille is much nicer than the originals but still looks "cobbled together" in comparison to a stock 4 headlight grille. The swap only takes a short amount of...

    A lot more than I have.

    Car cover

    I hear you about the tent for mice. I have had a lot of success (or luck) by having open tupperware bowls containing mothballs located in the interior, trunk, and under the hood. I will tell you though, my wife doesn't like the smell in the car after I remove the containers before taking the car...

    Car cover

    In addition to using a car cover on my '65, I have an inexpensive "box fan" continuously circulating the air under the car.

    To Paint or Not to Paint?????

    I did everything in the factory turquoise for my '65. Aluminum waterpump and housing, heads, intake, even the valley pan gasket. I did leave the chrome on my old Direct Connection rocker covers. I like the subtle look, but that is just personal preference.

    engine swap and other changes

    318 and a three speed column shift I would assume is pretty rare. That is actually my favorite combination in any old car. Never been able to find one that is half way clean though. Having said all that, If you are going big block, there is no need to beat up the inner fenders. Think about it...

    Driveshaft question-swapping from auto to 4spd

    I don't think that any big block 4 speed B body car came with an 8 1/4. My guess would be 8 3/4 or Dana.

    How do you cool your big block with a 22" radiator??

    I have absolutely no overheating problem in any weather with my '65 B body. Stock 1965 426 radiator, 496 inch stroker motor, 906 iron heads, hemi aluminum waterpump and housing. I have a stock type shroud and stock type fan. You must have another problem. Do you have an auxilliary trans cooler...

    Seasoned block?

    If a block bore and all machined surfaces will clean up and if there are no cracks, does it matter how it was previously used? Just asking.

    Oil Consumption Culprit Found?

    Big blocks have always been a pain to get the intake sealed properly (and the rear main too). You need to do a super cleaning job. There are paper gaskets available to use with a new bathtub gasket. If you go that route, make sure that you get the thin ones. Use RTV on the pan gasket ends and at...
