Definitely interested as well. I am seriously interested in a manual rack, though I *could* probably be convinced to go with a power assist if it...
With the right components it will do it. It isn't the cam, it is the combo. Any part that isn't up to snuff will hold the rest of the engine...
We built my cousin's 289, .030 over with AFR 165, Comp Cams 270H, shifts between 6500 and 6800. Little cam + big heads = fun. Ran a 7.96 in a 4...
Ouch. Sucks for you and him as well. He got suckered, glad you didn't.
Way back when, I was testing my AOD on jack stands, stupidly dropped it in park while the wheels were spinning and broke my park pawl. How much...
Good luck. Take pics.
That is a sweet sounding six.
It wouldn't take much to look underneath and see what it looks like. How far is the car from you?
That looks like a good start. I need to drive through the desert apparently.
He's right on. One more thing, I tend to have to adjust mine again if I had just packed the bearings. After a good couple of heat cycles mine...
I've got worse gearing than that in my Ranger (4.xx first + 3.42 rear), I wouldn't want it in my Comet. Of course I can shift at 1500 RPM in that...
Comp Cams XE256H-10 is really close to those specs. It was on my short list for my build. Looking to put a set of monster heads on it, keep my low...
Ding! We have a winner!
Lower numerically = 2.95 higher numerically = 3.35
The numerically lower first gear has a higher torque rating on the T5, also doesn't have as much of an rpm drop when shifting into second. If you...
If you don't find the power steering bits, give me a shout. I don't think I'll be going back with stock power steering if I ever put PS back on...
Nice catch. I looked at that for my own car but I didn't catch that for the original thread starter.
Keep us posted. I've been looking at putting a Tremec in mine unless I trip over an awesome deal on a T5. I've read several work ups for putting...
Nice. I'm probably going to do this with mine before it is road worthy again. Simple and effective.
I grew up with my 74 4 door and the first car I purchased was a 74 2 door with a 302. I prefer the big bumpers. Small bumpers look fine, but my...
Separate names with a comma.
