ALL 8 3/4s are 30 spline, except aftermarket 35 spline spools and axles.

Is coffee with Baileys on the list? That's what I use. And Sam's cola.

Chinese 4412 500cfm 2bbl is $130. In your situation, I might give one a shot.

Imo, forget headers for an FE. I had a 352 in a Galaxie, plugs were tight, as were the manifolds. I had a 428 cj in a Ranchero, also with manifolds. I never did change plugs in it. Headers on either would have been a nightmare!

Jim, be cool, and be slow. Nothing in a hurry. I'm just glad it wasn't worse. My gf stepped in a mud puddle covered with some water (shallow) lost her balance, and busted a kneecap. Not as bad as a bad cranial injury, but painful just the same.

Well, blueprint makes a standard deck 598...... but I don't have enough cylinder head for one of those, lol.

I wanted to buy one of those for my Opel when they were still under 13k, but it simply won't fit. I can't use a tall deck or raised exhaust heads without throwing away a $2000 set of custom headers. (Too close to the rollcage down bars, and the floor of the car). Looks like I'm gonna settle for...

No offense. Probably a big block chevy in a mopar.

Yeah. It's kind of a shame that I bought a pair of aluminum bbc heads that flow 350cfm for $800, and 350cfm bb mopar heads cost $3000. And they would be bare minimum for a 540 mopar.

Nice work! Wanna come over to my house and move a couple header tubes for me? I'll buy the beer. Seriously, my opinion only, not a criticism. I think I would have had #7 a little farther away from the master. Equal length is a myth.

My philosophy is: put the biggest radiator in it that will fit between the frame rails, add a shroud and mechanical fan, and open up the core support as necessary. 28" core in my 62, 31" dually radiator in my Opel.

As MUCH head, as you can afford! That 540 probably has a very tame rear gear, and tight converter. Goal? No traction problems, and monster finish line speed. Enough tire, gear, and converter, it's possibly an 8 sec car. Maybe he doesn't want or need it faster. I want my car to run no more...

If you can figure out the routing...... I LOVE my pro ratchets! I have three of em, but I bought em when they were $200. I did cook a cable during solid lifter cam break-in. No problems since. Routing is critical. The wrap on the cable is a great idea. So is a wrap on the headers near the...

Yep. My cheetah was an absolutely solid shifter, but it wasn't fool (me!) proof. If I tugged the handle, I'd occasionally get 1-3. If I was paying attention, and just tapped the handle, 1-2 every time. I redid the rvmb 727 plate with a forward pattern glide plate, and it was flawless from then...

Hey now! EYE have a pair of skinny jeans! (They were on sale cheap at Costco, and I didn't know what the f#@k they were. Working-on-concrete under-the-car doing-oil-change jeans within five minutes.)
