This is perfect. I’m never going that fast lol

I just don’t want it to flake off. It’s an engine that’s never been run, and going in a car that’s getting repainted and redone.

Ok so say the engine is a 470 or 499…. 3.55 rear gears… idk if those are the best gears but it’s a set I was thinking…

Take it to a bare engine? Or you just mean pull the heads and accessories off?

Thanks! Merry Christmas to you as well! I’ve been around but haven’t done much car work as the office is nuts at the end of the year and I have 5 projects at home going on. Car goes to paint in January so I’m going to have to **** or get off the pot with things on it. 70 and sunny here for...

I don’t understand the gearing. Most of my shifting will be up to 60 mph on side streets, not much freeway driving, maybe 10-15 minute freeway drives every couple of months. The OD of the 56 I’ve read mixed reviews, people saying 6th isn’t usable unless going 70+ mph or on long drives?

The paint on this engine is flaking off a little. What’s the best way to strip the paint off and repaint it? Thanks.

Care to shed some light on why someone would choose 1 over the other? Is one more comfortable to drive? Or more fun to drive? If you start explaining gear ratio numbers I will not know or understand anything you’re saying so say it is stupid people terms like you have to shift out of first...

The whole engine bay looks to be black :p looks like it’s a pretty nice car and paint job.

I know Tony used IMM out of California to do work for him and would vouch for them. I believe Tony also used HBR in Las Vegas for majority of his engine work.

How much for a set of manifolds? Just curious

I mean I wouldn’t part it out per se…. I would just donate parts from it to another lol. I found another convertible on FB but it’s 10k so not really a good cost effective donor car. But for @Dana67Dart it’s a 67 lol. Looks like he has a bunch of spare parts, even an extra top? Maybe I should...

Last one I saw for sale in good condition somewhat near me, the guy was asking 2,500 I believe. I’m not sure if he ever sold it.

Yes I got it from South Carolina but it was right on the boarder of Charlotte Nc.

Speaking of donor….
