As soon as this hurricane stops soaking us with rain......I'm gonna go out to the garage and check my Tractor to see if I need to go get diesel to plow snow. If we had more snow, I'd get one of those blowers like @68gtxman has. My neck is broke by the time I do our road and 5 neighbors drives...

@RAT ROD AL That Barracuda rear window trim is for a 66. 64-65 trim didn't have the fish on it. :thumbsup:

I just got done wading thru waist deep water with my buddy who owns a race engine shop, along with his son in law, to get to his shop before the storm gets here. It's bad enough already, since it has poured the rain since about 3 pm yesterday. His shop is 50 feet from the French Broad River...

@Demonracer @ragtopfury While you guys were fixing those multicolored tree roots, I was fixing the big black tree roots with the red stripe....lol. All 3 of us could have had it worse....we could have worked for the sewer dept! :eek:

That's great John! Glad it went well. Maybe stay inside for a few days and not be out anywhere it's dusty and could get something in your eye.

Looks like y'all hit the road right on time. Gettin a little damp and windy down there. Here as well. That little creek that runs behind my garage is starting to look like the Colorado River from todays rain.....and the storm won't even get here until Friday! :eek:

Those drivers side manifolds are for B, C and E body cars only. They hit the steering column on 67-76 A body cars.

Ben, the friend of mine who did the machine work on my 273.....used to build Harry Gants engines when he ran late model. He said Harry was tighter'n a banjo string wrapped around a lawn mower blade, lol.

Have you ever been to a race at a big track like 'Dega, Daytona or Charlotte? First one I ever went to was at Charlotte. Sitting up high, right near the entrance to pit road. When the pace car ducked in and they went by right before the green flag dropped, they were bunched up running about 80...

Chris….go to the museum while you’re there if you can. They have all the stuff people got caught cheating with….lol. Pretty sure they still have to run restrictor plates at Talledega and Daytona.

@tinman2 Thanks, and I am sorry for your loss also. Poor little Thurman had two syncope episodes last weekend. I never knew the difference between them and a full blown seizure until our Vet explained it to me. Our first two, Annie and Rags both had full seizure's in their later years. They...

We have said the exact same thing! :thumbsup:

The day we picked him up at the rescue, the lady told us if he became too much to deal with, to please bring him back. I'd already figured out how gentle and easy to get along with he was. I had already given him that nickname, so I took my sunglasses off the top of my head, sat them on his nose...

Piper looks like the first one we ever had.....Annie. They are great little dogs.

I hope Mr. Hemi gets to feeling better soon. We've worn the Vets office out with our dogs here lately, and one had to spend the night at the animal emergency hospital in an oxygen chamber. I know what you mean about not wanting to eat while dealing with a sick animal. My ol buddy Thurman was...

DING, DING, DING!!!! Just ringin the bell by the door at LJS, for John, on my way out the door. :thumbsup:

We lost our little buddy, Thurman yesterday. :( Thurman was in an Upstate SC rescue in March of this year. My wife saw him on their Facebook page after he was found all matted and sick, walking right down the middle of Wade Hampton Blvd. in Greenville, SC. Wade Hampton is a 5 lane Hwy. The...

Wait! What? I thought a Ban saw wuz to cut piston tops down with? :rofl:

Between him, Jim Kiick and Larry Csonka....the Dolphins had a heckuva team for several years.

Now that I see your pics, I realized that I remembered it wrong. I thought it was passenger side top bolt, but it was the top drivers side one. On some car, I remember a half moon type clearance notch in the floor pan/firewall pinch weld right about where that bolt would be. It's a later A body...

You may get to it before I do on my Barracuda, so when you get to the mock up point with the motor and transmission sitting where the will reside....check the top transmission to bellhousing bolt on the passenger side. Seems like I remember them being really close to the floor pan. Back in my...

Prayer sent for you John, and for the doctors doing the surgery.

Do you have the guts for the passenger side yellow one?

My plan is to cut straight, being careful not to cut the crossmember. Then tack the dogleg down to the floor pan. On the shifter side, I will leave the floor pan metal on top of the crossmember to strengthen it and also keep crud out. The factory did it that way, so it's good enough for me. :)

I always wanted to do that when I worked as a transmission lineman. We used to do some helicopter work, but never any 'Bird on a wire' stuff like that.

I'm converting my 65 Barracuda to a 4 speed also. I'm going to hold off welding my 4 speed hump in until I get the transmission mocked up. My hump is a 64-65, just like yours. I might be overthinking it, but I'm guessing with that itty bitty hole for the shifter handle....the hump placement may...

The electrical connectors where the lockup and OD wires hook up aren't even close to being the same, and there are probably internal differences also. @Duster346 has probably built more of them than the rest of us have ever seen, so he is a good guy to listen to...

Rock Auto lists 2 different inner wheel bearings. I think that may have been the biggest change in the knuckles.

What was the name brand of the windshield gaskets you used?

Then he would have to pay the 'Skeedaddle tax' that has been imposed on people fleeing the state.
