probably fits into the neck, didnt catch the opening of the intake was too big when installed. That manifold isnt deteriorated, thats a machine finish.

Welcome! Nice car! Your car looks solid from what the pictures show. I have a 65 and love it. You are right about needing a new trans and engine swap parts to go big block. I'm going to second your approach. Instead of going BB, go with the stroked small block, save all the swap costs, go roller...

Yup sure are!!

Hey, sorry but all that was left when I got the car was a speaker frame with no paper. What did the tank look like?

My car came with a 383 4bbl, 4 speed, 3.23 gear, and an AM radio/reverb speaker for options. I can't imagine a housewife in the 60's or 70's parking it, it takes a lot of strength with manual steering. Kind of a weird niche car, big and clunky with no options.

Follow up- engine enamel clearcoat works for a while!

I have also went down that rabbit holes half a dozen times in my life. It is much effort, that slips away quickly. Does look damn nice for a while though. Polishing Harleys has also decimated a year or so accumulated time of my life. The last bike I had, got sick of it, took a bunch of parts and...

That's a good plan and all, I use Assassin bar on Calvert split leaf monos. For the amount of time it will take you to do all that shopping, the $400 bars look pretty good. The Smith Assassins pivot up into the spring eye, instead of the Calvert's contact area behind the eye, which is a better...

Hey! it's got a Passon 5 speed in it now. I had a pinhole in the oil pan, so the motor had to come out, decided to raise the CR and go roller while it was out. Was trying to keep the same dynamic CR with the new pistons so bumped the cam up. Going from 260/264 to 268/272 raised the minimum...

My heap has that style shifter as the first post.

521 CI RB, TF 240 heads opened to MW, 370 cfm@700, 11.25 CR, 337 ported intake, 268/272 at 50 roller cam, BAM lifters, 2" Doug's D452 headers, CZ vacuum pump, 1050 Dominator, Air cleaner lid flipped over.

Dude looks like he hasn't slept for days.....

There is a safety clip/ball deal that will probably not be usable or safe if it is in there that bad, there are new rods available though, not something to mess around with If it becomes dislodged, things could get interesting quickly. Disc looks good at least, really cool car, comments mostly...

Did you check the coil to see if it would spark?
