Whatever was done to the engine, I wonder if it can match this one built by somebody over on the Dock?

:wtf:To have an Empire means conquering other countries. Which ones have the US conquered?

These are the ones I restored for mine a while ago. The paint I used was called (here in Europe) Matt Anthracite. Its a 2K. The wheel is the spare, and wont be used on the car.

Those wheel trims were first used right at the very end of the '65 year when discs were first introduced. As regards tyres, I agree with Cbarge. 235 70 x 15 are perfect on a C. British tyre maker Avon (now part of Coker, I believe) have one with two different widths of whitewall stripe, and...

My 2c.... BMW dealers sell Bosch 5 3/4" reflectors as spare parts. These are usually H4 halogen on low beam, and H1 on hi beam. Good quality parts, as would be expected from a German company. If these are used, add relays and the correct gauge wiring. I use a pair of double relays. If fitting...

I wont be towing with the car. The only reason I did it that way was to get the tranny up to temperature quickly, and keep it there.

Thanks for the kind words guys, it means a lot.

Found this quote about the Flyin' Whale... The rear end is a Dana 60 with 3.54 gears, a Powr-Lok limited slip, and Dutchman 35 spline forged axles with screw in studs. Custom leaf springs from National Spring with double wrapped front eye, 9 leaves front/7 rear, poly bushings, Addco 3/4" roll...

There must have been a lot of transition years, my '04 Dodge has a mix of SAE and Metric. :) Maybe I'm old fashioned, but metric fasteners are the invention of the devil!

Assuming things are the same between '65 Chryslers and Dodges.... Back when I needed one, the big problem turned out to be that both upper and lower hoses were on the right hand (passenger) side. Nobody seemed to do one. In my case, the answer was to fit a later type water pump housing that...

I use the Schumacher mounts on my '65, so a few comments from personal experience. First, the two bosses that they need only seem to be on late 440 blocks. I'm not for one minute saying they dont exist on 413's, just that I've never seen them on one. Second, Schumacher seems to think that the...

I've done the swap to a late model 727 in my '65. Some of the questions I can answer, some I cant. First thing is that a rubber transmission mount from the late trans is needed, along with the bolts that attach it to the transmission. I did fit the later transmission cross member, but only...

There is a Mopar bracket available that lifts the booster up out of the way of everything. Costs somewhere around $70 complete last time I saw one.

Seconded! I could not agree more with that post. Far too many people seem to take brakes for granted. Years ago, I went out with the Wrecker to an accident. Three kids and their mother killed, the driver seriously injured. The reason? The driver had done a brake mod. he didnt have the skills...

I did the Saginaw conversion on mine as well, using the belt-over-fan-pulley mentioned by 440 Magnum. As can be seen in the photo, The drilled bosses mentioned aren't needed.

I used the spindles from a 73 to put front discs on mine. Its a pretty common way to do it. Calipers, rotors, most everything is available from places such as Rockauto. The hard part is finding the spindles.

The two lines from the trans were split with braided hose. This was to allow them to take up vibration and engine movement, as well as making them easier to fit... One went into the radiator tank, the other into the return side of a thermostat. Cold can kill a trans as well as heat... From...

Did the one on my '65 slightly differently. If anyone is interested, I can post photos.
