502; the car next to it has a SBC. The car next to it is one of these: https://www.tbucketplans.com/austin-bantam-roadster/
nope
Shhhhh, its her surprise.
I bet he was grinning.
Yes, sir. I noticed that whine right away. The one next to it was a bit quieter.You better check out that engine. It has a bit of a wine to it. Maybe the power steering pump.
You have to love the sound of a blower ! I would have one on my big block Chevy in my boat. But I was afraid the girls would get their hair stuck in the pulley. It already goes 80 on the water without one. The wife starts grabbing my arm at anything above 55. ????
I went with the painless kit. Really nice actually. Pre marked every foot with the circuit and a 180 page manual. Only thing was the had the tank selector diagram wrong. Put a new sending unit in the passenger tank before I realized that wasn’t what was blowing the fuse.
Nice. I have a 1986. I want to do an LS swap to mine. mtmuley
I thought about an LS but I really like old school motors. I’ll probably do a holly sniper EFI on it to get away from a carb but still keep that carb K&N look
Mine is a 3/4 ton long box. Been in the family since new.I also want to swap the Turbo 400 for a 4L80E. With the 4:10 gears, overdrive will be welcome. mtmuley
You don't see original radial arm saws much any more. Cool!
Good stuff Homer. Thanks. mtmuley
Fender flares...any other mods?
yes......it is a '66 small block automatic car.....now has a '67 hood and big block 427......not what you'd call a numbers car.....lol
That will be cool. My dad had a 79k20 when I was a kid up in Alaska. We had a half mile driveway that was pretty much just a cut road from the neighbors D9. Used to drive down that at what I thought was 100, probably about 30 and I’d bounce around in the seat while he’d do a doughnuts in front of the house. Definitely where my love of trucks and dirt roads was born. I’d give anything to find that truck and buy it
ls with the over drive tranny....that will be a great ride...
Back in the 80s when I was teaching at CSU, I had a female student who was a flute player in the CSU band. Good kid and very good looking. We started talking one day and I mentioned that I would love to drive a 69 427 with 3 dueces. She told me that her dad owned two of them; he owned a body shop. I didn't think too much of it until one day we were outside for a lab class (for the class after hers) and I hear the unmistakable rumble of a big block. Wow, that car was awesome.
Yes....he took it to senior prom....Has Lil Jef Snuck it Out To Give His Chick a Ride Yet?
That You Know Of?
oh nice.......you're killing mtmuley
Now that is one to talk about, that could be your retirement plan in itself. I have a 79 jeep hardtop that I took off the frame and rebuilt. I call it my Mountain Cadillac. Ghost flames all leather interior.
This is a picture of my 79 Jeep CJ-7 I restored completely off the frame. It has ghost flames as my Grandson and I wanted it gets a lot of looks around town.
That is very clean looking.
I like the old tote goat on the wall too
Keep it stock! Its amazing what Fj40s are valued at.
Yes my jeep is stock with matching numbers it makes the value much higher. They sell for BIG money in Denver area...... Old Jeeps and Broncos as well
Ooofff . . . did you make him pay for a hazmat quality auto detail afterwards
, the closest thing to numbers matching is to have the glove box door where many of the build details are recorded.
My friend had one of those, not sure what year it was, but we used it for a beach runner when we commercial fished. We would get home between midnight and 4am and he would put a fresh water sprinkler underneath it to rinse the salt water off, but it didn't help. LOL!
The Rochester 3 2's were nice because you could disconnect the two outside ones and get better gas mileage during the week and hook up all 3 on the weekend...and go hunting for a drag race.
It's a love hate thing with Qjets. My old Ford still has one with some custom, not so pretty, bendy links... exactly like Blue mentioned. It also won't die or get starved of fuel at any angle or slope. They do need attention every so often
Hey Blue want to sell that ole 302?And of course the money pit. While it now has a 408 full roller, I have the original 302 laying around somewhere.
Incidentally, there really isn’t such a thing as a “numbers matching” Bronco as the engine serial numbers aren’t matched to the frame VIN. Besides all original like mine
That 4BT swap was all the rage with Bronco’s 15 years ago. They’ve moved on to “coyotes” and such now. I don’t even know what that is.
When did ford use a quadrajet?
I believe there were a couple of really oddball times like on Torino’s or some other obscure models. I wouldn’t bet my life on it though.
Yep like Blue said... it was adapted. I don't remember exactly what it came with other than it was a two barrel... probably a motorcraft or autolite?
How much to part with that truck Bluehair?Since this is a chebby thread…….here’s the only one I own. It was my dad’s so I guess that makes me second owner. I beat this down every dirt road in Az and a bunch of CO.
Not original because it has a big block now.
damn... I drove one just like that in high school....sold it in college........one of the biggest mistakes of my life....
Keep asking. mtmuley
He's a weird dude. He lives there by himself and he has 5 vehicles. Two in the garage and three alongside. I've seen him drive all of them except the Camaro. The other one in the garage is a newer Corvette.
Absolutely. I'm good friends with his dog.
Or maybe the cat for ransom. Cars like that are very few and far between. mtmuley
There's an idea. I seem to remember there were a couple options for the 396. Different horsepower options. I don't know which one his is. Maybe the SS means the higher hp option?
Lol - I was going to suggest the same. You can have your cat back in one piece for either the camaro or the vette
The 396 was an option in the SS package. A 350 was standard. It was rated at 350HP, but that was fairly conservative. There was 27000 plus SS cars built, but that includes both engines. Fairly rare car. mtmuley
If that engine is original to the truck, it's probably a 402. mtmuley
I believe there were about 4 different options of the 396. 325,350, and 2 different 375 horse versions. The L78 was a 375 horse iron head motor and the very rare L89 aluminum head motor.
Don't remember a 325 horse engine, but you're right about the L34, L78 and L89. I was infatuated with the 1967 and know way more about that year car. mtmuley
That was one of the first cars my dad took me to test drive. He wanted me to floor it and I suggested it would be better to wait until we were out of town.
Yes, there was a 325HP 396 offered in the 67-69 camaros. It had an L35 code.
Those are the only kind of air bags I could get in my 1967 Camaro. mtmuley
It started life with an anemic 350. Upgraded to the 375/396 big block. There was a model/package that came with a 396 - I think it was called a “Longhorn“. I’ve seen only one.
What was the oil capacity? I'm guessing 6-8 quarts or so.
