I have a 66 Beaumont with the original 10 bolt non-posi rear end. I believe this would be an 8.2 inch. I would like to change it out to a posi and I mentioned this to a friend who waid he had a posi rear end for it. He dropped it off and it is a Chev 10 bolt rear end, but I am pretty sure it's out of a full size car - t...

I recently passed on a reasonably priced oem shifter for my 1967 beaumont. I currently have a hurst shifter in my car that I have grown to like. I have been debating what to do for quite a while with the shifter in my car and still have not made a decession. Have any of you tried the adaptor for the "mun...

Finally got my 5 speed tremec trans in my car and it works like a dream! I wish I had gone this way a long time ago ! The trans has a .68 overdrive so at 70 mph I was only reving around 2100 ( that is with 3:73 gears as well !) The only modification I had to do was to lower the trans mount bracket on the rear cross memb...

I just picked up a 3970010 350 4 bolt main block of my neighbor. Go figure I was looking for a block and there is one next door all this time. Its either a 69 or a 79 block dated May 4th. Would be great if it was a 69 as my car was built May 20th. But I think is a 79. The block number is K05 79 800. I know the K is for Mck...

Was at my freinds on Saturday and noticed he had a 283 in the corner. He said it was a 283 but noticed it had a crank flange like a 327. The one with two notches. The block number is for a 283 (3896944) but I always thought 283 crank flanges were round or with one notch. Could a cast crank look like the 3...

Someone told me recently that whenever you ordered a car with the vinyl top, the roof would not be factory painted. This prompted some buyers to order the car w/o the vinyl and have the dealer install it. Is this a myth?
