Charles, if I installed these on my 66' hipo, would I be docked any points?<img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

There is a cast iron restoration specialist here in Washington, in Auburn who repaired my cast iron manifolds. Would a repair be indicated? <img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Well, pictures, history, modifications, all would help us understand what you have. <img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Zray, back when you broke in your engine, the critical breakin additive, ZDDP was in motor oils. The recent EPA reqmts are meant to protect CAT converters and the Zinc reduces their effectiveness. Zinc has all but completely been removed, and flat tappet engines like ours require this additive to prevent excessive wear. The zinc is actually " used up " or consumed by the friction of metal to metal. Other threads elsewhere on this site have discussed the issue. Amsoil has a dedicated oil for early high-performance engines and I have used their Stuff for years with great results.<img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Z-ray, those rods and pistons look awesome and temp me to use them in my Comp 289 Cobra engine. 750 hp/7500rpm rating sounds pretty durable anyone you kknow have experience with them?

I trust the impeller is a six vane and not the eight vane? and is the impeller cast or stamped. And tell us the price. Photos would be really really nice!<img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Give the Forum guys and gals a shot at it before you get it to EBay. Thanks.<img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

The parts necessary, will include your small valve body, which needs to be machined. But the springs are available, as is the : C " servo. and the minor modifications are in the archives here...<img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I'll buy it. send a pm.<img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Why not expand what we have to include this idea? Is it a dilution of our hipo stuff? Maybe a little. I think so.. there are many other sites that cover a multitude of non-hipo ideas and questions. Of course. saving some valuable pieces, shelving them and installing bolt-in parts is not necessarily out of the question and might be considered. <img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Wait, wait, is this the real Kevin Marti? Wow, and welcome, your devotion to Mustang's is honored and appreciated, tho we sure wish you could've reached the early Mustang records before they were tossed out..Welcome for sure, and you need a hipo, get on it!!<img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

BUY IT BACK....COMPLETE THE CIRCLE <img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

looking for a functioning hipo dual point, date unimportant, hope someone wants to sell one.<img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Keith, did you find a C-4?

The results of that motor needs to be posted here for sure. How about a video of the Dyno pull?<img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

This looka very much like my S2S Cobra intake, is there a big difference and what kind of power are you getting with your ' 292 ' and what kind of racing do you do with it? inquiring minds you know <img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Don, bless you..FYI Your hipo is going on the front of this BH, everyone, Don sold me his last 289 hipo a couple of years back....he has the fastest hipo drag car ever, 460 ci power...oh yes!<img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Thanks for the tip, I have called Lee and he doesn't have one presently. Anyone else? Thanks!<img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Yes, it is a C-4 bell housing that is made for a <i>five [ 5 ] bolt</i> 289 block that I seek. Thanks, spread the word... <img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

OOOPS !
