tater_51_old · K Code 1964 Fairlane "BabyBolt" tater_51_old April 25, 2011 at 8:37 PM

Currently there's a 63 K code Fairlane for sale on the FCA website for 40K. It is probably the nicest, most documented, authentic, 63 K code on the planet. If the above car didn't sell at 35K, someone missed a big payday.

This car was listed locally, Grand Rapids Michigan, for $85,000. That's a whole lotta moola for a car that lacks totally originality (engine bay), heck that's a lot for one that's perfect!!

No problem at all, buyer pays all shipping costs and nothing goes out the door until check has cleared and money's in the bank. They assume all risks.

tater_51_old · Flywheel tater_51_old January 15, 2010 at 8:30 PM

Tom, that's exactly why I was trying to get ahold of Chuck. I have a flywheel that's exactly (almost) like yours, in fact I think it's the same casting date. My question to Chuck refers to the engineering number C7ZE-B. Your flywheel's number is C7ZE-A. My flywheel also has the C7ZE-B engineering number, it also has the same paint daub & number 2 (as yours), and brinnel test mark. I've chatted with other forum members who revealed that the B stamp denotes a standard flywheel as opposed to the A "hipo" stamping. Just curious if Chuck knows any history on his flywheel that would validate it coming from a hipo assembly. Thanks, Terry

Chuck, I have a question in regards to your flywheel, I tried your e-mail with no luck, everyone else's worked but yours wouldn't. Contact me at ltatro@verizon.net, Thanks, Terry

tater_51_old · HiPo Carb tater_51_old November 16, 2009 at 8:14 AM

I believe you have a early hipo carb, probably manual choke as the auto chokes were C3OF-AL (Fairlanes) changed over to manual in early 64.

I have complete confidence in the shop that did the magnaflux, etc. They are a nationally known shop that caters to high end off shore racers as well as full blown race car engines. I got a shop tour a year ago and was "blown away". Everything is state of the art, dyno's, chassis dyno's, seperate rooms for engine assembly, etc., and a shop where you could eat lunch off the floor. Their prices are a little more than some shops but you leave knowing that things were done right. They have yet to get back with me on whether the crack can be fixed and estimated cost.

tater_51_old · lesson learned tater_51_old November 4, 2009 at 10:15 AM

That would be great news, I just figured it was a boat anchor now. I will pick the block up next week and ask them about repair. It's standard now but will need boring. The machinist I talked with said with the crack and the fact it needed to be bored I might look for another suitable block, but then again, he probably isn't aware that it's a 289 hipo block. I checked the internet, seems there is several ways to repair the block, stitch, weld, epoxy, etc. Any input on your type of repair, cost, etc. would be appreciated. Thanks

Just got word back from my machine shop that my VIN stamped hipo block has a crack, flywheel side, probably due to freezing. I had bought the motor, longblock, sometime back and had it stored away. I had an inquiry about selling it, so off it went to the shop for magnaflux, etc. Long story short, with the price of hipo parts skyrocketing I wouldn't consider buying (or selling) a block, heads, etc. without them being checked out first. I've seen a lot of deals at swap meets, ebay, etc. for parts being sold as is for high dollar. I'm just thankful I did not pass this block along without having it checked first!

I searched the web, found a similar number for for 427 piston. That number was from a speed-pro piston. I assume that it's a speed-pro product but not certain. Thanks
