    Dave, The 1850 Holley IS a 600cfm carb, they were inexpensive in the day but a great carb none the less.

    I am seeing the GREAT, Vintage Edelbrock F4B intake-again a GREAT intake and many used them back in the day (including me) because they perform and look like the Shelby intake-VERY COOL PIECE!!-I think for what you are doing with your car that you could use it-just paint it black and put an Autolite 4100 Hipo "clone" on it & you'll be good to go!!

    I think that BIG, NICE 9" rear can handle the power!! (lol)

    Glad to hear that you all had a good trip!! as long as the packaging wasn't disturbed I feel confident that it made the trip ok-I was a bit concerned about the 2 inner-most bands being broken by a pallet jack-don't forget the breather hose and shock plates in the small box.

    Dunc, I bought MY Motive system from Laurel Mountain Mustang supply on Ebay-I believe that other Mustang vendors also carry it-you just have to be darn sure that you specify the MOTIVE system and not the cheap generic system-my July 27th 1965 Dearborn built K GT sounds GREAT to me-I'm not running and Flowmasters or anything-just what comes in the Motive kit.

    Like I say there is anouther company out there (a persons name, but I can't remember it right now-may be some one else can...)that makes the systems that is also of a very high quality.

    I was warned that Motive did not supply the correct clamps for one location and we had to get them separately but no big deal.

    Why put an Arvinode system on a car that was built too late to have come from the factory with it??

    I have a July 1965 Dearborn built K and I have what I believe is a GREAT, correct appearing system that was obtained from Motive Industries, and I believe there is anouther company also making a very correct system as well.

    I don't know about RPM, but anouther guy sent me a page with many stampings on it with the correct lettering and numbers on it and I had a rubber stamp made locally for under $15.00 for mine-I gave my stamp to my restorer when the project was finished but I may still have the paper with the stamping on it-I'll look and advise.

    Dave, Great to hear!!! Please let me know how the rear end/package rode?? I kind of think Roadway/Yellow takes better care of its business customers and it sure didn't hurt that Vicki's friend in receiving put all the stickers all over it.

    Please tell everyone how the all important rear looks to you....

    Dave, One thing you don't have on your list is a correct, restored 9" rear end......why is that?? (LOL)

    Anyway this is the FIRST place I'm trying our new computer......

    As far as some of the parts you are searching for:

    Carb:I'd contact Jon at Pony carbs and get him to build you a "clone"-they are VERY NICE! Distributor you might try looking up Chuck at Distributor Dynamics-he specializes in FORD distributors and may have a suitable unit for you.as for the "H" pipe for your exhaust it just might come along with the GREAT Arvinode system that is on the market-otherwise you can get one separate-I'm not sure if the Arvinode system comes with the correct clamps (and hangers for that matter)(my later dual system I got from Motive Industries did not)so we had to get them separate.Hopefully someone else will chime in on some of the other stuff!!-Rick

    Dave, You might try contacting David Kee Top Loaders in Texas-he might be able to provide a correct transmission for you-as far as I am concerned he is the very best in the industry as far as Top Loaders go-he did my ORIGINAL (VIN stamped) one.

    He has hd plastic cases that he sends empty and then you put your trans in it & send it to him for rebuild and he returns it the same way-David is VERY HONEST-my trans really didn't need much done and he said so the first time we talked!! GREAT GUY!! I HIGHLY RECOMEND!!

    ALSO: For your (related) shifter-I highly recomend Bill Heeley in Olney, Maryland-again a GREAT, HONEST GUY!!--Rick
