ford made aluminum and cast iron bellhousings for the 289's. i assume they are they same dimensions/distance from the motor to the trans (manual)? any help?

ok, any one try the TCP cnc mounts? how is the engine vibration?

what aftemarket motor mount do you use on your kar with 66 style mounts?

Haven't found a good one that actually fits. The ones available are tough to get in.

when you say tough to get in, what does that mean? i have the motor out, does this help?

a ford small block 4bbl intake manifold, edelbrock or what ever, same 'foot print'. same goes for the carbs, a 4 bbl carb, ford, holley or edelbrock, same 'foot print'.

just wanted to add a suggestion. for those who are willing to wave original parts. the canton t pan with a one-piece pan gasket with the late model oil pan rails are 100% leak-proof!

looks real cool too!

what is an average price for a new engine build with good parts with aluminum haeds. thanks

hi all, anyone have a recent experience with an engine builder in the southern calif area. i want a new motor built for my 66. new block with aluminum heads. any suggestions?

i have looked with no luck. where can i find aluminum (or some other material) spacers for my shocks on my 66 kar. i have seen these on other cars. these go on the top. approx and inch tall that fit between the shock tower car and the top mounting bracket on the shock body.

pictures?

i assume it has been repaired 100% correct with ford sheet metal?

i believe mounts for a 6cyl and 8 cyl on any year are different. also if you truly have that kind of power, i think the choice is very obvious.

good luck.

$110.oo for all of it.

does this kar have the doublers in the rear floor pans under the rear seats?

its just stuck. put a piece of card board around it then grab those pliers or channel lock. when its out, i would check it out to find out why it is getting stuck.

hope this helps.
