I had the wrong trans numbers. I need a HEH-BX 4 speed. and a 1965 9 inch for my 1965 Feb. built K Fastback. Thanks! Ron

Ron, I had my HEH-BX rebuilt by a company called Perogie Enterprises in NJ. At the time they had extra HEH-BX cores they would sell outrite, rebuilt for 1695.00. That price was without any core. They did a great job for me and were always available and willing to answer my questions. Their web address is: http://www.perogie.com and their phone is 609-448-1684.

I hope this helps.

What Tom posted matches my washer. I just wonder why it is different. Anyone got any ideas?

Gary

I have one NOS still in it's original package and the Engineering Part# is C3OZ-6378-A. I will open it up tomorrow evening and take some measurements.

Gary

Dave.... Actually the publisher web site was cheaper than Amazon. Thanks for the link. I promise to never use a standard dampner washer and bolt on a K code engine!

Gary

Thanks Joe. How do I get a copy of Bob Mannel's book?

Gary

Marcus, I sent you an email.

Gary

Thanks Marcus, I have that one on my radar but wanted to see if a fellow member of HPM had one. I would rather buy from a member before ebay.

BTW, I got the hatchet weight and much to my surprise the gear. As soon as it arrived I went to my shop and bead blasted both. It looks like new now.

Gary

Thanks Brian, that is the assembly date of your engine. Your casting date should be prior to that date. You can see your casting date by removing the starter.

Gary

Thanks to all that responded. So, what are the consequences of using a regular washer on K code engine? Also, is there any difference in the bolt?

Gary

Looking for one between the dates of 4K10 and 4L24 or very close to these dates.

Thanks for your help,

Gary

If anyone has, or knows of where I can get a set like the ones given with the 3X2 I would appreciate it.

Thanks, Gary

Quote from HiPoHerb

There is nothing more exciting than seeing two carbs on a hipo engine.

Unless it's three carbs on a hipo.

Spencer, VIN# 5f09k697046 is in the registry and it's last know location was AR. Maybe some of the more knowledgeable members can give more information.

Hope this helps, Gary

Quote from GTBullitt

Ok my block has 5F16 (June 16 1965) one year before, to the day as the above block and its stamped 5R07K242883

Brian, Is that the casting date for your engine? If so, what is the assembly date?

Thanks,

Gary

Anyone looking for one this is the link:

Hope this helps someone,

Gary

Thanks to all that responded. Ralph, what I am doing is building an engine that I hope will go into a car of the correct year. I just wasn't sure what year car would be correct. Now, what are my chances of getting an early 1967 K code car with no engine?

Gary

Does anyone know when they stopped production of the 66 model year and started the 67 model year?

Gary

A block having a casting date of 6F16 would go for 66 or 67? Could it possibly be used for both years?

Thanks, Gary

Quote from Rick

It looks like all 66's came with the F O R D letters on the hood.Is this so? Any tricks to getting them in the right location and straight? Thanks

Rick, My original 66 hood is off my car and the F O R D emblems have been removed. I would be more than willing to measure them for you.

Let me know.

Gary

Thanks to everyone who responded.
