As I close in on what seems like a 20 year rebuild some things I used to do are a little foggy. I have had a bronco, mustang, falcon, or fairlane (at times 2 or 3) my whole life. I have some break in oil for the virgin 71 351w I rebuilt by punching 20 over. A torquey voodoo cam carb and...

I hear you. I cut the glove box and moved 3.5” to the left. Agree once you do it the rest is easy, besides PO cut the dickens out of it

I am no metallurgist, but always believed a flat fracture like that to be from a tensile failure. Since the taper was tight and carrying the load first thing to come to mind would be an over torqued situation. Would be a little unsettling if it ever happened again, you are lucky. Go buy power...

What is gear ratio of axles?

What kind of hinges do the doors need?

Grill looks pretty clean, wish I was closer

It’s 3/8 x 16 and 1.25 inch long, many recommend a grade 8

I wanted to go with lift on hinges and real doors, and not hack up mine and play with single shear and double shear forces. But I am hoping to use my fiberglass door inserts when I do. I have mediocre to avg steel fab and welding skills, but have been fabricating fiberglass for 30 years. Who...

Does the trans have 3.01 or 3.25 first gear!? I think if behind a 5.8 it was 3.01, the other is 392 or I6
