Informative thread thanks, you mentioned knocking the caps off the u joint when working on the differential. It's been my experience that 1 or more of the needle bearings will often lay flat inside the cap if the u joint has more than a couple years of wear especially if it's a warm day causing...

Hey guys, so the Green Monster was sold a few years ago, (Big mistake) and last year I brung home another 76 Aspen Rt. The guy I got it from had installed pedals for a 4 speed and hacked out the rusty floors. After many attempts to locate a power brake assembly I finally gave in and thought more...

Aluminum dual plane 4 BBL. Not a Torker. Seattle area. Thanks.

I have one I'm changing back over to power brake and steering. Last owner thought a big block 4 speed was a good idea. $150 shipped.

OK, on the other hand I myself ported a set of leftover 273 closed chamber heads and found the process rather soothing and therapeutic. Once I became comfortable with my tools and technique I proceeded onto a set of 360 heads. Gasket matching, opening the intake and exhaust ports, smoothing and...

Jegs.

I made one out of 3/4 x 6 pine stock with some form and black pleather and it turned out as good as could be less the lock and latch. Just sayin. Necessity is the mother of invention.

Wildcat in Sandy Oregon. Not a lot of good reports, got em stacked like cordwood. Greedy, but not friendly.

Windows are up but progress has been slow. Will be moving into the garage very soon.

Looking to cannibalise a 76 to 79 f body in the Seattle, Portland area. If you have or know of a parts car that I can scavenge please share. Thanks.
