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...

.030 360 mostly stock build from a truck. Shifter mounted in forward location. Have a car bell housing and another truck bell housing. Z bar from truck, another from a car.

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...

76 Aspen, I'm not going g to use them. $125 plus shipping.

Looking for door guts and hinges. No glass.

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.

So I started taking down the heads to have a look at the bowls to see what I can do to help them along. I have a set of double springs that I would like to use. I noticed that the geometry will most likely limit me in my cam choices. Which springs do I use? Here are my bench top specs. Intake ...

Starting another set of 596 heads today. Looks like they are very fresh from a build that used an unbalanced TC. Traded for a set of 318 heads I had under the bench. Dad put the 596s on a 318 and the results were terrible. Compression just ain't there on a 318. So I plan to finish the gasket...

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.

I would be more interested in barter. That sounds high for an automatic pedal assembly. I have a manual steering box I am willing to trade. My funds are limited at this time and drive train has priority over the winter. Thanks.

I have the pedal assembly in a 76 aspen I'm looking to trade for power brake assembly and a set of tail lights. I also have the manual steering box if you are interested.

I have the car home and am needing some parts. I will pull the clutch and brake pedal assembly and will take you up on that offer. Pm me for details. Thanks.

Floor shifter automatic, bucket seats, RT package.

Ross, are you still up in Kirkland? I am looking for some parts for a new project and I need my hinges done too. Thanks Jimbo.

That's my point exactly, but back to the topic. Is it worth the time and effort in 1/4 mile increments to do a manual transmission if the car is already set up as a console automatic?

Everything is already stripped out of the engine compartment and I have a manual steering box. It sounds like a lot of extra work when I can get the same if not better performance with a well built 360 and a 727 auto. The four speed costs .05 sec on every shift. I know for a fact that I will be...

I'm still here, thanks for the input. Looks to me like a big block with an automatic would be more practical. Clearances are are a real issue so planning ahead is very important. I heard that a 400 crank will fit a 383 and produce a stroker motor. Any more information on this would be...

Not much interest in this topic, nevermind. Maybe I'm on the wrong site. There used to be a lot of friendly and helpful people here, I will look elsewhere.

Hi guys, I'm back after I sold my green 76 Aspen. I just purchased another that has a clutch pedal already installed. I achieved 12.96 on the track with a so-so used 904 behind a well built 360. I have to choose now which way to go with the (not so) new project. A 383 with a four speed would be...
