With all those cars do you have a V8 4 speed car for sale, I dont care condition As long as te drivetrain is complete

Yeah. I didnt build it to sell for a profit. I thought I was going to really love the car since I drove one for about a year when I was in my 20s. But I'm a big car guy, I have a 67 Coronet bracket car and a 68 Coronet project that I want to get started. This car if it were a 64-70 b body I...

Been listed a little while here and still have not listed on E-Bay or marketplace or Craig's so I am limiting its exposure but I have had a few offers of about half of what I'm asking. guess the F Body Fans know that there is no market and a purchase or build is to keep it. Anyway to move the...

78 Aspen Super Coupe

I think I'm going to swap out the Big Block and install a small block w/4 speed. I am looking for a crusty rusty cheap V8 Volare or Aspen that is complete with its drivetrain. Dont give a hoot about anything else but the engine, trans, linkages, pedals all accessories must be there. Email...

I can add show class winner now too.

They are available. I just had one installed about a year ago. Ask for 1980 Aspen also

I would only venture to guess the Mirada/Cordoba M bodies are wider than the F but I'm surely no expert or have first hand info.

Not testy at all, I assumed which is my mistake, I appreciate the clarification. Thank you for the compliment also. Looking at my engine bay, a raised block will cause me multiple issues.

Ok, you proved me wrong, but the valve cover in my car with 383 barely squeezes by the booster, there is no way to service the valve train with RB and power brakes. Or am I wrong about that too? Or if I go to a stamped original style valve cover would help. But the B -Block doesn't give...

There is a big difference in F to J bodies installing a 440, power brakes are not an option with a 440 in a F body. The J body is a bit wider and puts the valve cover far enough away, with a B block in my Volare there is not enough clearance for a RB even with a small brake booster. 440 in a...

The design of the grill is very basic, I traced the original and cleaned up the lines a bit, the inserts were done over wood bucks, The frame is 1/4 " aluminum. It was a good amount of work and several steps to build ot then a bit more work to make the mounting brackets. It is not a part that...

The grill on the Green Volare is on this build thread Starting page 9 https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/2116859/11/76-volare-yes-a-volare.html

No, I hand drew and formed them, I do have templates though. If I were to make a second one I would have to charge about $600 for the hours involved

Thanks Old Iron, I fixed the link.
