JHP No Jeff, The Modified is a Cleveland modified. I had to doublecheck myself but it is basically the Cleveland Block with poor heads and some other changes. The Windsor had those bigger bearings, The Cleveland and the Modified have the smaller ones. Plus Cleveland heads will fit on a Modified block without too much major adapting *wink wink* ...

This conference is carried on the FIDO-NET backbone and is moderated by Gerry Calhoun at 1:2004/0. These rules will be subject to change if a change seems needed or is requested. Enforcement of the rules will be handled in the echo and/or via net-mail. Repeated violations of the rules may be considered grounds for the offending node to have its link to this conference cut. Rule #1: Please try to keep your language suitable to all ages. Remember this message base is open to all age groups, and some may take offense to foul language. Rule #2: The topic here is OLD CARS. What makes a car an old car? For the purpose of this echo, a pre 1975 car in general is qualifed to be considered an OLD CAR. But this is a very flexible rule as limited production cars of newer vintage may be considered on topic. If in doubt, ask the Moderator. Rule #3: No unsolicited commerical sales announcements please. This echo is carried by sysops who foot the bills out of their own pockets for the most part. If sommebody asks for a source of a CAR-RELATED item, feel free to offer advice on where to look for something, or to mention that you have what they are looking for. If you have something which you feel may be of interest to somebody here and are NOT in the business of selling that item and it is OLD CAR-related, you may post about it here. Rule #4: No unsolicited BBS ads here. If you know of a system which has a program or file that somebody has asked about, feel free to post the name, phone number and location of the system, but no messages saying "Call this system now" type of thing. Rule #5: Keep the message-quoting to a minimum, please. Most BBS's are run out of the pockets of private sysops, and nobody wants to pay for (or see) a 20-line message quoted in full to have somebody else say "I Agree". Rule #6: Keep the personal attacks to a minimum, please. Everybody has seen messages posted by people who strike you as complete fools, but you do not have to call a person names in order to give an answer or correct him/her on a point. Hold the flames to a mimimum and try to keep this a fun place. These are all the rules for now. If any other points come up in the future, they will be addressed and added to this list if necessary. If there are any questions or comments about these rules, address them to me, Gerry Calhoun, via net-mail ONLY at 1:2004/0. --- * Origin: PETS R US! 805-946-8345 - Lancaster, CA (1:2004/0) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 155 OLD CARS Ref: DC200014 Date: 08/01/96 From: RUSTY DODSON Time: 02:32pm \/To: ALL (Read 6 times) Subj: 73 Camaro 73 Camaro for sale 350 engine auto trans, ps,pb low easy miles on a fairly new engine and trans.

All, I've aquired a 63 Ford Galaxy 500 with a 289 in it. I've also aquired a 71 Ford Torino with a 351c. Unfortunatly the Torino is totaled, but the engine, tranny and drive train are doing well. My project is to take as much out off the Torino as possible to rebuild the Galaxy. I know I can get the engine and tranny to fit. I wonder if I can convert the 63 disks brakes, power brakes, power steering etc. Anyone have any thoughts on the subject?

Take courses in automotives and bodywork either at school if they offer them or at night classes. Join an antique car club in your area. Just doing that will raise your awareness level on what is going on at a local level plus you'll soon find lots of folks who can help you do all the little things you can't do because of a lack of knowledge or don't have the tools to do. b> thing of beauty that should be saved not trashed, well, up until about 76 I cut it off at about 1953, but then I'm quite a lot older than you. ;-) Bill Fidonet: 1:134/14 Internet: bboogaar@agt.net Homepage: http://www.agt.net/public/bboogaar/flathead.htm --- GoldED 2.41 * Origin: Northern Exposure - Calgary CANADA -=- V.FC (1:134/14)
