Anybody know a good tool or method for removing that long fragile stainless trim without mangling it?

Yes I did try Auto City They have them but only with the wretched shading band. Unable or unwilling to special order one without it..

Joe I consider you one of the main drivers behind the elevation of the Y-Block and FE into modern performance status. I still have your first set of ported iron Y block heads that you did for free just to learn about them.. That engine has come a long way mostly due to improved breathing which you have had a major hand in.. We also made big strides in Lincoln Y and MEL performance due to your head work. Sure gonna miss your efforts ... hopefully now you will have time to finish some personal projects

Could you get a 62-64 with a console and column shift? I have only seen a console in an XL and always with floor shift. Local "expert" claims you could get that configuration

I should say I put the post here not because I have anything to do with promoting them. I just thought they were outstanding work. Did not want to get accused of schilling for a vendor

Local header builder was tasked to build a set of headers for a 67 Fairlane without cutting anything and so they could be installed and removed without raising or tilting the motor Oh and they needed to be tucked at oil pan height and all the bolts accessible with a socket and extension and spark plug clearance...
Amazing piece of work

FE Technical Forum / Mallory distributor gear
« on: May 24, 2025, 07:45:39 AM »
I am putting an FE into an RCR GT40. It's a tight squeeze. No room for water pump and the MSD or even stock Ford distributor will not work My only option seems to be an older Mallory with a marine crab cap.. The FE has a roller cam. What gear would I use . It's a YL/25 Mallory distributor..

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Bill Stroppe and the Mercury Mermaid
« on: April 06, 2025, 10:09:03 AM »
Hemi Joel found this and sent it to me.. Of course his real purpose was to rub in the fact that a 57 Plymouth with a Hemi won the event.. But the Mermaid acquitted itself well and some say bested the Plymouth" top speed before losing a radiator hose.. Some of you know I built a tribute car around the Mermaid.. I owned it and showed it for a few years Then sold it about 5 yr ago Last I knew it ended up in a collection in Cali
