FE Technical Forum / Re: help with 428 cj for torino talladega
« on: July 21, 2014, 07:47:26 PM »
Hi Mike
I have 192063, maroon.  I went with a hotter cam, hvhp oil pump, T-pan, double pumper.  Very few people that see a Talladega have any idea what it is anyway and you should build it the way you'll enjoy it.  Definitely go with a looser torque converter.  Even my part throttle shifts into 2nd chirp the tires.

FE Technical Forum / B&J overdrive unit
« on: November 09, 2013, 08:05:02 PM »
Is anyone familiar with the B&J overdrive.  I bought one for a C6 quite a while ago and am hopeful of using it in a project this winter.  It has a cable shifter and appears to be a about a 30% od.  Gear housing is divorced from the transmission so I don't know if it uses atf or gear oil.  Any help or suggestions appreciated.  Some sort of technical info or owners manual would be great.

Thanks

Actually I've found that '66 through '70 Falcon's engine compartments have same dimensions as Torinos; so this swap is bolt in.  Will post in members projects as things progress.

Thanks for the replies.  After doing the research suggested here I just bought a 1969 Falcon roller.  Should make life a lot easier.  Thanks again.

Hi all
Have a chance to buy a 65 Falcon with a puked 302/C4 setup.  How big a deal to put a FE/C6 in?
Thanks

Hey Jon
Found the card!  The gentleman's name is Jack Meyer and I spoke to his wife.  She says he still has a lot of Comet stuff.  Jack's cell is 920-235-2300.  I'm not sure if his address has changed but I believe he is still in Oshkosh.

Just joined forum and saw your post.  Looks like it has great potential.  You are certainly right about parts availability but the final result will be worth it.  I think the 66 Comet/ Cyclone is about the best looking intermediate of its time.  Of course I've had one since 1967 so I might be biased.   I have a few odds and ends parts and a bunch of 69 Torino stuff if I can help.  There used to be a guy in Oshkosh that had tons of Comet stuff.  I mean half a dozen interiors, ten hoods, bumper, etc, etc.  I'll try to find out if he is still around.  If I don't have his card anymore I might be able to find out at spring Jefferson.  If you've never been to Jefferson or Iola swap meets you should consider attending. 
Best regards,
Brad
