My2 cents worth...I had one in a mustang with a stick and one with a c-6.  On the street, the stick would have an occasional "slip feeling" going around a 90 degree turn at slow speed.  With the automatic, it was barely noticeable.  +2 on putting it in and forgetting about it. They are bulletproof. Just one less thing to worry about breaking on your hot rod.

Hello all, been lurking for years on this site have have loved every minute!  I have always loved the 66-67 Fairlanes and not having much luck finding a decent driver or roller. Prefer the 67 if possible  and an automatic.  I have a nice 445 I built for my 69 R code Mustang, but sold the car before I got it installed.   Any out there? I live in Colorado.

Hey guys, what am I doing wrong here? You couldn't build this engine at this price.  Any suggestions?  More details or pictures or something?  Not trying to get rich quick, is the price too high??

Hello guys, been lurking here for years and learned so much about FE's.  I built a 445 stoker based on all the great builds shared on this site with the intention to install it in my 69 Rcode Mach 1.  but, I have sold the car and now my hot engine is all dressed up and no where to go.  I live in Colo Springs Co. and I am not building any new projects, so it needs to go.  See my local craigslist ad here:

I just turned 65 and have been in car dealerships my whole career since 1978.  I work in the parts dept in a Cadillac store and parts availability has been an ongoing nightmare for 3 years for a variety of reasons (IT problems at GM, UAW strike, COVID) and it is getting worse rather than better,  I agree that many of my generation have left or are leaving their fields ASAP and our replacements are not up to the task.  We are constantly needing techs, the young guys we get are just not experienced enough or hungry enough or something enough to get it done.  The brain drain in our store has been dramatic, we have aged out all the veterans in all areas and it is a mess now.  I have so many cars down and waiting for sometimes months for a part that kills our business is so many ways.  Heck, we can barely get any new inventory to sell on the New Car showroom.  Ugh!

Excellent photography!  I see the last 2 cars (68 mustang and 67 Fairlane) both have the same NHRA number? Driver sell one of his cars and replace it with another?
