Yes, any measurements are appreciated. Although the Long H-pattern would be closer in comparison to the Hurst super shifter I believe.

I was asking about a Toploader for a reference point but have a G-force GF4A going in the car. It’s going back for a gear ratio change and they’re gonna set it up with a shifter (H pattern)when it’s there but Leonard asked me for a measurement on how far I want it back. I sold the Toploader already and the engine is out of the car so I have nothing to reference. I removed the console and it’s not going back in. I know I will have to modify the shifter hump and that’s no big deal. Thanks

Does anyone have the measurements from the front of the trans (face of bellhousing) to the shifter handle? 66-67 Fairlane GT. I need to know for a new shifter and may set it back farther with a straight stick. Thank you

Looks like it makes sense to see where I’m at with current cam then gear accordingly. Just found the paperwork for the heads. Spring pressure is 134 seat. 391/.600, 419/.650
Thanks Brent and Paulie

Was dynoed with “out of the box” edelbrock heads not the ported heads from KC. Also had .066 head gaskets with a 4.4 bore
KC stage 2 have 76cc finished chamber (cc’d them). Pistons are .007 in the hole and the head gaskets are now Cometic MLS 4.190 bore and .036 thick.

No. At the crank. But the dyno was in his home garage (older super flow) I’m not sure how accurate

If I keep the cam, I’m sure the heads and intake will make a difference but don’t want to swap once it’s in the car. Brent, would I need to worry about the heli-coils in the E-brocks pulling out with the spring pressure of a solid flat tappet cam?

We only ran it on the dyno with stock Edelbrock heads, PI intake and a Holley 850. I can’ find the sheet but it barely made 430 and it was done by 6000

I can swap gears no problem. As for RPM limit, I would be comfortable up to 500rpms before it breaks! I guess that’s part of what I’m asking. Can I spin it to 6500 reliably?

3.89 right now. I have a N-case, spool and 4.57s on the bench. Tires will be 28x9. I was hoping you would chime in. I believe you had a post with a similar build in the past?

I also am looking for your opinions on cam choice for my 428.
4.155 bore Diamond flat tops 10.6:1,scat rods, internally balanced, KC stage II heads, Harland sharp rockers,BT 2x4, Carl’s Repro bk,bj carbs.
I currently have Barry’s .598/240ish hyd roller.
The engine is going back together and I’m thinking of changing the cam for more power/rpm. I cannot afford a solid roller/valvetrain (the kids eat a lot) Looking for a solid flat tappet.
66 fairlane, no power anything, no radio,glass hood and bumper, 4 speed. I want to start drag racing for fun and limit street time.
