Marc I believe I have one.  I'll send it to you....no charge, because this very day Gregwill16 sent me a C6 bolt re-enforcement ring at no charge.  So I'm paying it forward.  Just send me your address.  and as Gregwill16 told me...."happy father's day!"

p.s. don't use the email address on my profile mcstarliner@sbcglobal.net.  It hasn't been used for years and I can't find out how to change it on my profile. My current address is 6061ford@att.net

Want to buy the six hole circular reinforcement for a C6 flywheel.  Apparently lost mine.....I can't find it in 55 years of shop inventory (clutter)!

For Sale:  3 or 4 years ago when I was building my last 428 I ordered a set of ARP main bolts.  When they arrived they were main studs.  I had used the wrong part number when ordering. I decided to use them but after I torqued the main caps I remembered that using studs versus bolts changed the bearing clearance.  So I removed the studs, ordered the correct part number for bolts and finished building the 428.  So now I have the studs for sale.  They have only been torqued one time, removed and placed in the box and put on a shelf.  $85 includes free shipping.

thanks RJP...it's nice you also have both years of Starliners.  I bought my first back in 1983, sold it later and regretted it.  Bought my '61 in 1998 and my '60 in 2006.  The '60 Starliner has been a favorite of mine since they first came out.  In the fall of 1959 I was learning how to drive, I was the oldest of four kids. My father went out and bought a new '60 Ford.  But we were so poor that it wasn't a Starliner.....he bought from dealer stock the least expensive model he could find. Two door post Fairlane....not even Fairlane 500.  Rubber floor mats, no options except the 292 engine, not even a radio! Three on the tree, no power brakes, power steering, A/C, I'm not even sure it had a cigarette lighter.  My mother wasn't exactly happy that he had bought a new car.  His excuse was..."well the boy needs a good car to learn how to drive in."  I must say when driving without my parents, that I really did enjoy that 292!!!


Tom, thanks for the nice words.

Thank you Stangman!

Anyone who has known me for a while will tell you that I usually don't like to be in the spotlight or the center of attention.  However when I learned that "Ford Performance" had done this writeup about me it got me to thinking about how much I like reading about others stories / histories about their cars and car experiences.  So I decided to come out of the shadows and post this.  Some of you on this forum may have already read this on the "FP" email newsletter but for others I hope you can enjoy it.  And there is a FE connection....three of the pictured vehicles have FE engines in them.

Brian, I'm interested in the 360 oil pan.  Is the drain plug not stripped?  Pan rails fairly straight?  Can you send me pics? email: 6061ford@att.net
Thanks, Marc Covington
