Thanks, it is what I expected. Bottom line is we got to this just in time, much more and it would be trash. 🫣

These are the measurements we made the frame jig from. We made a support at the front and rear of each frame rail. I think the car needs to be pulled to those dimensions, or in this case rebuilt to them.

Any chassis experts out there with data availability information? My son and I have carefully crafted a frame jig according to information from factory spec sheets. I don’t like what I am seeing as we prepare to set the car on the jig. The car was put on a rotisserie, blasted and sealed by...

Inner does look ok in pic. 😊

Looks like a J but not sure could be an u on there, take a look. Engine is in the shop so can’t verify beyond the picture.

The value in the t/a head is you can port them way beyond the stock head, that’s why the pushrod is moved. I just purchased a new set of rollers for my engine, it came without, cost $1400 and it’s a nice product. Just couldn’t locate stock pieces and the aftermarket is a better piece than the...

I have a set but the butterfly shafts are worn and need to be bushed, lots of work which is why I bought new.

I would note the 6.1 is the base for the blown motors, assume this means it has stronger inner components.

I believe that the technical knowledge we now posses with regard to seating, thanks largely to nascar👍, is hard to retrofit in this circumstance. Unfortunately my 1970 also has seats that you sit ON, not in like the new cars. My recommendation is keep,your foot on the throttle and that produces...

Just a note that for performance shifting nothing beats the pistol grip for that second to third shift on a h pattern shifter, imho. 😊

Mine are factory body color, fyi.

I think Vaanth put it as clear as possible, it appears he has more information on this than I do so I bow to his expertise and offer my thanks to him for the information.

23 spline was small block application, 19 spline was big block as it was perceived to be a stronger design for th e larger amount of torque produced. Hope that helps
