Lookin good. I'm following this one close as I'm building one real similar. (64 on a 79 4x4 chassis) What size tires are you running, and is it sitting at stock height or is there a bit of lift?
Thanx! 2/20/12

Turn-out seemed pretty light this year, especially after considering they opened it up to Ford cars too. Probably a combination of the lousy economy and fuel prices. I put a few pictures in my gallery of some of the Slicks there.

As has already been stated, the 289/302 uses the same mounts. Speedway and a couple other sources sell a "bolt in" crossmember that will do the deed. I put a 289/C-4 in my 64 years ago and it worked out real nice.

You guys might want to read this guys article. I already sent him a response to his "made up" problem. Wait till you see it. Send it to the editor on the contacts page. Phil

That stuff is amazing isn't it? It's hard to believe it flows out that way, but it sure does.
Phil

The crossmember was just in the way, big time. It's been a long time, but I think the problem was that the tranny would be REAL hard to pull later, if need be. And the C-4 is a pretty small tranny. As far as the drive shaft went: I put in a one piece from a big Chrysler Newport (I think) Mid 70's. L...

Here's a link to the adapters I used.
After you get there click on UNIVERSAL SWAP MOTOR MOUNTS.

I used a very simular Trans-Dapt adapter on my 64 years ago. Put a 302/C-4 in it. Worked like a charm. You do have to remove that crossmember behind the engine though. It really gets in the way.
Good luck, Phil

I stuck a picture in my gallery of the 61-66 cab differences. I couldn't figure out how to post it here. Look at this link if you want to.

If you don't mind a "hang on", the early Mustang units fit real nice and are a lot cheaper that a complete "system" from anybody . I had an extra 66 Mustang unit from "back in the day" and stuck it in my 64. There were even holes under the lip of the dash that lined up ...

I know I'll catch heat for this, but the 335 series is much maligned by many. They respond well to most upgrades and make decent power. A lot of people speak of them being dogs due to the fact they were "detuned" for emmisions. What that amounts to for the most part is the pitiful cam and ...

These guys sell a whole kit or you can just buy the solution and make up a batch. It lasts virtually forever. I have some in jugs that's probably 5 years old or better. It can be used over and over again and produces consistent results every time. For 12 bucks why fool around with making your own? G...

Alan, I know what you mean. Same situation with us this year in Knoxville. We stayed in the Pigeon Forge area and drove into Knoxville for the show. Kind of a pain, but there's so much to do closer to PF and Gatlinburg for the rest of the family. I like Knoxville and have friends and family in that ...

I think all the difference is in the roof panel itself.

Here's a link to a picture that shows the difference. I went the opposite way that you describe, (64 cab on later chassis) but the front mounts still have to be dealt with. The left mount is the 79, the other is a modified 64.

Good luck,

Speaking of saving stuff from the old site, is there a way to move pictures from my album on the old site to the new site? (I mean other than one pic at a time)
Thanx, Phil

Well, Iv'e made a couple of posts, but haven't really said hi yet. But I'm all checked in and have been looking around on the site. Looks good with plenty of room to "move around". I'm looking forward to contributing whatever I can.


See ya later, Phil

Well, I'm sure your tired of hearing it, but that thing looks fantastic! That's about the same color mine will be if I ever get it done. Thanx for the inspiration. Sure is fine lookin!!!!
