I used a 9" Versailes rearend on my slick years ago. Wouldn't do that again but I do have a great suggestion... I have done this twice now and love the results. I paid $60 for two complete set ups from the junk yard. We put one set on my father's model A (with 9' Ford) and one on my 89 f150 (8....

Wow, that's great, Thanks.

Thanks Greg...I'll call them today!

There won't be a problem of too much torque, they handle the diesels just fine. I ran one behind a 460 in a 20K lb. car hualer for quite a few years. I am not really worried about modifying the tunnel either. The way I see it, and I haven't done any measuring yet... The FE bolt pattern is narrower a...

Has anyone tried to convert (or seen anything about it) a ZF 5spd trans to a FE block?

Thanks, I'll go over Monday and take a look around. The price sounds good too!

I am interested in putting a '74 F100 extended cab body on my 1989 chassis to get around CA smog laws. Can anyone give me the wheel base measurement of a 1974 F100 ext cab with a short bed? I have a great '89 with an all new chassis rebuild. But would like to put a descent set of heads, cam, manifol...

The one I use is a cover for an '85 F-150. It has the multi layers to be weatherproof,mildew-proof and soft for the finish. Hope this helps, part number 269-90306. It looks like they have it as a universal fit now. Mine is 10 years old and used to be a direct fit part number for the '85 F-150. But i...

What year and model Buick stuff did you use? I'd like to take a look for myself.

Shawn-
Thanks a lot for the info and pics. I had posted the question a few days back and hadn't had the time to look for replies. It was killing me. What a suprise. Thanks again. I'll send some pics if and when I get time to do the mods.

Did you ever come up with a price for the tilt hood set-up? Plain, uncoated would suit me fine. If you don't mind me cutting in on your conversation. I've always thrown the idea of tilting my hood around and like the looks of your set-up.

I've seen a few done but would like know where to look for the 1 pc side window kit. And, would like to hear the results from someone who has done it. Are they smooth when moving up and down. Are they quiter at 70 mph than the wing vent? How much of the door has to be cut? That kind of stuff.

Greg-
I hear ya! But, I've been thinking about them to solve wind noise in the cab. Do you know who the kit is offered by?

ELpolacko--What did you do for your 1 pc side windows? Did you have take a lot of the inner structure of the door out to get the 1 pc windows in the doors? If so, what did you do to get the structure back? Thanks

Slick Fan and ELpolacko- I like the looks of both of your kits. Slick Fan did you build that kit or is it something that is available in the after-market? The only thing that I worry about on both of those kits is the distance from the radiator to the cross bar. I wouldn't want it to hit my tunnel r...
