    Coupe to Fastback?

    I agree it probably can be done after looking at it. But in addition to the work you did, would he also have to change alot in the trunk area? If you take it on yourself, study up on how to chop a top. That might give you some idea on the work involved. Good luck.

    Toploader 4 Speed Or Tremec ?

    I have a top loader with a 3.70 rear end, and I can tell you that at 60 to 70 mph it is annoying not to have another gear. Thats just me though, its really what your comfortable with on your rpms. At 70 mine is turning well over 3000 rpm. And mine is a weekend car too, but some of the meets I go...

    302 engine swapped into a 67 coupe sixer?

    Dude, I would go with a 5 speed. By looking at your sig, it looks like your used to that, and may not like not having that overdrive. I have a four speed in mine, and it sucks for any highway driving. I'm looking at a tremec with a conversion kit that will allow me to bolt up to my...

    67 c-4 shift kit?

    As 10sec said it is basically the clutch for an auto. Your tranny has a torque converter that basically has a stall of around 1000rpm. Now imagine if you built an engine with a big cam and made your best hp starting at 2500rpm-6000rpm as a powerband. If you had a manual, you simply rev the...

    67 c-4 shift kit?

    I agree. One thing on the shift kit though, are you planning to install yourself or have someone install? Cause if you plan on having someone install, then you can save the money for the kit. If the tranny guy knows what he is doing, he will know how to drill your stock plate in your valve body...

    C-4 knocking noise

    Need a little more info please. When you say when the brake is applied, do you mean when you are shifting from park into reverse or drive? Or do you mean when you are driving? If it is while you are shifting from park into a gear, then thats when you are putting a load on the tranny, and could...

    302 engine swapped into a 67 coupe sixer?

    Still not letting it go huh? Truth is, the boy told me he would come down here and take care of me, and then turned around and asked me to send him money for a plane ticket. What a child. When he called, I calmly told him I had said all I was going to say, he then proceeded to tell me he was...

    302 engine swapped into a 67 coupe sixer?

    Funniest apology I ever heard. I only got irritated cause I told you to call me monday through friday, and you caught me right when I was putting my kids to bed. Anyway dude, we might as well just let it go. I'm a grown man with wife and kids. Do you really think I'll hop a plane and come up...

    302 engine swapped into a 67 coupe sixer?

    The order was that #35 was the one you responded to by name calling, which I was stupid enough to do back. You did the baiting. You compared a I6 modded to a stock V8. I never said you compared it to a modded one. My point was that the same money spent on the I6 to make it perform like a stock...

    302 engine swapped into a 67 coupe sixer?

    Please boy, enough with your internet tough guy act. I emailed you my town and state, with my cell number. If you think your so tough as to travel down here then do it. Otherwise, layoff the tough guy act. You may stand by the information on your sight, but you portrayed it as your own knowledge...

    302 engine swapped into a 67 coupe sixer?

    This is exactly what I expected from a 23 year old college student who probably has mommy and daddy paying his way. Its funny how you can look at people's profile on here and see how old they are. Not 39 huh? Whatever boy. "Keep calling me names" huh? No denying that this boy called the first...

    302 engine swapped into a 67 coupe sixer?

    Ha Ha. You want to continue it in private but you want to try to look like some tough guy by posting what is probably some bogus address and try to make sure you get the last word. I'm in Texas City, Tx. boy. Next time your around Houston, just let me know. I'm not far from there. Way to look...

    302 engine swapped into a 67 coupe sixer?

    Your the big mouth spouting crap A-HOLE!!! I did not say you said it was valuable, but you did say not to trash it cause its rare. So what if its rare, its a piece of Sh**. Nobody wanted it then, and smart people don't want it now, unless it was to increase the value of a vehicle, or they were...

    302 engine swapped into a 67 coupe sixer?

    Seems to me he did not ask for advice on whether to do the swap or not, but what parts were needed. I advised him to chill a little too, but rereading some of the posts(especially from Dave) they were totally insulting and condascending to this guy. Dave talking about his impression was this kid...

    Well my 302 will be stroked to a 342 with fully forged bottom end and full roller up top producing 500hp at crank naturally aspirated and prepped for a 175 shot of nos with 675hp at the touch of the button all on pump gas and be very streetable at 10.7 to 1 compression. When you show me that the...

    05 V6 wheels

    Am I crazy, or do those things look like a toned down version of the wheels on Eleanor? They would look cool if you had them cromed like people used to do with the pony rims on the 5.0 cars.

    possible paint combo - opinions wanted

    I have True Blue on my 67 fastback, and I get a lot of compliments on it. My next move will be some silver shelby stripes since it is a gt350 clone.
