The clutch works and the transmission shifts fine. I put a 1 ton Ford rear-end in it last week and it fit almost perfectly only difference is its 3/4 of an inch wider in the back now. Tomorrow I will mount the 350 Chevy with the 700r4 midway right behind the cab. and put the 235 up for sale. I think I will use the old engine compartment for either all aluminum gas tank or maybe an over-sized beer cooler. I am in the process of completely manufacturing an IFS for the front along with power rack. I took the power rack and pointed it straight up for the steering shaft. Looks real good so far. I will put more pictures of it on the Web tomorrow afternoon after I finish installing the mid-engine and trans. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 83 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 83 | Roy,
I may be interested in the intake/exhaust manifold off your old engine. I believe the 41-49 were the same with a 2 15/16 bolt pattern for the carb. Let me know....

I think I had my dimension wrong.....the 41-49 should be 2 11/16" bolt pattern center to center.
Thanks,

Comes complete with both manifolds, new gaskets, Carb just came back from the carb shop getting rebuilt and the heat riser has been completely rebuilt also. I dont want to separate the 3 pieces and I have $525.00 in everything. This is the best stuff out there you will find. I dont do anything half-XXXXX

I'm sure this is a top-notch setup. However, I all ready have a new updraft carburator and was hoping to just get the intake/exhuast manifold to match my year. Plus, my truck budget is running in the red right now as it is (which the boss isn't real happy about anyway....).
I have two newer style Carter updraft carbs to go with the setup that I have...I just have to rebuild one of them to use it. I figured it would be easier to clean-up and paint a used intake/exhuast to go with the new Carter updraft carb that I got, than to rebuild one of my used carbs.
So, I guess I am going to have to pass on yours.
Thanks for getting back to me!! | | |
