Thoughts go out to our Ford brothers doing it tough at the moment.

Paul.

HJ 1974 Statesman Deville.

This is the start of a long haul project for my son and I.
Ive had the car since I was 18, and is in very good condition, however
its time for a birthday.

I'll try to keep an updated pictorial from start to finish.

Basically, where stripping the car back including motor removal gearbox interior.

New interior / new 308 stroker / new paint etc.

We want to leave it old school as for the wheels which I have original Chrome American Stikers
running Yoki 10" and 8" tyres.

The suspension is quite low, looks good this way.

Hi all

Sourced a blue motor crank for my rebuild for the extra strength. And apparently they are heavier which gives you more torque. Any truth to this??

Is there anything else I need or does it just go straight in, same main caps etc???
Any help appreciated

Cheers
James

Hi need some help I have just bought a Cowan turbo 400 trans with stage 2 shift kit, it came with speedo gear. My problem is that the hole in the the middle of the speedo gear is too big for my speedo cable to screw onto. I have notice that down the stem speedo gear the hole gets smaller. Does this mean I have to cut the stem of the speedo gear down enough for my speedo cable to crew into. Please can anyone give me advice. Thanks

Desperately need a hr or hd front bench seat. Any condition. Any colour. Dustin 0432938862

Tonight I fitted the new alternator, fired her up and - no difference :-( Gen light still staying on and getting only 12.4 across the terminals with the engine running. So clearly the alternator was not the problem. Before I go running off to an auto electrician what should I check next?

I received this lot today from walpolla (Rod).

Just wanna say thanks Rod, I'll return the favour if and when I can... ツ

Looking at a crate motor for the HK and just wondering if anyone has dealt with his place. The price seem fair considering the heads are machined for ULP and its got the correct sump which aren't cheap.

Any feedback would be appreciated as they get 100% on evilbay.

spooky...

Look what I found written under the paint work...
