Hey guys what modern hubs will fit on 36-39 spindles? Ford car? Ranger pick up? Kind of looking for something with a 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern. Thanks

Shoebox brakes and wheels. Already got em don't need to buy more.

Anybody tried putting 49-51 shoebox hubs on squareback 42-48 spindles? What does it take? Thanks.

Sport of like mixing bleach and amonia.

I used to love beating those loosers on my old 80 ford I had. 300 six with offy intake. headers,flowmaster, mandrel bent exhaust, big cam and lots of rust. On a flat black 4x4. The look on their faces when you drove away was priceless.

Binder V8 will never make great horsepower but will produce stupid torque. A friend of mine has a 392 with a huge cam and headers and tons of machine work. It will hurl the 7000lb truck it is in well over 100 mph full of fire wood, scary. They will respond well to head porting as they have large...

That is not a ford part number. It is probably an aftermarket cam of some sort.

Castrol superclean works great on ground www. I did some a couple of weeks ago. Bfg radial t/a. One has a seam in the white though, but who cares it is for the back, under the skirts.

A 600 cfm carb will do fine. Your motor with the intake and cam probably makes about 250 hp if you are lucky. With a 29 inch tire you will be able to run any high gears, 3:50,2:68,3:00 something like that. Don't be tempted to try 4:11 they will spin your stock motor a lot faster than it needs.

Cool I plan on going outside and burning a picture of David Suzuki, and some old tries.

There are a bunch of women on another of the boards I am on. They have their own club and some real cool cars. They have a slightly different outlook on the hobby but are no less car nuts.

AHH CHOO!!

A four link ain't what ya want if ya want to turn. Look up nascar and road race suspension designs. they are three link. I don't feel like typeing out the explanation as to why but it takes into account body roll,changes in track width,and changes in radius as a car goes around a corner. 4 link...

I got a free 289 the other day. The tag on the front of the block reads 289 E 68 17 E28 CN 236-J The stamped number on the top of the block at the back reads. 8K219774 What is it out of? Anybody have a good book. All the sites I went to suck as far as ford numbers go. I already know it is a...

I used a 57 Jag steering box on my T I had. It was killer. Aluminum housing and recirculating ball,like a power box. Use waht ya find. Try a ranger pick up manual box. S10 boxes are too many turns lock to lock.
