Re: where is this all going
Frank,
I agree. It's going to be hard for some regional groups, local car clubs and the national EFV8 Club. Not having a EFV8 meet for two years is serious disappointment. I do understand why...

Re: Ford V8 vendors
I live 5 hours away from my favorite V8 parts vendor. Service is great and they even let me spend the night at their home when I make a trip to their shop. That's real service!

Re: Question for ‘39 pickup experts
Finding one of these NOS or in excellent condition has slightly better odds than finding the ark of the covenant. I'm still looking for one for my '39 pickup.

Re: transmission question
Why not rebuild the transmission with the 29/15 gear combo and go with a 3:54 rear end ratio. I have that in heavier sedans and I can cruise all day at 65 mph with ease. Plus it's a heck of a lot...

Re: Freebies
Wowzers, that's generous. Free and it takes time to deal with the requests.
I'm in no way affiliated with Third Gen Automotive, please support this small business.

Re: Anyone know?
I'd contact Michael Driskell at Third Gen Automotive. The Ford Bolt business he bought from Roy is impressive. As is his knowledge of fasteners.

Re: 2.5 ohm ignition resistor
I'm running the ICR35 on a 12 volt conversion. If I remember correctly, I have about 4 volts at the coil with this resistor.

Re: Car at auction
I'll go out on a limb and since it's a hyped up TV auction house, it'll bring something stupid crazy over what realistic value should be. TV car auctions are so dumb I can't bring myself to watch...

I will add that I have a 1974, 351w that I'd like to build and replace the 289. I'd also like to eventually go with the AOD transmission.
