Re: Mecum Kissimmee Comets
It says sold? :? Jim It did not make reserve when it crossed the block, it went into “the bid goes on” where the high bidder or anyone else has the opportunity to bid in it. It sold for $22k which means someone stepped up with $5k more. Jim Was looking at this one a couple days ago. Maybe Hagerty w...

Re: Joe's '63 1/2 Tinkering Thread
Hey, Johno!
My daily driver has plenty of pep but I hate the way it handles. Way too much bump steer.
Don't care for FWD at all!

Re: Joe's '63 1/2 Tinkering Thread
Good to hear from you Joe, stronger every day, this is great! Prayers always, keeps me going as well. Progressed quickly first month out but very slow to nil now, Lee.

Re: Joe's '63 1/2 Tinkering Thread
When you get a chance look up 260 tri power there’s a bunch of stuff would like your thinking on. Been very interested in your thread, Pat. Thoughts? Very cool 8) 👍 Finding the old 'unobtainable' is really the part I enjoy the most, owning a Comet (especially period correct). Should be a blast afte...

Re: Joe's '63 1/2 Tinkering Thread
Don't know when/if Comet work will resume :( Never got the E brake fixed but I have all of the parts. Whenever I get the endurance, I'll drive it up to my bud's shop and put it on the lift. My boys cranked it in the drive the couple of months I was in hospital. I managed to take it for a short drive...

Re: Still KICKING
Bought a 4WD XJ about 25 years ago to haul equipment when I worked on the weekends. My daily driver for 20 years until I gave it to my son and bought my red Comet. Kept my wife in a Taurus or three during that time. Here's last old Ford I built on after I sold the old rust bucket Cyclone. Fixed it u...

Re: Joe Travers
Thanks Jim. Nice talking to you yesterday.
I developed Guillaine-Barre Syndrome at Christmas. Have a ton of rehab just to learn to walk again. Yes, I will be away for quite some time. Thank you all for your support.

Re: 3x2 manifold
I’d go with the 1.08 carbs, Pat. I had forgotten the vague details on your engine but the Blue Thunder looks to have larger ports than the old manifolds. Most of the old ones like the Offy didn’t really flow that well compared to modern single carb designs.

In bed with influenza so no cars pics. Thankful for one of my sons coming down. We’re helping each other’s holiday.

I would love to have Wendell's CJ engine for a truck application.Boss/Cyclone wrote: ↑Fri Dec 22, 2023 7:47 pmNow I am thinking of grabbing one while they are still relatively cheap.
He ran a 390 Holley on it and I bet it never saw 3K rpm after he stroked it.

Re: Interesting about the 460
Kasse's been developing the Boss 9 platform out to big displacement for a few years now. His engines are currently ruling A Gas class in SEGA competition. I would love to visit his shop next time I visit my oldest son. He lives about 20 miles from Kasse HQ. Thanks for sharing, Fred. I have an old fr...

I didn't know it was a re-bodied Cobra. Need to do deep dive into Bordinat/Shelby collaboration.
