Tremec to AOD?

I tried this on the Falcon site with no response. This also relates to round bodied Comet's. Anybody? Doesn't have to be worth one large? More? Okay, the 61 Falcon has been completed for several months. I am seriously thinking of pulling the Tremec 5 speed and putting in an AOD. We already have two ...

Re: WOW What a price drop

A guy on the Mercury Comets FB page posted a video of the black one. I asked and he said he bought it a few weeks ago.

Re: BaT 'Bring a Trailer" auction site

Jim it was easy. You submit your car and story. If they decide to take the listing, they charge $99 and assign a rep. to build your ad. It is a 7 day auction. It does not cost to have a reserve. At the end, they charge the buyer a 5% buyers premium. The buyer arranges transport. At the auction end, ...

Re: BaT 'Bring a Trailer" auction site

Another Meyers Manx, can you believe it? And Thanks. I still have the Disc brakes to put on my Cyclone. I keep telling myself to do that before another restoration is started.

And do tell where that transplant is going.

Re: BaT 'Bring a Trailer" auction site

A BaT auction follow up. What a platform. Over ten thousand views, 734 watchers and 38 bids for a hammer price of $66,420. It far exceeded my expectations. It is a new auction record for an original unrestored 240Z. Icing on the cake was the email I received last night, pasted below. It was purchase...

Re: Track Report

Way to go Loman. great light .006. And where is the cut line for Super Pro these days?

Pop, I saw a video of that Edsel yesterday. Working for craft, I'm surprised it has a stock throw on the crank. And the heads are D2 castings with the Craft CNC porting.

BaT 'Bring a Trailer" auction site

Well, I've been seeing these guys very active in classic's lately. I chose them to sell my 240Z. It is interesting how they work. You submit your photo's and story of the car and they decide if they want to auction it from that. The cool part is the bidders detailed history, you can see every car th...

Re: Trans cooler

Pop, that reminds me of my demo derby days. After burning up a tranny I moved the lines into the back seat area. I took 5/16 soft copper and made a coil, then plumbed it into a 5 gallon bucket that I'd fill with ice. I never lost another tranny.

Re: Roy Pools wagon

The color combo is off the charts. And we all should consider; these half breed Merc's don't get all the money they should anyway so why not make the colors kick?
I'm lovin the Rootbeer Float as I'm going to call this car.

Re: 302 FROM SUMMIT

Do me a favor and give us a true review on that engine after say 6 months. My company took on Marshall Engines (blueprint) as a jobber about 20 years ago. We had nothing but problems. I hope that has been taken care of. That being said, I remember the 70's when Jasper Engines were nothing but junk. ...
