COMET CENTRAL

Chris,Welcome to the Forum.I like you convert rendering.I'm out in Calif.and at last years all Mercury show a BEAUTIFUL 63 S-22 Hardtop got best Comet out of about two dozen Comets.63's are getting hard to find,especially converts,Good Luck with yours and your stepsons.Roy.

The only difference is 9.2"verses 9.5",You can hardly tell the difference.Edelbrock lists two different manifolds for each deck height but I have been running an early performer on a late block for over 200,000 miles!You DO NOT have to shave the towers to put a 351 in your Comet,it helps but is not ...
