Need new valve gaskets, thermostat.
Just replaced Holley 4 barrel..

My wife's car MAS, and throttle valve and air Pump . All decided to poop out.

My freaking Fix Or Repair Daily.(Ford) ranger trans pooped out.

My dad had a Cobra 427 engine he rebuilt and had to sell it when my little brother was born, he still reminds my brother to this day he owes him an engine. He was going to put it in his 72 Mach I.

38821

This is what I started with:

38822
38823
 
As time goes on, with a little work.
The 460 will get a make over.
Pick up a new engine and C6 tranny.
No chrome for the truck tho..
 
Its a real 427 side oiler FE, stroked, full rolller, ported perf heads, twin 650s and way to much cam.
 
I feel your pain my newer car has a check engine light and needs a new turbo. The old truck needs the transmission rebuilt due to a leak but I have a buddy that is will to help me with a 12 pack for payment!

Nice looking truck !!!!
 
I remember in 1966 that my folks bought a 64 GTO from someone in P.B For $1500 for my brother at his suggestion. Three two barrel's a four speed with four the on floor and no brakes (drum's) with Bias ply and narrow tires it was crazy, It was bad ass from my memory of this event he drove it to Rose canyon (next to I -5 in P.B ) and lit it up (after going to the Taco Bell at Grand and Garnet back then remember?). My folks forced him to let me ride in the car as a family sort of thing when he came home with it and then I remember another evening in Rose canyon again when he raced a 60's era corvette (64) and smoked it multiple times, The owner got so pissed he took all the weight out his car he could and still could not beat the GTO.
