I finally completed one of my winter projects. My factory leather wrapped wheel has been showing it's age these past years, so I removed and repaired it. The leather was badly faded to a tan color across the top and it had cracks and chips everywhere. I received a very nice "Keewee" brand...

Good question Rich. I would be curious to see how they answer. I worked on the assy. line at Chrysler's Lynch Road Assy. Plant from 1979 to 1983. We never had any fun. Just a lot of hard, sweaty, ball busting work. I still have nightmares.

I have 2 questions....... 1) Did all 68 San Jose cars have rectangular antenna bases? 2) Was thier, or was thier not a "Caution Fan" decal installed on the fan shroud of 68 San Jose cars?

Wasn't there more than one CS going on the block today? If so, what did IT bring?

Not at this time. We don't do too much FE stuff. Only small block and 385 series big block parts. If I do run into any good CJ,SCJ or rare FE parts, I'll post them here.

If anyone needs a nice 385 series race engine, I am selling one of my pieces on fleebay right now. Check it out. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-429-460-Racing-Engine-w-SCJ-Block_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ107063QQitemZ4605115078QQrdZ1 I'll make any of my Calspec brothers a good deal on it...

The guy I purchased my Calspec from owns a 69 T-5 convert. 390 car. He lives in San Jose and purchased it brand new in 1970. I'm not sure how or where, but I will shoot him an E mail and get the details.

Perfect binding would be my first choice over hardcover. My books travel with me to all the car shows and are displayed. It seems like the coil binding is always coming apart since it gets bounced around in the trunk and viewed a lot by car show spectators and judges. I've had to repair it a few...

I'll take a few as well. XL for the fat kid!

Somewhere, I have a picture of me standing next to the lawman at Detroit Dragway back in 1974. I was 14 at the time. I'll have to dig it out of the attic and post it. It was so sweet.

I watched it today and was somewhat dissapointed. They stopped at the 68 Shelby and didn't even talk about the 69 and 70 cars (my favorites). Probably just a time constraint thing, but still a great episode anyway. I had to wipe the drool off the tv.

Jason, While you are there, check out the Bear- Hunter alignment Systems display. Ask for Tom Murphy. He is a member here and the guy that purchased my "S" code CS. He also owns a 67 coupe with a Holman Moody 429 SCJ engine. He is a great guy and a hell of a engine builder. I know you guys will...

I just had an interesting chat with my Dad once again on this topic. He stuck his finger in my face and emphatically told me that ALL FE engines (including all 428's Jason) are not big blocks. They are FE's and that is the correct term. "If you can put 428 cj heads on a 460, then you can call...

As the son and nephew of 2 Ford engineers, it was beat into my head at an early age exactly what the Ford engine families consisted of. My father and uncle put 32 years in at Fords EEE engine design center in Dearborn and always preached the following to me....... " The Cleveland and FE engine...

Moses, The ebay link you posted above is a set of valve covers for a FE engine, not for a big block engine. :P

I have an old set of Mickey Thompson aluminium finned valve covers I took off my old 429 Torino. They are in need of a good polishing, but no cracks or damage. $175.00 plus shipping. Let me know if you are interested. Nicholas

You beat me to it Stanger. That was an old black and white Twilight Zone episode. A true classic.

That Michigan car has been for sale at autotrader.com for most of the past year. There has got to be something bad going on there. The car appears to look pretty good. I wonder if it has a salvage title or something like that. That renders a car worthless in this state.

My Calspec has a California Emmisions decal on the right shock tower. It is white with red lettering, about 2.5"X 1". It is very badly faded,cracked and peeled so I can't read anything except the first line. It says "This car meets all California Emmisions Codes #09834"........ and the rest is...
