Not mine.

Update: The last two tanks of gas have been Sam's Club 86 octane with lead additive at around 3,500 feet above sea level. Truck is so quiet I could hear pre-detnation if we're to occur, but I keep octane supplement in the tool box just incase. So far the truck and trailer haven't been north of 9,000...

Got my exhaust done on the Edsel / Mercury exhaust manifolds. They fit the truck well, the exhaust man was able to jog around the starter Bendix. Also had to cut a corner off of the driver side engine mount to make way for the flange. I used the factory 63/64 352/390 Galaxie engine which allowed the...

Unfortunately, the Powermaster doesn't have any better clearance in this application than the OEM starter did. It just created it's own set of clearance issues and I'm s...

This is great info! I bought an FE 3 speed Overdrive trans and bellhousing to put behind a 430 and quickly noticed the starter issue so I put the auto back behind it for the time being. My plan was to get the 3 speed all set up until I could run a Toploader. What are you doing about a pilot bearing...

Awesome, I likem all, just gets boring with a small block Chevy in everything.

I finally got the 430 swapped. A few things to clean up and exhaust to plumb in.
