Re: 57 T BIRD, 306 FORD MOTORSPORTS TRANSPLANT, TCI C4

I have a 393 windsor c4 in a 1955,i did disc and power steering.i found it would be a lot easier installing a 302 size for fitment but the mistake i made was not installing a aod,car is great except on super highways with 373 gear the motor is at 3000 rpm .i will change someday

Re: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REMOVAL

i know this is cheating,but 25 years ago when i got this car i had dash trouble.i removed 2 7/16 nuts that hold the speedo attached and never put them back,now i can lift the instrument cluster straight up anytime i had to do anything around the dash,never put the nuts back on stays in place,no prob...
