COMET CENTRAL

Sad to say I got a Cheby truck axle under one of my comets. When it comes time to build it I may swap it to ford. To me the speedway round axle does not look correct.

my 64 f100 has a 240 with 300 fuel injection heads. A strong motor, dont know anything about it, it came with the truck. It pulls a car on a trailer well.

Let us know what you come up with. I am doing a similar build. I moved the leaf springs in ,using a 57, 9 inch, uncut. I am looking for stock wheels with a lot of BS that do not have the 10 hole lug pattern.

Go gasser ! I asked the same thing ,See my post called survey. Hope you post pics.

Looks like the do not cut, Vote wins it. I was leaning that way to but needed the support. So I bought a 60 Ranchero straight axle to satisfy my gasser craving . The gasser crowd is a great group , equal to this Comet crowd. Check out the you tube video Greer dragway 2nd hot rod revival , Im driving...

I agree with the champion radiator. I got 3 and they work well and are cheep on ebay. I also use a corrosion rod in place of the drain plug. I do not fully understand it but there is electrical fluting going on with the aluminum radiator. I have read that grounding should be done at the trans to help,

Im building a 347 with 351w heads. I wonder how it will do.

Mike, ill put you down as original (stock aperience ). To fallow up, I got the car from a guy that used the drive train ,interior and some other parts on a falcon build, I think he built the wrong car.

Love the gassers. Thinking about putting a straight axle under my cyclone to southeastern gasser specs . Its just killing me to cut up a cyclone. Good luck. If you put a straight axle in it it has to have a clutch,(imo).

I will be starting my 64 cyclone project in January. I plan to build a mean small block with a 4 speed.Will mostly be 1/8 mile drag. Im torn between building a gasser (straight axle) or a as modified original as would be in the 60s. I love the gassers but hate to cut a cyclone. SO , What would you b...

I got a 65 4lug car you can get. In Great Falls SC.

you can mill 351 heads .040 , It worked well for me.

Anyone have any experience with gapless rings.

I put an explorer 8.8 rear in my 63 fairlane. 31 spline, 373 gear , limited slip, n disc brakes. Just cut drivers side down to passenger side lenth and install a passenger side axle in. will work with overdrive, but more gear is better.

I really like my quick fuel carb. I use a 670 w/vac sec. on a 306 w/550 lift cam. For race I do agree with 750 DP, and go chokeless. That's what I used years ago on a 289 drag car . worked well despite most said it would be to big.
