Re: Father and Son Comet Project (with photos)
Just getting back to the forum and trying to catch up. Looking at the toeboard pict makes me wonder/due to lack of memory. The original IIRC is a stamped 1pc unit that covers the entire front section and is panel glued into place and tack welded at the stress sections. The sectional panels planned f...

Re: 1964 Comet disc brake conversion help
Decided to go dropped straight axle, selling the 11" disc package. it wont be street'ed so stopping isn't my biggest concern. At least "crazy stop fast crap" anyhow,
For that matter i have drums on my 66 F100 and it stops just fine even towing. Maintenance and common sense is everything.

Re: My 64 202 Post $PIT
Small Block Cal Customs, Cast VCs worth about 50.00-80.00 on ebay in great condition.....caught some attention back when, now sought after somewhat. None of the offers i have received so far have me parting with them. Kind of leaning towards keeping the 289/3spd Toploader/8.8 package for a butt ugly...

Re: My 64 202 Post $PIT
Well the body on the opposite side is not so nice LOL. But it's a project so it's just more to do. FE is coming together slowly. The one in the pict is a 390 from a 65 Marauder. Only thing being used from it is the valve covers :) The engine is replacing the 352 in my 66 F100 ......someday runs so w...

My 64 202 Post $PIT
Well for the longest the dream of a 64/65 Comet danced around my mind. Project after project until one came up on CL. Resto was not the goal, FE Power and stick management was. Still aloof in the concept/parts vs $$$ jungle, she is at rest on blocks in the driveway. After the initial cut it was on, ...

Re: Cam lift
Does Isky know the blueprint on your engine ? If not they are giving you all the advice they can. The block or heads having been milled is highly likely by this time. Guessing on a performance build is probably not the best option. You don't need to put the new cam or roller rockers in to clay test ...

Re: 1964 Comet disc brake conversion help
Well I found a guy selling the Granada setup on CL in AZ and picked it up for 230.00 shipped. Looks great, 11" discs (no drag link parts etc). I was considering a straight axle and still am. The frame twist issue does have me worried and a plan to get that issue resolved will be put in order. Listen...

Re: Nine inch rear conversion
I think i'd just cut the 9 down to fit, relocate the pads IN and have the axles circumcised. JMO but if the tapered ends are a necc evil than it is as such. Update us please..
