Interesting. Went ahead & subscribed I'd like to see how it goes.

Definately some down sides to think about given battery life, range, and cost. I think all of those will improve rather quickly though and it never hurts to have another kinda diamond in the rough slick setting in the barn waiting
And thanks for the link Merc.

Kind of related side note. I have been wanting to buy a new V8 Mustang or similar but not so sure now. I am wondering how obsolete it will be in 2 or 3 years. There will still be plenty of I.C.Engines around but how much is a 400+ HP Mustang worth when Ford comes out with a 900Hp electric? I don't ...

I didn't know that, I think there is a lot for me to learn b4/if I try it.

It's been something I've been thinking about for a long time. I don't recall where, but I found a supplier that makes motor plates that mount to Ford bell housings and adapters to mount the clutch to the motor shaft. There were a few options for motors to mount to it. The idea of being able to put ...

my ? is when one of those cars short circuit and pops the fuse how long before you get your charge ??????? Hence the reason you should carry a portable wind mill with you at all times. But seriously that recharge question is a good piont I haven't thought of & I think you're correct in that the...

All good points. I like the idea of an electric motor although the one thing I really dislike is not hearing my engine, I just wanna hear it whether it's a hot rod or not. But anyway the little bit of research I've done is leading me to believe electric crate motors will soon be available from the m...

I realize I'm pbly gonna get burned for this one but has anyone done it or thinking about it? I'll be retired before long and thinking of doing this with a short stepside/flareside. Haven't checked into it much but for someone like me who's skill set does not include engine mechanic the are some adv...

Me being not the most mechanically adept guy on here I can just offer some general advice. Boring 80 over would scare me a bit because that's near the max on a lot of engines from what I hear. 300's may be different but if it needs bored that far a new block may be something to consider depending on...

Personnaly I would avoid a high volume oil pump. When rebuilding my 460 (now 521) i was told the high volume oil pump is a bad idea unless you are going more full race with the engine. No experience with the subject just what I was told by some builders at the time.

Good luck.

Now that I stop and think about yeah I bet you're right, or it's setting on a dodge frame lol.

Yeah looks kinda nice from here for only $2500 (atleast to me it does). Not many details in the add.....

Not mine. Some folks seem to really like the crew cabs so I put this one up.

Mines a 61 with similar issues try "naty light" it's non presription & available at most drugstores, grocery stores, gas stations etc but ya gotta be 21 to buy it. Works for me been useing it for decades. Good luck.(Warning: Don't operate heavey equipment, or anything else, when useing...

Thought someone might need it, pbly easier than fixing a bad one. Not mine.

Not mine and I don't if the application information is correct.

Cheap and they're fairly rust free. I need a trailor.

Nice, I wish i had your mechanical skills. From looking at the last pic of the frame/rear end looks like it's going to be a bit more than the daily driver you mentioned?

That guy did an excellent jog of screwing up a slick.
