This is a new NOS 250hp Nitrous Oxide Cheater System.

It contains a FULL 10 pound bottle, the kit, two 4 barrel carb adapter plates for dual four barrel Holley carbs, a NOS pressure gauge.

I had it mounted but never used it.

This can not be shipped because of the full bottle and needs to be picked up here.

PM me here if interested.

Parts For Sale / 1969-70 Ford Boss 429 Battery Tray
« on: January 14, 2024, 01:54:49 PM »
This is an original 69-70 Assembly line Boss 429 battery tray.

It has been glass beaded and repainted.

It isn't perfect but it is very nice AND an original Ford part. Not a reproduction.

PM me here if interested.

$650 plus shipping.

I tend to think no with some of the variations I have seen on some '67s BUT I have seen cars that CLAIM to be completely original with just one color of primer?

It appears sometimes to be glossy in spots and flat in other spots and the redness seems to vary front to back?


5
I don't remember this being covered? Is the battery tray just relocated from the front to the trunk or is there a something else pulled from another application?

Is there a part number on it?

The Lounge / What do '68 W 427 heads, exhaust manifolds, intake look like?
« on: December 26, 2023, 10:40:28 AM »
Anyone have some pictures of these that they can post?

I presume that they are just 390 GT parts but I just don't know for sure. Just looking for some help here, not to argue. Thanks.

Were they moved together on one side? The A/C seems to interfere with the driver's side mounting location?

Parts For Sale / 1967 Ford FE 4 speed rear cross member 390 STD
« on: December 07, 2023, 01:52:27 PM »
This is a really nice 1967 Original Assembly Line 390 STD  4 speed manual rear cross member.

It is stamped 390 STD, 7 6,  5 20 (May 20, 1967) A,  X,  and R.

It has been glass beaded and repainted.


These 4 speed manual rear cross members are different then the small blocks and any of the automatic transmission cross members.
This one is definitely a 1967 version.

Each year is shaped differently in order to clear the factory exhaust H pipes which vary according to model years.

This one would be an excellent choice if you are restoring a late build '67 GT500 with a 4 speed manual transmission.



The price on this is $695.  $20 to ship USPS Flat Rate, Large Box within the Continental US.  Additional to go elsewhere at whatever the additional cost is.


Payment by Paypal, "Friends and Neighbors" please.


PM me here if interested.

Parts For Sale / Ford FE 390-428 Rocker arm assemblies
« on: December 07, 2023, 11:18:41 AM »
This is a set of 2 stock Ford 390-428 non-adjustable rocker arm assemblies.

They have been sitting in my shop for quite a while and will need to be disassembled and cleaned before installation.

They appear to have little wear on them and the engine that they came out of had 32,000 miles. So I think that is about right.

They are good usable assemblies and are original production line Ford parts as far as I can tell.


The best shipping method at this point for them is undetermined. I will ship them anywhere for cost.

If interested, PM me here.

$60 for the pair plus shipping.

Parts For Sale / 428 Push Rods
« on: December 07, 2023, 11:12:19 AM »
This is a new set of TRW service push rods for a 428.

They were sold to me as hardened but I can't verify that without scratching them with a file.

They are ball to ball so they are for the hydraulic lifter application that uses non-adjustable rocker arms.

They measure just a hair under 9.5" but push rods get measured from the rocker arm sockets to the hydraulic lifter sockets so I can't verify that they are 9.350" official lengths?

I will ship in the continental US in a USPS Medium size flat rate box and will ship overseas for whatever extra that is.

Price is $60 for the set of 16, plus $15 shipping (continental US)

PM me here if interested.

The Lounge / Cylinder Head Flow numbers
« on: November 27, 2023, 10:57:33 AM »
For those of you interested in subjects like this check out this web site.

http://users.erols.com/srweiss/tablehdc.htm

The Tunnel Port 302 cylinder heads did receive much negative press back in 68 but they really aren't the main culprit in the Ford racing failures that year.

For one thing there is no way that they flowed numbers that Ford had published. In fact they were around 250 on the intakes.

The iron Boss 302's stock were actually a little better out of the box BUT if you follow some of the magazine articles on the race prep for the B2 heads, they were getting epoxied down quite a bit to make the rpm usefulness scale.

It may just be that the C head was more adaptable to race prep then the TP was.

The only head of interest to me that Weiss has not tested is the GT40 iron head from what I can see. Even the Gurney head is on the list of testing.

All in all this is an interesting read and should answer many questions as well as probably shocking you as to how bad stock heads were out of the box then especially
considering what today's aftermarket heads do.

1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR / 68 Shelby rear panel screws
« on: October 11, 2023, 08:48:49 AM »
Are the black screws that hold the rear fiberglass taillight panel in place "black stainless"? Are they truss head or something else?
