Does anyone reproduce the 3 hole per spoke 15" steering wheel? Thank you, Paul.

I know there were many  running changes made in the 65 model production and this group of questions applies to only the 15 inch wheel with slotted spokes:

1) did some original steering wheels have aluminum showing around the outside of the wheel(profile view) as opposed to the wood being wrapped around the rim?

2) did all 15" steering wheels come with chrome over steel attaching hubs?

3) do original steering wheels have any company logo or other identifying numbers/letters in the aluminum?

Thank you, Paul.

While assembling a hipo 289 motor, I discovered that one of the valve lifters was damaged in shipment. Upon opening the box of lifters, the package of assembly lube was empty(crushed) and lube had saturated the inside of the box. After looking closely at the lifter, it's not physically distorted but it will not easily go into or out of any of the lifter bores in my block. Also, all the other lifters will easily go into and out of any/all lifter bores (not a bore problem but lifter).
1) Is it important to use same manufacturer?
2) Does anybody have a source for a single mechanical lifter?
3) Does anybody have a partial set that they be willing to part with? 
Thank you, Paul @817-691-0159.

Same friend now needs a complete engine or just a Hipo  block. He's wanting one with date codes of January 65 through February 66. I'll pass on seller's info to friend as he doesn't visit this site often, thank you. Paul at 817-691-0159.

What wiper arm is correct? Both cars in question are 1966 GT 350's, one  produced at Ford in November 1965 and the other delivered to SA in March 1966. What arms are original, chrome  or brushed finish wiper arms,  bases flared or non-flared? Thank you,Paul

Would a 1966 GT 350 leaving Shelby American factory have an exterior mirror mounted on the door, and if so, would the mirror be listed on the original factory invoice?

Looking for either bare HIPO  block or complete short block assembly(harmonic balancer to flywheel). Must be casting dates of January, February, or March 1965. Any leads appreciated. Thank you, Paul Marvin at 817-691-0159.

I purchased a beautiful standard bore hipo block(5 bolt) from forum member. I need a flywheel for it.

1) Is the 5 bolt hipo flywheel different from the hipo flywheel used on a 6 bolt block?

2) If a hipo flywheel is different from non hipo flywheel, how other than paint daub and hardness test mark can I identify it?

Thank you in advance. Paul.

I seem to remember vaguely how to confirm if a rear end has a locker without disassembling it.
1) without axels installed, you can see right through the 3rd member, end to end.
2) with weight off the rear wheels, turning one wheel by hand also turns other side wheel.
3) with weight off the rear wheels, if one wheel is turned, you cannot hold the other side static.

Any thoughts/corrections? Thank you in advance. Paul.

Aren't these what were originally on the 65 when new(white & flat along the top)?

I have three, cars # SFM5S147, 441, and 541; all street cars.

Respectfully, None are for sale!

I would consider trading any two of mine into 289 street COBRA or R Model.

Interested parties who own a COBRA or R Model please contact me via email.
