Biggest is swapping the Tremec TKO for the TKX. The TKO is just to tight in the '69.5 tunnel. Tremec says we are starving the front of the trans because we can't get it any higher than 5.1° down. The TKX should solve that without cutting the tunnel...I hope.

These took several revisions to get correct, the hood lines although they look straight, are not. There is a very slight curve that is not noticeable when running tape parallel to the...

It's been a while. As of January, I am now retired, so please feel free to put pressure on me to get back to my Comet. LOL.

I am looking at the Tri Y Headers from Scott Drake and they look tight enough to the engine to be promising for our applications in Mavericks and Comets. Wondering if anyone out there has already attempted this and what the results were?

I didn’t think much about it when I removed them, assuming my 72 door brackets would work. It looks like they won’t. The 72 brackets are boxed in, where the 74 brackets are held in place with tabs. These are the brackets that the bolts thread into on the door. I’ll need to fabricate and tap new brackets. Does...

When I’m ordering my parts, is there a better year to order? I’ve been searching 1971 just because of the 302 availability but were there upgrades over the years that I can still swap to my 1970 frame?
Thanks!]]> 7
