this first picture shows the difference in the 91 burb engine mounting brackets, (the same as a 87 pickup) http://kieth.smugmug.com/Trucks/66-G...03189305_KyUKk This shows how we notched the frame and drilled other holes in the burb front donor crossmember to make the engine sit 1.5" farther forward, and 3/4" lower---clearances were fine and everything cleared the firewall. http://kieth.smugmug.com/Trucks/66-G...03189432_aLzkW Just click on next whre it says 97 of 416 to see the progression of the motor mounts. Here is a shot of the cab on the chasis----the engine, the distributor, the cruise control------everything cleared just fine. http://kieth.smugmug.com/Trucks/66-G...49354417_Z7puY Oh forgot, here is a shot of the crossmember for the 700r4: http://kieth.smugmug.com/Trucks/66-G...53807236_gi9yc |

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
Well, heading home soon from the desert.
Plans - Order Moser Ford 9" 35 spline axles with wave loc posi Install rear fuel tank Remove old 350 and install 454. Paint engine bay prior to install then after paint truck. Finish truck. The Rx7 in my daily driver now. I need to do a diff swap though to an IRS 8.8 so it can keep up with the LS. After I get the truck finished, I'll do a light rebuild on the LS to ensure good rings, bearings etc. For now I'm focousing on the truck.. not much left. Alex |

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
Looks good...keep us updated with your progress.
BTW. that rear diff in your truck is a 12 bolt. And X2 on the HEI....it should fit without any problems.

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
I didn't see the distributor you have. All of the large cap HEI's are the same physical size. I really don'y know why some guys are experiencing issues with a HEI distributor hitting the firewall. I as well as others have used them without issues. The bellhousing crossmembers are in the same place as are the motor mount bracket holes. I just haven't figured out what the problem could be.

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
Arekusu, nice job on the build! How much work was it to get that grille to bolt up?

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
Ya, I really like the older front end too. I think it makes it look more tough. Anyway, the grill wasn't hard to bolt up. I'm guessing the reason why is because the mouth is off of a 60-62, the holes are different. My 64 grill did not bolt up to the mouth because the holes were different but the older grill, no problem. I'll get that pic of the shifter tomorrow afternoon. I really appreciate all the comments. Other people like my rusted pile of something too.

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
Alex, thanks for the info, if you dont mind I would love a little more detail. My 64 has the 64 mouth, in your case was it just a matter of the bolt holes not lining up or was there structural differences as well? thanks!!

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
On my girl's '65, we have a 350 in it, engine in the rear position, and the HEI fits fine. Is your engine sitting closer to the fire wall than stock?

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
I'm curious about the T-5 too. Did you have to shorten the driveshaft at all, or did it bolt right in? What trans was in it before? I have a t-5 behind a 351 in my Cougar, and yes, 5 gears is amazing in a classic.
Your truck looks great!

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
the problem I had with the HEI conversion was there was not enough room to drop the distributor (with the cap off) in due to the forward slope of the fire wall, I had to unbolt the transmission and jack up the rear of the engine to gain the proper clearance, after the distributor was 3/4 of the way in there was plenty of room to lift it up to move the distributor around to get it properly timed.

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
Nice truck you have there. Good choice on the hood. I like the older look of the 60, 61 hood. My 60 came with a 64 hood when I bought it. The hood was the fist thing I replaced.
Heres a pic of another New Mexico truck rescued from the ranch. ![]()
