Entry fee was $5.00, which would be $25 today. So maybe $15.00 isn't that bad. Hmmm!

TRP $50 to win Animal Eliminator

I won my first Animal Eliminator in 1970 with my 1968 SS396 350hp blue metalflaked Camaro. For my effort I received a T shirt, a three and a half foot trophy, and $50.00. Wow! $50.00. Let me tell you, in 1970 that was alot of money. If you win today, you still receive the T shirt, a shorter trophy, ...

Xerox and I had a great time! We managed to find several little things we didn't realize that we needed. We spent a little over an hour inside the two halls and then two hours plus on the outside to cover every thing else. The weather was great for the middle of November in Canton, OH. Sang polka mu...

Great progress. If you had a part number for that steel clutch line or a truck year and model, I'd go see Bob with Basement's number and price that thing out at this end.

Good idea. Probably should include the car, the strip, the date, best et, and best mph. What else?

I went to Napa with a picture of your fitting, no help. So I went back to Classic Ford with the picture. Unfortunately, Bob said he couldn't really help without a model or part number. He suggested a custom clutch outfit. Judging by the helmet, it looks like your taking the hill by yourself. Too lon...

If your lucky, maybe there is a pilot bearing from a standard transmission still in the crank if the crank was reconditioned. I'm not to sure how important the crank hole is anyway. Possibly you could use a die grinder to make the hole large enough to allow the converter to set flush. I believe the ...

My 1968 Camaro SS396 350HP had two Holley spreadbores on it in 1970. I didn't like the 800 and eventually kept the 650 (actual 715) on it. That carb was on many many other cars over the years. Eventually I got that carb back. It is now being very useful lighting up my work bench. http://img1.postima...

Hmmm! Last entry in mid-September. Will we see this 406 make a pass this year with the best cool weather coming up?

Great idea. Don't know when I'll see you but I'll definitely take one of those caps. What color are they? How about a picture. Grins.

Looks really sweet! Doesn't look like there is too much more to do before we can see what it turns. Probably a very short punch list. I wonder if Tiresmoke remembers what all those pedals on the floor are for?

Too bad! I hate to see the 5 speed go. Not sure you need to pull the motor to swap in the C6, just pull the tranny. I wonder if the length of the C6 is the same as the ZF5. This will introduce many new and interesting questions. I know where you can get back 1.25 inches. Waiting for next weeks insta...
