Factory air conditioned cars had a stamped sheet metal shroud for the 17-1/2” tall heavy duty radiator and 19” fan. I have 2 of those shrouds, one being original to my ‘64 Le Mans convertible with...

Going to wash it, insure it, register it and start driving it again. :)

Might even go crazy and buy a car cover for it, it’s a garage queen that never sits outside.

18x8” all around on 235/40-18 tires.

Crazy that a 2023 Civic Sport comes equipped that way now as standard, and it’s their lowest priced Civic.

It’s kinda like a Pontiac……you know 4 wheels and...

Not really because the 421 block has a pretty robust casting compared to the 389s. However that much overbore kind of diminishes the value to a certain extent. When I bought my 421 it was standard...

Absolutely not 421 pistons. The valve reliefs are completely different on a 421.

The valve reliefs and dish shown are what forged 428 replacement TRW/Sealed Power 12cc pistons all look like.

Standard bore size is 4.09375” for the 421.

4.120” is standard bore for the 428.

4.160” is +.040” for the 428 pistons so you’re poking that 421 .06625” over which seems excessive unless the...

I once tried to switch from 10x28” slicks to 9x29” (15x8.5” wheels) on my ‘64 GTO bracket car. A total no-go, just way too tall.

The crossmember will be tilted rearward at a very slight angle when you slide it back if you retain the stock rubber insulators and clamp mounting. This presents zero issues.

Short shaft like the A-body cars.

The ‘69 GP sits on what’s essentially an A-body chassis stretched 6” ahead of the engine.

Former ‘69 GP owner here so I’m not guessing. ;)
