My 1965 project Old Mobile 442 build

re

more banging, welding, cutting, etc. I really wish there were more aftermarket parts made for the 65 Olds...

















The Art Carr 200R4 arrived!








We did some serious work on the frame to make sure we didnt have to modify the headers, those "direct fit" hookers are all but a "direct fit", now the engine can move freely without the headers hitting the frame

Thanks, that 442 in your avatar looks pretty dang nice! I would love to see more of it!

Here's the link to my 442. http://www.bangshift.com/forum/showt...23670-1966-442

It's nothing too fancy but I enjoy it. Your are doing a great job on making things fit. I had the same issues with the headers. I like your solution much better than mine (hammer and heat).

We paid a lot of attention to detail on the 468 build, Custom ground cam, windage tray, ported the heads twice, splash tray in the oil valley and welded to the under side of the intake, ported intake, etc etc, the last thing I wanted to do was rob a few HP with banging on the brand new headers, on the flip side it would not have been an easy task to do what we did to the frame if I didnt have a very colse friend that has one heck of a machine shop. Jegs actually sent me the worng headers once, they sent headers for a 68 model, You should have seen us trying to get those to fit properly. They didnt want to take them back either, but luckily the salesman remembered our conversation and admitted I had ordered headers for a 65.

Weird..... I usually have no problems seeing pictures, you other guys do.

This thread has it backwards. Looks like everyone else can see it but me? All I'm getting are the infamous RedX's... Boo...

I was really excited to see this car too. Sounds like something I'd like to do with my '66 Special.

oh man, you're missing the most awesome pictures on the net.... too bad for you, huh?

SOMETIMES if I copy/paste to mail and not send it... Wait a min or so. SOMETIMES the pics and youtube ,links show when there are blank posts or the wonderful blue X's .. Other times they just pop up...

Welcome to BS! That's what I like about this place too, the diversity. As a Ford guy it's nice to see guys with Olds. Looks like you've done this once or twice *G*

[mlcraven]

Very nice work indeed. Welcome to BangShift!

ya know, you can either help him or laugh at him.... choose one

I looked when I got home.....nananananaaa!

They never do show up at work, which is really strange. I rarely get a picture that won't show up, and as stated, usually they will pop up with some refreshing, or at a different time of the day.

He's using photobucket to host them, which is the same thing I do.

Seriously weird.
