Of course had to do a trial fit of the 427 Side Oiler and the Cobra Jet C-6 Trans before complete chassis teardown.

[EcoBoostedF100]

A little more elbow grease and it was all apart.

[EcoBoostedF100]

dragged it outside for a quick sandblast before off to powdercoat.

[EcoBoostedF100]

appeared rear axle grease had never been changed. It was so thick it would not flow!

[EcoBoostedF100]

a few days later and powdercoat was done

[EcoBoostedF100]

One thing nice about going back to stock is easy assembly. No mods needed

[EcoBoostedF100]

started to assemble the side oiler . . .





Then for some odd reason started to check on the now avail new Side Oiler Blocks, CNC heads, how about a street roller cam and got a bit carried away!

Where does it stop?

[EcoBoostedF100]

of course the cobra jet C-6 had been sitting since 1970 and never been apart . .

Complete teardown was needed

[EcoBoostedF100]

at some point someone put a bottle jack under front of trans and popped a hole in it. A patch and a bit of TIG work and it was ready to roll.

[EcoBoostedF100]

Trans ready for install. (yes my first automatic trans rebuild so lets hope it works)

[EcoBoostedF100]

off to some body work . .

Stripping the hood. One application and it was bare metal

[EcoBoostedF100]

fenders were up next

Not even a door ding!

[EcoBoostedF100]

a bit of metal prep

[EcoBoostedF100]

a bit of primer
