Thanks Larry I like to drive my Car. I've driven A's & T's for years. I had a Tudor and sold it a few years back. Now I have the 31 S/W that I'm re doing. We have hills, long gradual hills, country roads, occasional highway driving. Not looking for speed. As with all A's your driving along, you...

Thanks guys. great feed back. Larry, which head were they running, your 5.9 of the 6.0 or 6.0+. Did they also have a .330 cam ?

What would be the best combination with the 3:54 R&P. (head,cam)

Thanks Brent, Which cam & combo would not make me regret the 3.54. Is the Stipe cam a new one ? Does Snyder's or Bratton's carry the Stipe parts ?

Hey guys, we have been thru this, but just wanted to make sure before I lay out the mula for the parts. I am working on 31 160B s/w 4dr. I was going to go with the High compression head 6:1 or 5.5:1 not sure which. Would the 3.54 R&P be too low. I had a Tudor a while back and seemed when I...

I'd be interested to know how you make out. I have a 160B that I am currently working on with the same problem. I'm not sure if my sockets are still in the pillar. I was thinking along the same lines of using one of the external sockets, but haven't had the time to experiment. Does Bratton's...

So I quess the conclusion is: The 3:54 for the lighter cars. Best combo would be 5.5 head + 3:78 RG with Ryan overdrive ? For best performance on the NE hills. Would the new 6.1 head too much ?

Happy Thanksgiving All ! Great pics Doug. I wish mine looked like that. Mine are chopped off after the risers and (I don't think you could call it welding) a rear section welded on. Good luck with the car.

Doug, I'll have to take a closer measurment of that bracket(riser). One was broken off the other was there but not sure if it was correct. I did measure from the bottom below the rivet and I believe that dim. was 5". Is there any site that might show an example of the complete SW bracket ?

COMPLETE, ULTIMATE, TOOL !!!! PARDON me i can't stop laughing !! I'll have to check my tool box to see if ones missing.

I have a question. I have a Slant Window Town sedan. I also need rear bumper brackets. I plan on having the side mount and no spare on the back. Would I be able to buy the 4DR sedan brackets and add the proper uprights ? What's left on mine measure 4 1/2 from top to center of rivets. I see them...

How does one order your shocks ? Website ?

How much difference did the 5.5 head make from running the stock ?

I just found out that my Ryan Overdrive is a 23%. (new in box). It seems that I will go with the 3:78 RG based on the great feed back. I never had any experience with the 3:54 in a light or heavier 4dr. My concern was to keep the RPM's down on the everyday back/street roads, down hills, etc. and...

John, when you say new one, Which ratio is new ? How are you sure to get the new version of the head?
