I need to give new lifters to the guy rebuilding my 292. It is .040 over. Are these the correct lifter to buy? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/cca-2931-16/overview/

How much are you asking for it? Got any pics of it?

I am looking for a 57.25" wide rear end. Preferably out of a wagon or sedan delivery, but doesn't have to be. Looking for posi.

Love those headers. Anyone know where I can get headers that will work in a 55 Customline? Rebuilt 292 going in. I've heard about Red's, but opinions vary. Thanks for any help.

Here are some others. You kind of have to compare. Some places sell the same thing for a lot more or less than the others. http://www.joblotauto.com/ http://WWW.EARLYFORDSTORE.COM/ http://concoursparts.com/ http://macsautoparts.com/ http://www.larrystbird.com Definitely price compare.

I am looking for the actual two tones of blue that are on the interior of the car. Anyone know where I could find these colors?

As usual, I am glad I came here first. Thanks very much. A few more questions. How will I know if the ball joints need to be replaced? I was planning on using the existing stabilizer bar with new poly bushings, but I have seen some folks via for a larger diameter bar. Is there that much of a...

Ok, so I've got the Aerostar springs and Kyb shocks ready to go on. I've got the shocks off so far. I've consulted the 1955 Ford Service Manual. It talks about using a special tool to remove the ball joints to replace the springs. Is there an easier/better way without messing with the ball...

Thanks for the pages of codes. I tried cleaning the tag, which seems to be 58 or later and can't get anything more from it. I've attached two pics from number cast onto trans. It looks like PAK - 7006 - D to me. Could be PAH or PAW also. Definently a 7006 D though. Also, there are 14 bolts...

Here is the best I have right now.

How can I tell what year the "newer" trans is from? I am not even sure what year it is from. I know for sure the heads and intake are from 57 and the block is from 60 by the codes. There is a tag on the trans, but i havent found a way to see what year it is actually from.

Sounds like the engine should be fairly easy, but the transmisson could pose a problem. I guess I'll measure everything that is on the car now and get back on here with those. Hard telling what's going on under their. I was told that 55 272's should have had the liquid cooled trans, not the air...

I have a 1955 Customline with a 272 Fordomatic. I am going to be putting a rebuilt 292 in place of the old/original 272. The block is from 1960 and the intake and heads are from a 1957. My question is this: Are the motor mounts different on a 1960 292 engine block and a 1955 272 engine block...

pic?

Here are a few other catalogs to check out: http://www.dennis-carpenter.com http://www.frpartsstore.com Love this blog. Very helpful.

Again, this is very helpful. Thank you. Might seem like a stupid question, but are the KYB part numbers you gave me good for after I lower the back 3" and the front goes down 1.5" with the Brake Kit? Is that Granada Brake Kit the best way to go?

Thanks so much of all the advice. Love this forum, just like I love my 1955 Customline. So, a new Isky E-4 Cam with springs to match should do the trick? One of the exhaust manifold was cracked, so I was going to go with the one's I've attached. Love the Ram's Horns, but they will definitely...

Ok, here goes. I have a 1955 Fordor Customline. Original 272 with FordOMatic. Runs pretty well. I purchased a 292 out of a 1957 Ford. It came with a newer FordOMatic attached. The guy I bought it from took it out of the car himself. He has built many a Y-Block in his days. After cleaning it up...

So, 292 with a four barrel carb and a newer than 57 distributor. Ok, update to 12 volt?

Will a AOD transmission bolt right on to a 292 Y-Block? What do you mean by Y Block out of the way?
