Re: Restoring a 1970 T-bird
X-/ doh! I forgot about the possibility of a seize up...
And the with the 4.11s I was using big car with 4.6/302/351 logic yeah now that you mention it 4.11s behind a 429 would blow the tires clean off and 3000 rpm at cruising speed would be hard in a big block
Oh I had assumed this was a torino based bird now that I look into it nope.... No headers... :-/
As for the magnet for the pan, I just picked up 50 dime sized "rare earth" magnets off ebay for 5 dollars, they have like 5 lbs of pull each and I stuck 5 of them on each oil filter I own (just remember that they are there next time you get your oil changed) and a couple on the back of the dif drain plug.
