Who has used the classic conversions kit?

[kill r b]

Scot, thank you for a courteous reply. I know you as a gentleman and I know we both value our friendship with each other. Because I don't agree with some of your methods doesn't mean I don't see you as an accomplished person. I think you are correct in saying that I over extend myself when I engineer new products. This is me and you are one of the few people who respect that because we have always had a great deal in common. Our thought processes are not much different, I just take mine to a very high level of developmental application. You can cut it off while I get obsessed. I think it is a fault to be like me. I would always hope to find a guy like me if I needed assistance. Maybe I am a pain in the a$$ to some but I never been called out for being anything but honest. None of our products never ever had a problem in any fashion. I can say that to anybody and challenge them over it. A lot of new doin's is happenin' since our move into the new shop and you know you are always welcome to visit anytime.

 After reading my thread to you does seem a bit harsh but it's hard to convey a sneaky smile in a sentence. Never worry about your status with me, I'm still the same old temperamental old goat I always was. The friends I have understand me and I understand them. I don't have a whole lot of friends but I would trust my life with most of them and vice versa. The last I heard from you, you had a big homebuilding project going on. Did you ever get it the way you wanted?

BTW, did you know that the first Killer B was produced in 1992? This makes me the guru of the 60V6 swap set and an honor I cherish. I was there in the conversion business long before big Bill and I have a small plate on that car autographed by Mr. Costello himself complimenting the conversion that says "Great job Mike and Dann" and then his handwritten signature. Well that was a great inspiration to me and I always followed Costello's praise by producing the best products possible. Mr. Mike Maloney was the purchaser of that vehicle in the year 1999 I believe and he loved it and drove it for a quite few years. He always said he really liked the car so much he used to take it out and run it hard to get his "fix". Mike is a collector/distributor, if you will, of unusual cars and he exchanges rides on occasion just to purchase another interesting ride. Mike sold it to a gentleman in the Midwest I believe and occasionally I get an email from him telling me that "my car" is the most delightful car he has ever owned. So much for bragging but now it's a historical fact that the first 60V6 conversion known nationwide was the blue Killer B. I still have a photo of the signed plate hanging in my office. New, better and great things are brewing in the works at the new shop. It's great to have something fill in my life again.

[classic conversions]

Scott, glad that you can your own.

I started CCE in 2000, did my first V6 2.8 Ford in 1979 and a V8 in 1973 215 with a 3 speed manual trans in a 68 GT LOL it came from a Buick Skylark.
First GM 60 degree V6 in 1998 for a friend and that is what started CCE. I ma not a Guru at anything, I will become one when I stropped learning.

Those who do their own conversion parts got the ideas from what Dann calls vendors. The big one that everyone does when they do their own mounts is the use of the cross member bolts to mount the engine, the first was CCE which now is commonly used by everyone.
I know of a gentleman here in Ca. who tried to copy Dann's blue GT, he finally gave up. He would have never started the conversion if he had not seen Dann's GT in one of his travels and that is a good thing.

 BTW the blue GT, Mike sold it to a gentleman here in Ca who lived in Canoga Park or Thousand Oaks, which is about 10 miles from me. The last time I saw the car was at our car show about 4 years ago. I am sure it still around, but a no show at the car shows or car events.

Scot you may claim that the kits cost to much for what you get, there is a cost involve and yes a profit my is small since I do not have a big overhead. Our products are well design and finish as if they are going to be shown at a car show.
Our headers are flow design, many hours spend in the flow table all of products are of a high quality and design to be easy to install such as our V6, 4 link, pulley kits and soon our front end kit, which it has been on the table for 4 years.
 Dann's products are of a good quality also I am sure we all do our best for those who want a kit for a RWD, FWD V6. or Ford V8.

I am very happy that you can do it on the cheap and sure that it will be a nice swap.

You an I have talked on the phone several times. Writing is very impersonal and can lead to misunderstandings.


I have seem several MGB's V6 and V8 that have owners build motor mounts etc. Very few looked ok the rest? one has to wonder.
