No nude models allowed, Bill!

I'm betting the pics are too large.

classic conversions · October 23, 2011, 07:24:26 PM

Yes to large?? 2048 X 1536

ex-tyke · October 23, 2011, 08:36:32 PM

Per forum rules - no photos larger than 600KB.
Pretty well requires a free download pic resizer programme like 'PIXresizer'.....

It's not really necessary to download a program for this. You can use a handy online tool like this one:

Thank you Curtis.

Sorry but Im a little ignorant when it comes to the short forms. I have a 1969 BGT will this kit work without a lot of additional mod. ? THANKS DAVE

Merv: PIXresizer is great for single photos. If you want to re-size a batch of photos, I like Visualizer-Photo-Resizer.

Welcome to the forum, Dave!

CB = "chrome bumper" = up through 1974
RB = "rubber bumper" = from 1974.5 on

So yes, this kit is applicable to your 69 GT.

Bill,

How much fabrication is necessary to do along with this kit? Bolt in? The only fab work that I'd like to do is the holes for the exhaust.

***Graham, We spoke when I saw your car at the meet last summer, I'm in the Detroit area, I would like to get a better look at it when the weather warms if possible...I have a GT the wants to be like that when it grows up!!!

Mark, I'm sure we can work out a tire-kicking session somewhere near Motown - I'll be visiting Kayak Jack in Dearborn when top down weather gets here......will keep you informed.

classic conversions · March 06, 2012, 11:15:12 AM

Mark, the same fabrication is needed when installing a V8 in a an MGB.
The kit will facilitate the installation of the V8 since it is a bolt on kit all you need is to drill holes.
It also allows for pinion angle by just adjusting the motor mounts.
For headers Teds from Fast Cars will work. We will work on headers if it is enough interest.

ahdriver · March 06, 2012, 01:03:21 PM

Thanks Gentlemen...

Bill, I know I had talked to you about the V6 route, but I have all the main parts for the V8 swap just collecting dust. The only area of question at this point is will my TKO3550 fit without too much tunnel modifications? Any thoughts?

No mods needed to the tunnel

I like that Traction BAR

kayakjack · March 10, 2012, 04:08:15 PM

Hey, Mark, Graham, Dave and you, too, Bill if you can make the drive! :-) The Traction Bar is a good stop. Count me in! ! ! I got my 80 B 3.5L out of the garage today. I went for a long drive and it's running good. The garage temp was 43 degrees but I think that will be as low as it gets from now on. Hope to see you all soon! Let me know the day. Maybe I'll use the Ford setup in the 79 B.

classic conversions · March 10, 2012, 04:43:27 PM

43 !!!! that is my refrigerator temp.
