I don't need any big block parts, I'm keeping my 351W and warming it up a tad.
What I do need is an upper control arm. Anyone got one? The barer the better.

What do you have...

Hey Gearworks,

I have a '69 429 Thunderjet C6 slighlty modified, from a '69 Bird (like to keep it in the family!). I need a powersteering pump and bracket. I have my '78 pump (the one with the plastic resovoir), and bracket on the block now but the lines are stretched to the limit and it's a little wobbly since I had to modify the bracket to make it work. Do you have something that works or any ideas on how to make it work? I'd also be interested in an A/C compressor and condensor.
Also, I put a set of 3.25 in the rear and need the correct speedo gear (the tranny has the original one from the '69, probably in the 2.75 or something like that)

I'm in the process of swapping cams now, I had the Performer RPM installed when I built the engine, great cam, but a dog off the start. I'm installing the Lunati 0096. Should be a little better. Any tips and tricks for swapping?

Thanks

JOE
