They are available now. And about half the price of the 68-72. I can't figure that one out.

Drailed - I see you're from my area up here. Are you planning on going to the GTOAA International conference in Saratoga / Lebanon Valley drag race event?

I should have the TA at the Valley May 4th if all goes well at the DYNO shop this weekend.

Oh, do you have a contact information on the 64-67 one piece floors? Thanks.

What are you planning to do with the car/400 ? What is the 400 going into?.

I have a 67 Lemans. Ive had a 400 in it with 670 heads for the last 15 years. I converted the car to a 4 speed back in the early 90s but id like to go back to an auto. Theres been some good top end deals that ive missed out on in the last couple months. I would like to go with some kind of stoker kit. I was looking at the crank and rods greaserdegreaser has for sale but not sure if 4.50 stroke may be a bit much for my block. This is the link to the floorpans.

looking for around 500-550. Like to stay around 11/1 compression. It will probably end up being more of a strip car.

I like the sounds of that !!! If your present motor runs good... it might be a shame to rebuilt it. Might be better to put that aside and find a stock block to build your new motor. 1967 400 casted blocks are the best but other casting are still good for the sort of horse you are talking about.

Ive got the motor torn down now. The block is a 70. Looked good when I pulled it apart since I rebuilt it back in 93. Most of the time it didnt see an easy life. I want to get things rolling soon before another summer is over and gone. Maybe next winter have it painted

Besides rotating assemblies have you started to think about heads?

Ed, why is this pan about half the price of 68-72 pans?
Thanks Paul
