The rear end was replaced last year and I now have confirmation that 3.73 gears with posi was installed. The trans is a T-10 from God knows what, and now might be a good time to mention nothing is original on this car.

That sounds like a really fun job! That was my first Mecum experience, but my brother and Dad had been before. Since then, we've alternated between those two auctions every year.

Thanks Don, you've answered one of my biggest questions here. I wasn't sure what to look for on the rotating assembly to see if any changes have been made without pulling the heads. Checking for notches has just made my to-do list. Based off sound alone, it doesn't sound like it has too much...

Hi Phil, That was a great auction, my first time at Mecum in Florida. My brother, Dad and uncle usually hit Barrett Jackson Az in January every year, but that year we decided to mix it up and hit Mecum. The only thing I could afford was a hot dog!

Lot's of good information here. There is definitely no NOS on it, but I'll keep looking ;) The rear end was rebuilt last year with Posi and I believe 3.73 gears, but I'll have to double check on that. For all those interested, I've started another thread about the motor and work, follow along...

Thanks for the warm welcome! We will definitely be looking into stroker kits, but I’d like to find out more about what the PO did first. Here’s my Dad with the 4 speed Biscayne. Aesthetically it looks exactly like his from when he was 18. He bought his with the 6 cylinder, saved some cash and...

Hello all, I've lurked here for a while and thought it best to finally introduce myself. I personally don't own any classic cars, but am fortunate to have a brother that does and he's really good about sharing the keys. Our addiction to cars was passed down by our Dad who used to street race a...
