61 biscayne build
- Thread starter Dean's 61 bubble
- Start date
yeah, you're probably right on the valve stems...sometimes i don't keep all the sizing correct in my head. Know that we kept the stock guides.
well, drivetrain out of Impala. Now in cleanup engine compartment process.. Shaffer built 409 is going back in behind my Art Carr built 200-4R. rear is stocked housing with Richmond geared (3.70) with Eaton posi (Aubrey caps)and Dutchman axles, 4 linked...Hopefully it will hold up if i'm not too abusive. Just couldn't wait on the Biscayne for my hotter engine, so it will get the 380 incher someday. wishing good health to you all.

Quite nice!!!!
well, new Shaffer built stroker now is sitting in my hardtop, so i am working on getting everything hooked up and hope to have it running in a few days....nerves starting to set in.
Dean,
Do you still want pictures of the lower clutch rods that we last discussed in February in this posting?
I now have some pictures of the lower threaded clutch rod/pin and clutch fork (from 2 of my 62's )that works with your under dash 61 clutch and brake pedals and your upper rod with a 61 Z bar (with a pin).

So sorry Paul, been absorbed with changing drivetrain and updating my Impala for the last couple months. YES, i want to buy the pieces you have and recommend for my Biscayne. You certainly know more about the parts i need than i do. Did you say i can use my 6 banger Z bar? Please just let me know if you can box up the stuff and let me know the price and i send you a cashiers ck. if that's ok. Thanks again, Dean
Yes your 6 cylinder Z bar should work just fine along with your original upper 61 long push rod from the clutch pedal.
The difference as compared to what will work(I think) is to use a lower threaded rod and and clutch fork that fits this lower threaded rod with a swivel and pin to connect to a clutch fork that accepts the threaded rod. I have these parts to sell.
I will post my pictures "on my cars" of the lower rod/swivel & clutch fork/pin I am suggesting (for all your clutch adjustment) and to fit all your original 61 clutch pedals, Z bar, and upper rod..

just let me know Paul the parts you will ship to me and the price....i believe the clutch fork you have in mind for me, you said would work with my scattershield. Sounds like you have everything i need. Thanks
Paul, do do you still have a extra vent elbow (63-65 corvette) that goes in the back of the intake.....the one i found is now "lost" so i need another, thanks again.
Paul, if you read this i would like to visit by phone if possible. my email is dcozy@cox.net if you could provide me w/number. Thanks, Dean
ok guys, dumb question time...anyone running eddy heads and do you know if any of the exh. manifold bolts go into the water jackets? I thought i scribed all the holes but i have a water leak on the rear passenger side and did not goop any of the bolts...all help appreciated, thanks!
Yes they do
last minute problem in prepping my bubble top for Bowling green...new engine with one post solenoid on starter...had 2 before w/ one green wire and one purple wire. I was told to use the purple wire. Car will not start in the ignition switch "start" position till i let it spring back to the on position, then it starts???? Then i was told to put the green wire on the solenoid post with the purple wire...it starts, but as soon as you release the ignition sw. back to the on position the engine dies....help please, Thanks
