[BradbutlerNC]

Little about myself, my names Brad, im 24, live in NC. Run a pawn shop and do other stuff for a living. Got some land out in the country and i like tearing **** up and fixing it. This is not my first rodeo, just an addition to the list. Im familiar rebuilding v8s, etc, etc. I do just about everything to the old cars in my spare time, here is my list of current cars, most running/driving from oldest to newest.

- 1967 Ford Falcon Sports Coupe (200/C6)
- 1969 Lincoln Continental Coupe (429, C6
- 1970 Olds Cutlass 442 (350r/TH350)
- 1981 Pontiac Catalina (my sleeper, top secret nasty olds v8 build/2004r)
- 1984 Crown Victoria (302/AODe)
- 1984 Olds Cutlass 442 (350r/th400)
- 1987 Chevy Silverado (350sbc/700r4)




-I picked this truck up from the original owners son. Not sure of the mileage but has a late model vortec 350/700r4 swap. For drivetrain mods it has a small cam, double hump heads, 2000 converter, headers, 3" duals, recurved HEI, worked quadrajet, summit race mufflers.

When i got it it had no radiator, shroud, headlights, fan, power steering, or driver side gas tank. Ive since acquired all these things, as well as some more. Currently running a G-body radiator but will replace it eventually as it doesnt fit the shroud right.

My little brother has an 86 K20 as well, his is a bit faster than mine, it has a 350 from a 70 corvette, unsure of specs on it.

Welcome, always nice to see another NC squarebody owner!

I see you have a 66 comet with a 429? Same car as my falcon essentially right? How the hell did you fit a 429 in it?

not the same. 65 and earlier Comets are based on the Falcon. 66-67 Comets are based on the larger Fairlane.
