    And particularly:

..............if it still is standard bore a ball hone may do more harm than good.

    "Ball-Hones" (aka, "dinkleberry-hone"    ) are not an acceptable instrument to be utilized in the block cylinder bores for providing a proper surface acceptable for the rings, this particularly of those of this era.

    Back when engines were slow and the rings were of thick and fat cast iron, well O.K., one could 'say' that the ball-hone tool "worked"; but with today's more sophisticated piston ring engineering there are greater concerns in the requirements for their successful application and with proper cylinder bore surfaces being of greater importance 

    Not to say I haven't and don't still utilize ball-hones, but generally only for instances of where for example the block bores are rusty and scaly, and then only for the purpose of removing the heavy stuff that would otherwise just load-up a proper honing/boring stone; but 'never' as a supposed finished surface ready to be put into service.

6S1207 hammered at $107,500.

That one looks well bought, I'd say.  Not too much info in the registry but the auction site gives considerably more detail.  Someone got a great deal.

Will any of that Information be used to up date the Registry?

1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / Re: Preferred Oil Pan Gasket

Last post by jk66gt350 - September 05, 2024, 08:17:15 AM

Totally agree.  The reason I used the Felpro was I had issues with the cork gasket that was on it.  I am also not planning to have the car judge so functionality was more important than looks to me.

1969-1970 Shelby GT350/500 / Re: Marti difference

Last post by cboss70 - September 05, 2024, 08:16:07 AM

The numbers are consistent for the first big three. What happens then is the transmission is the driving difference and then that defines the different numbers that follow (The number of grabber green with AT's versus STD's). Those reports are also designed to try to get cars to 1 of 1 so they sometimes pick obscure options and do the drill down in funky order to get a car there.  Welcome to the 1 of 1 car club- there's tons of them out there
