Second time around

[wbsims]

I am getting my 1963 unibody going again after a 6 year sabbath. It had it rebuilt back in the 96 for my son. He drove it for a few years and it dropped a couple of push rods and he parked it. It has been in my shed untouched until a few weeks ago. We fixed the push rod issue, drained the gas tank, refilled tank, replaced the points and she fired right up. I will post updates on our progress. Pics are in the gallery.

nothing like a Y =)

i say time to get rid of the cross over pipe there....

[wbsims]

Would love to, what is the best way? Where can I get headers or manifolds that will clear my stearing box?

[fabmandelux]

We used Reds Headers for my son's 61 uni. Very well made, and have never leaked. You can find them here: 1954-64 Y-Block Ford headers for passenger car, pickup, and early T-Bird.

Oh come on, that's a great place for a firey hot pipe

Thanks Fabman, I can definitely see a set of those in the future. I plan on upgrading the brake system next.
EricJ - Yeah, helps keep the fuel lines warm, gets real interesting when it springs a leak.

Chaser, my sister lived in Columbus for about 16 years just off Macon Road. Temple is 11 miles north of Carrollton.
