Anyone know where I can get the clips that hold the dash trim on. I bought trim off internet but did not come with the clips.I need to also find the proper location for the holes.

 

Holes are 1/8" For the small piece you need two for the longer piece six. place one @ 3/4 inch in from each end and space the remaining four evenly. I use a chine marker and line the edge of the trim and drill accordingly above it.

The clips are available at NAPA in their doorman hardware bins. They are 1/2" standard wire trim clips.

Print the pic and take it with you if the parts guy looks at you toopidly and asks what transmission...LOL

Garbz

 

you mean these are in the transmission and not the oil pan ???... OMG

 

The bad thing is I would have to tell him 350 turbo !( I might be changing that soon,not sure yet)

 

No reason to unless it is to uprade to a turbo 400 and 555 Rat.....

^ BLASPHEMY!!!

 

What about a 300 inline and 3 speed stick ? Am I going the wrong way.

 

Nope, good choice. the 300 is one of my favorite engines. Last one i ran over 300K

I am a heretic get it right.......LOL.

When building a custom what is not understood about the nomenclature?

NO WAY! Love the 300! build it to have some get up and go, but will always have that LOW end torque!

 

Last one had a .480 lift cam, offenhauser 360 4V intake and holley 390 with EFI cast hedders.....I ran that truck for 309,000.00 Miles before the frame fell apart and i could not find enough real metal left to fix it. A 86 F150XC 4x4 with a T19 and 3.73 gears. Pulled a good 18 to a gallon and only let me down a time or to. Towards the end i would park in my driveway and find it in the morning in the ditch across the street.
