Default bill thomas engine swap hardware


Looking at the difficulties of putting a 427 in a solid axle vette.
Bill Thomas did it.

Does anyone have any direction on how to run some of this stuff down in this article? Would any of this still be out there?
alternatives?

You might want to post this in the "parts wanted" section

This won't help much but it reminds me of the first big block I bought in '69. It was advertised in Pa. as a hi-perf 427 and I bought it over the phone. I was in FL at college so my Dad went to pick it up for me. The seller had it in an early Vette and sent along all the conversion stuff with it, including a set of headers. He specifically told my Dad it was a Bill Thomas kit. I had no use for it so I advertised it locally and got one call from a person who only wanted the headers. I think I threw the rest of the stuff away [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]
