408 Build Thread

BrianT said

I'm having Kris at Continental Converters build me a custom converter. I've already been in touch with them, but they are out of the particular core that they need to build me one. I've got a Parts Wanted thread started and think that I have a lead on one.

Here is an on-line article that Hot Rod did on Continental. It's pretty interesting.

That's a great little article Brian--I knew many places used cores to make custom stalls, but not the details or the original source. Almost makes me think of the thousands of custom apps one could potentially fill from a typical junk yard. The one back in Abilene (FM 600 Wrecking) used to have probably a couple thousand different junked cars from little imports to diesel HD trucks...with probably several hundred of the midsize V6 powered family grocery getters of all makes they mention.
