Super Six!

[RustyRatRod]

I acquired a low mileage (under 80K) 1979 Super Six with the 904 transmission. Pretty dang complete. RARE complete kickdown linkage too. I ain't real sure what to do with it yet, but I'll figure somethin out. lol And no this ain't a stealthy for sale thread cause it AIN'T for sale. LOL

There's one in every crowd. Rusty, take the compressor mounts off and duplicate them. Those would sell.

Lock this down if you want to, Mike. I got no hard feelins. I did NOT post this to try to sell anything. I was just kinda excited to have found one this complete in this good a shape and thought I'd share it.

Well, it IS a cast crank engine, but I think it'd hold up fine.

 

[Owen 340+6]

Would fit nicely right where that AC compressor is

All good as long as the rest of the crew doesn't post offers.

Congrats on the super find! Like all these old car parts, it is all getting harder find.
Yea the super 6 kick down etc. is unique I understand.

One thing I always liked when I used the super six was the Carter BBD, way good setup IMHO.

how the hell is that trans so clean? my trans wasn't that clean after i rebuilt it even.... had they switched to hydraulic lifters by 79 or was that 82-83ish?

It's a fresh rebuild. See the new tail shaft gasket stickin out?

I take a razor and cut that gasket once it's together... just seems odd hanging out

Kinda. I looked at it as proof. LOL

Hydraulic Lifters too? They run real good

No and I sure am glad. It's a 79, so still solid.

 

[340sFastback]

Sanden compressor already on there very nice! And your down south too so AC sure would be nice down there.

 

[Mike69cuda]

Pretty cool. I added a knee knocker AC to my slanty back in the day.

I might be interested in coming over and measuring them if these aren't available new.

Well come on. I already told you the last time you came over I have a set that you're welcomed to.

Looks like a clean, complete engine. The transmission looks extra clean, maybe rebuilt?? It just seems like yesterday that whenever I wanted a "super six" package, I'd just hit the local yards. Get the intake, kickdown, etc for next to nothing. Time changes everything!

Just curious, what's not to like about the hydraulic lifter slants ??
