Back in the day I was doing burnouts alot in my xc van with mild 351 and a single rail. I did break one gearbox after I broke at least 2 Borg warner diffs with it. In the end I ran the single rail with a 9 inch and never broke it again. The plastic nut used to let go and the lever would come off in your hand, once you sort that its all good.
@@jason35177 I remember now I broke the gearbox in first gear out the front of the workshop I worked at. I tried to break traction in first, low speed, no clutch but the engine was a bit cold and hesitated then I hit it again and there was a severe driveline backlash which broke one end of the lay shaft. I repaired the box, probebly using parts of another used one to repair it. I did get a toploader and gathered all the needed parts but the single rail didn't fail again. I was running 3.25 gears and usually second hand 195 to 225 /14 tyres though. Cheers.
Ive had an XC 351 with a factory single rail 4 speed and it was fine. You do know that the gear ratios in 351's were different to the 302 and the 6 cylinders at least in the XC
Hi Jas,, DOOR GLASS Its toughfened so the scratches cannot be polished or buffed out. The scrathes come about due to 50 years of dust getting on the outter door wether strip the old hard one you removed keep those clean and your new glass will be fine, The door handles re after market are all the same crap fitting and that outter weather seal is pathetic I'm surprised you did t get new door latches to go with the handles etc Oh and new door locks yes more cost but looks better ,
Did you buy the single rail from Sale. I got the shift kit from him for my single rail behind my 351. I've had the box in it since 1988... It won't break unless you try to break it. Do you have an email address so I can send you a video of my shift kit.

Hi mate, I enjoy your videos, I have a new gearshift rod for your single rail as yours looks pretty rusted if interested.
Sounds great! The fella who sold me this single rail is looking through his shed for a spare. If he cant find one ill contact you 😎
@@jason35177 No worries Jason , can send you photo if the other guy has no luck.
Keep the vids coming there great 👍
Thanks 👍
Go the manual! Yes!
Wise choice IMO. 351 with manual transmissions sound gteat ay

The fella who sold me the gearbox also supplies upgraded shifters. Thats good news then, 351 will give and gearbox a hard time 😎

Add a central locking kit, solve your lock issues.
Its on the cards. I like the old school alarms that chirp 😎

I was told the V8 ratio's were the same, mmm. Mines out of a xc v8
I used the universal door belts from glass for classis.
You didn't have to remove the extension housing you can just unbolt the gear shift housing cheers

I remember seeing something on fb where someone was polishing their windows. Not sure of the outcome. Doors seem to close ok now.
i put a T5 B.W BEHIND 350 chevy 1967 c 10 pickup no worries
