Conformatic pistons are just another brand of cast pistons similar to Badger and Silv-O-Lite.

Update, just heard from machine shop, block good and only needs honing.  Heads good, just a valve job with hardened exhaust seats.  Turning crank to 30 30.  Just ordered a cam, lifters and the new intake from Mr. Mummert.  Probably will order a set of headers from Reds unless some one advises otherwise.  Hopefully I will be annoying my neighbors soon!!

Gents,

I've got a couple of questions some of you may can answer.  I was able to latch onto a Lincoln Versailles parts car.  Got the rear end out and it looks like the spring perches are 1" wider than my 56.  Is there a problem in grinding them off and rewelding without removing the axles?  Also got the C-4 out of the lincoln, is the conversion using Mr. Mummerts bell housing pretty straight forward or will I have problems with stuff like shift linkage, speed-0-cable, cross member etc.  And lastly, the Versailles rear end has a 247 gear.  Should I go ahead and swap out to a lower gear before I install?

What are you doing for front brakes?

You asked about welding on rear end with axles in it. Then mentioned the axle ratio. It will have to be changed or the only thing you will ever pass is the filling station. The axles have to come out so just go ahead and get it over with. It will make unit easier to move around. Make sure you get your spring mounts welded on so you have correct angle on input shaft.
