    Hi guys, I've been searching for a lower radiator hose for my setup and looked at Gates 20609, 20697, goodyear 61301 and similar. Can anyone confirm if the 20609 is my best choice here? I'm located in Sweden and just looking at pictures doesn't convince me... :-) I've got an aftermarket...

    Hello I am going to drop a well built 351c / TCI street fighter C6 into my 67. Does anyone else have this setup? My concern is clearance using that transmission. I was running the 351c with a 4 speed prior to this setup.
