New Here w/ Kellison FED
« on: February 07, 2013, 04:05:39 PM »
My name is Marc and I'm out of the San Antonio area. I am currently in the middle of a 66 Kellison FED. The car originally ran under the name "SNAFU" with a Ford FE motor. When I got my hands on it, it was setup for a SBC and was still sporting the original 56 Olds diff. Not being able to find parts for the old 10 spline Olds, I am putting 9'' in it and will probably keep the small block set up for now.

I will be seeking some advice on the frame. I do have to address the bottom frame rail on each side.

Here is a pic of the FED (1967)



When I got it


I'm keeping the blower and have a Hilborn 4 hole bugcatcher for it.
