Just a little advice... check your rear axle bearings!
(Preview)
Oops... Rear axle shaft broke clean at the bearing, probably due to the latter failing. By chance, car was slowing down on a small residential street. No damage to the body, but brake shoes and springs, lines, etc. are toast.

4 speed floor hole
(Preview)
There's been discussion on this in the past. When GM put a 4 speed in a car, it looks like the worker on the assembly line cut the hole in the floor with a torch. I took this picture yesterday in a wrecking yard. It's a 64 Grand Prix that is most certainly a factory 4 speed car.

Oil filter removal?
(Preview)
The '61 was not originally equipped with an oil filter. At some point an aftermarket one was fitted. There is seems to debate as if these are useful or not. It is however in the way of brake conversion. I could move it or remove it. The existing lines would not stretch to a new location. They were brittle an...

Motor Mounts

I've got a 1961 Pontiac StratoChief with a 261. Can anybody tell me if the frame side motor mounts are the same on the straight 6 as the V8? I only have pics of the v8 mounts and they look really similar but I can't be sure.
