Finch Performance Parts

[Finch]

Mods, please move this as needed

As some of you may know I have started to develop a line of parts that will be branded under my new company Finch Performance. There are several parts in the works as I write this, but I wanted to post up a few that are available now. All of these parts have been developed from a need that I found while working on my own car or customer cars. This is not something I am doing to try and retire on, so will not be giving up the day job anytime soon. These are just great parts that fill a niche with the goal being to continue to build the Finch brand beyond the TV personality and racing stuff.

The newest part is a Billet Shifter Ring and Boot assembly. These are machined from billet aluminum and come with a laser cut weld in mounting ring to trim out your transmission tunnel, a custom sewn boot, and stainless button head screws. These are available in 3 finish options. Kits are oversized to fix the common issue of a mutilated shifter opening caused by 30 plus years of sheet metal screws and are large enough to allow the removal of most 4,5,& 6 speed shifter assemblies, including the extra large T56 Magnum, from inside the vehicle to aid in transmission removal.

Introductory price on these is $195 for the Kit plus shipping.



The Finch Billet dual chambered vent canister has been out for a while now and several of you on here have purchased them. These are cut from solid billet and allow the venting of both your rear axle and your fuel tank in the same unit. The chambers are sealed from each other to prevent cross contamination and come with a laser cut drill template to aid in installation. These are designed to mount on your trunk floor and they vent under the vehicle so no worries on fuel smells inside the vehicle.

These sell for $219 each plus shipping



Next up are Toe Plates to make checking and setting your toe at the track or your garage easy and a one man job. These are designed so that they will set against the wheel on their own and have a cutout at the bottom to accommodate the bulge from where the tire makes contact on the surface. This slight bulge can cause inaccurate measurements when using the common flat toe plate.

These sell for $95 a pair plus shipping



Coming soon are Finch rear spoilers for 63 to 67 Novas and 70 to 73 Camaros as well as lower quarter panel diffusers for a complete rear aero package, a complete lower dash cap assembly for 2nd gen Camaros that will let you run billet vent registers and the billet a/c control knobs and billet aluminum washers that range from a 10/32 machine screw to 3/8 oversized washers to be used where the fenders mount on the firewall and cowl.

My new website is www.finchperformance.com and you can order these parts on the website if you have a PayPal account. If you want to use a CC shoot me a PM or email me at [email protected]

Happy to hear you like the part and thanks again for your purchase. Also thanks for taking the time to post up positive feedback, that goes much further than any claims or posts I can make.

[Che70velle]

I have been waiting for this boot assembly. Will be ordering one in the next week or so!

[MoparCar]

Very nice! Love the shifter boot.

[GregWeld]

I'll trade you a Mercedes S63 for all of it Brian... LOL



Superb stuff buddy!

[rchandler]

I also bought a recovery tank at the RTTC, vary nice piece, keeps every thing nice and dry.:thumbsup:

[no go nova]

[Bowtieracing]

Allways nice see new parts coming. I really like the shifter trim ring.

[Finch]

As requested here are some pics of the spoiler on a 67 Nova we just finished.

More parts coming soon

[6D9 Matt]

Looking good Brian!

[Tom.A]

I like that wing. Now get busy on one for a Chevelle

[no go nova]

Now That Spoiler is nice is there a plan for bumpers? That rear bumper with the reverse lights looks good.

[no go nova]

Is there a build thread on this Chevy II?

[89 RS]

Cool parts Brian, congrats on your business growing.

[Finch]

Just wanted to throw out there that we can also do custom orders on the shift boots if you have a particular color or tye of material. Here is one we just did for a Lat-G member wanting to show off more of his billet shifter. We took 2 inches out the the boot to allow more of the arm to show.

[Finch]

We now have 2 versions of the Chevy II rear spoiler to offer. This second option has a 1.5 inch shorter blade to give a more sleek look. These will come with all the mounting hardware and strut assemblies to complete the installation. Drilling of the decklid is required.

I will post up some installed pic's soon.

This one is powdercoated in a hotrod black crinkle finish.

Does it come with a lower rubber boot as well to actually seal the tunnel hole?

[Bad94]

Are you looking at doing a rear spoiler for the 68-72 Nova? If so im interested.

[Finch]

No rubber boot just yet. I just use a piece of Dynamat to seal the tunnel to the shifter base.

2nd gen Nova is up right after the 64 - 66 Mustang Fastback that I am working on now.

If you have a Tig we can sell the components and you can make these fit most applications.

[Che70velle]

Brian, I received my boot kit today, and it is even nicer in person than the pics.

Guys, I was ordering this from Brian, and simply asked him if he could modify a boot for me, cut a little lower to allow more of my billet shifter to show. He tells me that he can custom make me a boot to my liking, anyway I want it. Instead of just selling me an off the shelf product, he custom made one for me, at no extra charge. Great product, great pricing, and killer service...:flag2:

[ma73z]

Thought I'd wake this one up. Any pics of the 2nd gen camaro spoiler and possibility of making a front to match?

Randy Johnson makes a nice front spoiler that would look good with the Finch rear spoiler. Just a suggestion.

I'm thinking the same thing. been waiting for pics for a while.

[Finch]

You all may have noticed that our billet shifter boot assemblies are in the current edition of Super Chevy and Chevy High Performance. Sales are going well with those so I thought I would give a sneak peak of the next part we have made. These will also be in the hot parts section in the future.

For most people doing LS swaps the issue of tying the steam port back in poses a challenge. These new Finch adapters will take the guess work out it and provide for a nice secure seal as well. They will come in raw aluminum or black anodized and come in 1 1/4, 1 1/2, and the popular transition adapter from 1 1/4 to 1 1/2. The port is 1/8 NPT and is pre-tapped and ready for the fitting.

These will retail in the $45 range and should be ready to ship in the next 2 weeks.

[camcojb]

That's a great idea Brian. :thumbsup:

[Rick D]

Nice looking part and will help with the installs for sure!

[Tony V]

you got picture of these installed?

[waynieZ]

nice looking part.

[Finch]

Here is a picture of the Steam Port unit installed using heat shrink clamps.

[tubbed69]

thats a great idea Brian,very nice product:thumbsup:

[Finch]

We finally have our matching shifter handles for the shifter boot and ring assemblies. These come in 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 inch lengths in the angled version and will have a few of the above sizes in a straight configuration. they will be offered in clear and black anodized and come with a centering and offset laser cut slug to allow for fine tuning of the shifter angle.

Pricing will be in the $115 - $120 range and custom shifter knobs to round out the kit will be coming soon

[GregWeld]

Brian -- I just sent your website link to Roy Brizio.... Just FYI.


XOXO

[LS3 HQ]

Are these for the T56? Can they be flipped to use forward facing or back facing? Interested in one for a RHD car.

Cheers

[califconstruct]

Oh,, those are nice.. me likey!

We'll be mocking up the tranny hopefully in a week or so.. and should figure out a length to order then.

[okyankee]

66-67 nova spoilers available? I don't see them on the site but wanted to show my friend because he is building one right now.

These will mount on any Tremec shifter and can be mounted to the right or left side and even flipped around if desired.

Just the link to Finch Performance. They do some LS motors - and thought after seeing the way they ran my steam vent (into the water pump) that maybe they should be using your new hose system. As well as your vents.

They come with both offset and zero locating slugs for final angle adjustments.

[Che70velle]

Looks awesome buddy,, guess I'll be doing some updating in the near future....

[chichirone]

Very nice Brian. Pretty good pricing as well. Need one of these for the next project.

[GrabberGT]

Just so I dont have to spend valuable time researching it... what shifter know would look best on this? Ideas? Perhaps you had one in mind when designing it.

[Finch]

We now have 2 versions of the Chevy II rear spoiler to offer. This second option has a 1.5 inch shorter blade to give a more sleek look. These will come with all the mounting hardware and strut assemblies to complete the installation. Drilling of the decklid is required.

I will post up some installed pic's soon.

This one is powdercoated in a hotrod black crinkle finish.


I finally have pricing on the Nova Spoiler with all the hardware. It is $450 plus shipping so let me know if you are interested in one of these nice pieces.

Working on a Finch shifter knob to compete the package.

[camcojb]

Nice work Brian. :thumbsup:

[qnitro]

Great looking stuff! This just makes decisions even harder! LOL keep up the great work!

[Try2paz]

Nice looking set of parts!

[1nice67chevy]

Would you be making any spoilers for the 67 -72 C10 s also some door handles?

It looks like the spoiler is a fixed angle (welded), why not just weld braces from the spoiler to the part mounted on the car instead of the work/cost of mounting the turnbuckles & spherical joints? is it for looks?

I have built a C10 version.

As with most vehicles there is small variations and having the turnbuckles allows you to make adjustments to get the blade straight or even put a gradual curve to it along the entire unit.

I am working on some 74 to 81 Camaro units that will be fixed and mount to the deck lid vs. back of the car like the 70 - 73

[Finch]

Here is the latest part from the Finch Performance Parts line. These are machined firewall plates designed to cover up the factory opening, and give your car a custom look at a fraction of the price. No welding Is required as these bolt in place and they come drilled to fit the Vintage Air bulkhead fittings used when installing A/C. Non drilled options are also available and they come in Clear and Black anodized.

[Che70velle]

Brian, are these one size fits all, for GM, meaning are FBody, ABody, etc the same? Very Nice!!!

[Finch]

Brian, are these one size fits all, for GM, meaning are FBody, ABody, etc the same? Very Nice!!!


I know they fit the 2nd gen F body and initial measurements fit the 1st gen F body as well but have not installed one on a first gen yet. If the firewall is flat and these cover up the opening they should be universal.

The plates measure 17 inches wide and 10 inches tall

[XLexusTech]

Brian did you ever do a 5 inch round ? I see it as "comins soon on your site

[no go nova]

Hey Brian when are you gonna make a front spolier to match the rear spolier for the 66-67 NOVAS?

Are you still producing these shifters?



.

[jarhead]

Just now stumbled upon this, Nice Work!

[Finch]

yes, I also have a new shifter knob as well.

[paulk68]

yes, I also have a new shifter knob as well.

wow these look great!!

[qnitro]

Can I get the knob please.. I have your shifter, please send me the quote on the knob and the stud to mount the knob

wow these look great!!

[grif54]

Are you guys still making the shifter bezel? If you are I would like to pick one up. Thanks

I need to figure out which size shifter to go with 6 or 8" I currently have the 10 and its too high

[randy]

Is it normal for some fuel to mist out of a fuel vent? Im running the Finch performance dual vent system that is mounted in my trunk and after going on for some spirited driving and parking the car you can hear and see fuel mist coming out of the vent. Any idea what it could be? 67 camaro ls3, Ricks notched corner tank with new camaro fuel pump.

FYI we have this system on 2 other cars and experiencing the same thing.

Brian I need another shifter boot only. It needs to be low profile as well. The 6x9 version should got nicely in a stock 2nd gen automatic console since I already have the ring. How much for a low profile 6x9 version and if you have to make 1 I'll take it in orange stitching

[jeff71]

Paging..... Mr. Finch paging Mr. Brian Finch...

Please check your DM, PM, email, text, voicemail... wait that was full, your Ring camera j/k, Instagram comments.....etc

I've been trying to get in touch regarding your parts.

The main question is, what is the inside and outside measurements of the 4x6 steel weld/bolt in shifter boot ring?


If anyone knows how much to get in touch with Finch please forward this to him.


Thanks

[130fe]

Have you tried reaching him on Facebook?

[Vegas69]

If you've tried all of those ways, I'd say let it be.

[raustinss]

He might be in the bathroom
