Oh yes, I have one (currently underedoing body work).  It survived my son and his friend when drag racing ( wish I knew then what they were doing).  Have access to another 4 speed.  Rear ratio is 3.23   Stanley 300k

  Any general comments on 1964 K 4-speed stick cars? Tranny strong enough?
  Reliable? Parts available? Drivability? Axle ratio same as TorqueFlite
  cars?

  Any engine/cam/ignition/head differences between single 4-bbl K's and ram
  manifold K's? Any way to run on pump gas?

  Shopping and curious. General information welcomed.

  Some of you know my story of having become obsessed with a 1955 C-300 in
  1955. I talked today to the 69 year old son of the man who owned that car.
  As a teen he would sneak the car out and race it at a local dirt track in
  Des Moines. He said his dad had installed "Hollywood" mufflers and as a
  result, began throwing fan belts. Hmmm. I didn't press that point, but has
  anyone experienced tossing belts on a hemi? He said Tim Flock and Carl
  Kiekhaefer had expressed interest in buying the car, but his dad traded it
  in on a '59 New Yorker. The car now sits forlornly in a farmyard in Iowa
  awaiting a rescue and a new engine. It belongs to a club member who has
  been reading too many auction results.

  C-300'ly,
