    Headers showed up today! Used intake came last week. The FB group 9.5 parts is paying off! Still need main studs and oil pan. Going carb, but might have future plans for EFI.

    Good to hear that guy's Maybe I was confused with my old trans the 3550? My Transmission was built by Liberty when it was brand new, face plated 2-4 and cro-treated.

    Well...I went 351. Sold or selling all the 302 stuff, block, oil pan, intakes as I have 2, cam last fall. I went round and round with the machine shop, wanted to build a 358 then looked at 383. Finally landed on a 408. Really wanted to stay shorter stroke so I dont kill the TKO600, i believe...

    Bassani headers between 302 and 351

    Shoot! Yeah it was tight between the strut towers but the closes interference was at the frame rail itself. I was hoping with the engine being taller it would be further away since it would be in the tapered area. Thanks for the replys! Scott

    Bassani headers between 302 and 351

    Looking to confirm compatibility. These were on my 302 they are 1-3/4 to 1-7/8. Will these fit my 351 that I am building now? I am using the same heads, AFR's. As you can see they hang low hence the added skid plates. Would really like to use these on my 351 build.

    Tri bar, IMO appropriate for a Aero car. The carbon background so subtle it brings a modern touch to a classic symbol.

    Fox Clutch preload?

    I agree with Noobz, with a diagram clutch I found with mine that there needs to be the slightest amout of free load on it. This was a centerforce dual friction. If I back off the to the point of no contact with the fingers to the throw out bearing there was to much free play. Now on my...

    Hmmm as you are probably aware Ford is notorious for slight changes in PN with the same looking physical parts. Was the 7.3 R&P steering? I forget on my dad's 99 F250.

    If you check out my build thread. When we re hung new mufflers adding the tails we duplicated what was previously done and welded the hanger off the back of the muffler can. Might be a option to consider too. If I were you once clocked I would weld your tails to the muffler, find someone that...

    Well I have 2 blocks unless dad sells the 351 on me... I picked up a 1978 302 std bore. Sending it to the machine shop to be burned, shot peened and magnefluxed. The alternative is to build the 351 to about 370-380cid, I don't have to convert to one piece rear main. I will have to buy another...

    Progress Thread Hoopty v2.0 - It All Snowballed

    Yeah I did the notching and swapping and never installed those "bandaid" anti piss and moan brackets. Never noticed a noise during braking although my car is far from quiet... especially since it has team Z upper and lowers there is no ISO bushings.

    Looks good! Maybe it's me or I would have to be there in person but it looks like the rear needs to be lowered just a tad, like 1/2-3/4"?

    No doubt the turbo stuff is fun and FAST too! I grew up with the NA stuff so there is a soft spot for that. I have 2 68's and that 71 I am watching on market place. I have exhausted all my machine shop sources and have word of mouth to a few other sources. I will take my time as I am not in...
