    new :poo: box, may need to hit you guys up for 79-82 info when i fix thIs turd.

    Finally found some cheap 87-89 gt seats. time to clean these up, brace the frames, fluff a new layer of foam over the old and use the acme black leather coupe upholstery set I've had sitting in a box forever. Funny the tweed is in decent shape on these, besides filthy. They should clean up...

    speedmaster new 302 block?

    Different grade iron, harder too. Germany one is way more modern technology casting, they look almost black in color, way less scrap in casting from pours with voids and porosity issues. Side by side those blocks really show how far behind us iron industry is from greed and neglect of the PE...

    Hopefully he cut ya a deal on all 3, Definitely the older Dalton IN cast blocks, but still a deal if no serious out of the ordinary machine work is needed.

    Resolved Smoking Wiring Issue After GT40 Head Swap

    Probably a short to gound with that rats nest someone's been in the harness before, you probably pinch a wire or one of the exposed wires is touching metal some where and grounding. Would definitely trace those red wires, is it a Maf swap pre 89 car or something? If you heard a pop, you let the...

    I for sure thought it would be blems / returns / warranty at that price point but blems don't mean unusable.. I guess he got a killer deal on a buyout.

    speedmaster new 302 block?

    You can get a cheapy bore gauge kit for like $35 on Amazon these days if your worried, Idk if they still honor 2 day deliver though lol.. You grabbing a new or used one? I'd just look for irregularities, porosity etc they all need to go to a machine shop for prep anyway and you still gotta buy...

    speedmaster new 302 block?

    Lol they thought it would be cheap not $100 less then dart, it was also when blocks where a pita to get. This is the dude selling them on the group, I didn't do any due diligence and rarely use FB so don't know him, so you might want to before sending any money, FB is riddled with scammers...

    speedmaster new 302 block?

    Yeah but 7/16" hardware, I'd put on par with an old A4 for strenght but larger bore sizing. for the retail price points from a shop darts better, even the boss in alot of applications. I'm just looking around for cheapy budget :poo: and noticed these new 8.2 China blocks lol. There's a guy...

    https://outlawspeed.com.au/shop/af96-1012 aeroflow has it too, so high chance it will be all over China mart soon. The 4.185 bore specs listed and 208lbs dont make sense for a stock replacement 2 bolt 8.2 block though, so be interesting to see one in real life.

    speedmaster new 302 block?

    Yeah I'm not interested in the 2 bolt main but if there casting an 8.2 in China they probably have a 4 bolt option in the works, Idk why anyone would pay 2k for a two bolt unless its was a repo of a 60's numbers block like the ones being cast in England for a certain race series.. The ford...

    speedmaster new 302 block?

    Anyone know any details on these? China sourced? Why stick with 2 bolt mains, any plans for 4 bolt etc... IDK any thing about them, just noticed it pop up on Google while searching for a block and haven't found any mention of them with a quick search. Fords got the boss standard or bigbore 8.2...

    Any of those metal shrouded without flaps dual fan kits like the mishimoto block more airflow threw the radiator with that dumb design. All it does is reduce surface area, not something you want when cooling. Why ppl still sell them is beyond me, a stock clutch fan is better than those cheap...

    Interior and Upholstery 1993 Instrument Cluster cover

    The plastic cover or the lense? Cover just get a cheap roll of some Matte black automotive wrap. I used some Matte carbon fiber stuff on my 79 dash just to make it look uniform on a budget since it was in such sad shape. Dull enough to not have a glare issue.
