lol I wish I had a lawn mowing job at my plant. Ive got about 45 more years of seniority to go before I get something that good.
Anyone go to the all Ford car show at the barn today? There was about 500 cars there and I won first place in the 79-present modified Mustang class! Got a sweet trophy too!

Me and GT Jay are both signed up for mustang alley so Ill be there. You can probably still register for it if you can find the string on here with the email address. Jay might still have it someplace too.

Its on the road but the valvetrain is making tons of noise. I think the rocker arms have met there end. Seems like its running ok, but the carb is all out of whack. Thing seems super slow even tho its not really broken in.

Getting my tri-ax in the next day or two along with these new gaskets this guy makes which alot of guys have tried and give thumbs up to

Sorry to hear that man, I'll keep a look out...
rpayne... looks like a good start, be sure to stick around.
Well, after the weeks of work on the stang... the engine is back in with all new gaskets, a new oil pump, E-cam and a new Spec Stage 1 cam.
Sounds great and pulls hard except for one thing... the slight ticking I originally heard which made me do all of this work is back!! WTF!!
I'm gonna try to retighten the rockers and hope it fixes the problem.
Hope its not a plugged oil galley...
Also, hope the rain stops so I can enjoy the Dream Cruise...

I was in Mustang Alley all day today and went to the Ford events on Maple and Woodward. The rain pissed me off but I still had fun. The parade could have been better for the wait we had. Tommorrow should be a better day for sure. I am going to wake my ass up and wash the car tommorrow and see if I can get a decent spot on Mustang Alley.
