I found my CJ vacuume pcv cross over tube and all but the power brake fitting but I should have it here some where. The carburator is a rebuilt 600 ,way to small ,I have a newer 750 holly duel feed vacuumed secondary but I am sure it will need accelerator pumps .

Haven't had a chance to work on it but I did order the stainless headers ,black cobra valve covers and a molly distributor drive key . I have to wait for the drive key to install the oil pump.

It was the front 6 holes ,some sideways but all front to back . I used a rat tail file so I wouldn't go to far . A couple still a bit tight but the SOB bolted down!

I bolted on the valve covers even though they will come back off so I can see if they are oiling ,just need some oil and a oil gauge and I can prime it!

This was a new 750 Holley vacuum secondary duel feed , manual choke ,it was on my brothers 73 f100 with a 351CJ . Probably only had 100 miles on it before he parked it . Still looks pretty good but will clean up nice .
I am going to tear it down and trick kit it because I am sure it has dried out . Should run this thing nicely !

A little peak in the motor side of my old Coors roll up door trailer . Lots of motors to build ,we have a few 4 bolt main 351 clevelands ,a coupe of 302 s ,a few 390 GTs . Buckets of rods ,motor mounts ,bell housings and piles of stainless trim . I need to go through it some day to see what's burried in there . That's only one side ,the other side is packed full of interior and a lot of exterior mustang parts !

My fan and coil came in today .
I ordered a cobra oval bottom ,air filter and mounting kit today ,I have an original top off a 67 shelby . The new bottom is for a single 4v although my original top is duel 4 v. The mounting kit allows the two 4 top to attach to the single 4 bottom .
