New heat extractor bling for my Terminator...

[Uncle Meat]

Yeah yeah... I'm a ricer at heart I know! Saw these over on ModFords and thought they looked great. These are made by FPW (Fore Precision Works). Billetflow makes some too, but they aren't as open as these and have a lot more machining done to them so they cost significantly more. The Billetflow ones are nice too though. These from FPW are $100 cheaper than the BF ones. Since my car never sees rain having these big open vents won't be a problem. I think the black anodized ones will look sharp on my Oxford white snake. What ya think?

I think they are awesome, saw them the other day...

I kinda like the stockers with the Torch Red but I would install those as well, very nice

The BilletFlow ones are nice also.

Yeah, but at $260 for a set the BF ones are a little pricey...

Agree 100% all that BilletFlow stuff seems pretty damn pricey

Some of it is, but it's all quality stuff. Doug at BF makes the best pulleys and idlers for our cars and his fully CNC machined billet throttle bodies are the cats ass! I just wish he would hurry up and start making them again.

Tell me this wouldn't look good on your 10th anniversary...

Yeah the stock TB is all corroded looking I may polish it this week, I am on vacation all week...

I am getting my Fiore firewall adjuster and quad from50Resto in UPS tomorrow... I also ordered the RaggTop kit for cloth.

I also have the Mobil1 ATF for the T-56 fluid change, new fuel filter, and a new set of Motorcraft AGSF-12FM1 plugs.

and a new set of Motorcraft AGSF-12FM1 plugs.

GOOD! Don't let anyone try to talk you into using ANYTHING different UNTIL you decide to pulley your car and even then I'd use these until dyno testing proves different. Those stock Motorcraft plugs are the coldest factory installed to come in the Terminator and they are platinum. I got conned into installing TR-6's in my car and what a mistake that was. Ran like crap and didn't idle smooth at all. After only 5K on them they looked like hammered dog crap when I pulled them. Went back to the AGSF12FM1's and never looked back. Just so you know the AGSF12FM1's are discontinued from what I hear so you may end up having to go one heat range hotter. The AGSF12FM1's are actually a step colder than the TR-6's. The Ford parts department might try to give you a set of AGSF22FM1's as a suitable substitute. I found a listing on the Rock Auto website for AGSF12FM1's for $2.93ea!

Ok, when I said I had the plugs I really meant that I assumed I could get them today at the Ford parts counter

HOWEVER, I called them and they are special order AND are $8.11 EACH

Rock Auto charges $2.93, what a crock the local dealer is a douche...

What do you expect? Evidently the stealerships aren't making enough money with the huge mark ups they're putting on the GT500's so they'll see if they can't squeeze a 300+% profit off a discontinued spark plug.

I just went and ordered a set from Rock Auto even though I don't need any right now. Better stock up Killy!
