Started Putting My Car Back Together

[MysteryMachine]

I finially started putting my car back together tonight. I'm so happy that I finially got the stuff I need to get it running again its only been down for like a year. I had a goal of lifters and push rods in tonight but only got around to cleaning up the gasket surfaces on my heads and getting my lifters in. I would have gotten it all done but the guy where I'm keeping it doesn't want me working past 9. So now the new goal for tomorrow is push rods in and rockers set, lower intake on, and maybe valve covers. I highly plan to have it running this weekend I promised my car tonight it would be so I gotta stick to it lol

I'll keep ya'll posted

Why did you take it apart in the first place? What happened?

i took it apart cause there was a knock that turned into a slight hammer I think it was the lifters going bad cause I found a few that were shot fingers crossed thats what the problem was would not be happy to get it all back together and still have it

by any chance....did you order any new performance parts??? bc a year to save could get you some good stuff. IMO, its a waste to just put your car back together stock after those long, sweaty, painful work nights. but if money doesnt allow, then STBY

I got a TrickFlow Street Heat intake i'm gonna run that with the stock tb till i can get some money together and get a 70 mm TB and MAF

UPDATE: got pushrods in and rockers set started putting lower on and busted a bolt had to rip it off and nobody sells the damn bolts so i have to wait till monday and see if the Ford dealer has them I hope they have um in stock and has the other part i ordered at the begining of the week so the hopes of having it run this weekend are shot so maybe this week sometime
