time to start the winter mods

[need4spd90]

ha , i know, it took me longer to clean up my garage then it did to disassemble the car for engine/trans removal..seriously
all i have left is to pop the trans cross member off then yank the engine/trans

 

[srtthis]

im going to pull my trans out first. not sure if i can get it up high enough in my garage to do them together

 

[need4spd90]

i just had my trans out 6 months ago..coming out again now lol

 

[srtthis]

ordered up the oil pump and new oil pump shaft this morning from CJ pony parts.

went with the ford racing pump and shaft combo

picking up the P heads next week

 

[srtthis]

ever notice this? does ARP make the FRPP shaft?

 

[Rick 91GT]

I have used HUNDREDS of those and they never come like that....I wonder if it was swapped out

 

[srtthis]

not sure... box didnt seem to ever be opened.

 

[Rick 91GT]

I know the FMS shafts had a longer relief once reason I liked them over the ARP, can you measure the reliefs for me. I measure the one I have on the shelf...

 

[srtthis]

will do when i get home...

 

[srtthis]

also im open to suggestions to paint the block... red? ford blue? black?

I like silver/aluminum. My 302 is black and it shows tons of dust and dirt, impossible to keep clean. Red always makes me think something other than a Ford color...

 

[srtthis]

yea but the car is red... and im pretty sure its not a ford red

the car

best picture that shows the color

 

[hoopty5.0]

Ahh, yes. Red would be fine then.

I installed a FRPP oil pump shaft summer 2010 and it did say ARP on it. Very light laser etching.

 

[srtthis]

Rick snap ring side is 1.25 other end .875

 

[srtthis]

motors out...

for rick... suggestions?

and my new work bench so i actually have a place to work now

 

[Rick 91GT]

Nothing a little glassbead wont take care of, Ill have to measure those holes.... they say GT on them in the corner right?

Personally, BLACK on the block and heads...Ford Blue just look out of place especially in a red car IMO

 

[srtthis]

I was referring to the broke off plug

 

[Rick 91GT]

No problem

 

[srtthis]

i left my calipers at work the other day but i'll get the bolt hole measurement for you. if they are a bit loose i can have bushings made to tighten up the hole
