This was a really fun day.  Even pulled the oldman out of the shop away from his Bondo for a bit.  I asked him if it sounded like a 406 in 1963, he said Nope.

Just ran across an Edelbrock f427 manifold on the local offer-up.  Are they wall art? Or do they compare to modern Edelbrock intakes. Thanks!

There’s a set of C80E 6090 N heads for sale pretty close to my house.  The seller says they’re absolutely original.  I find that hard to believe. Let’s pretend they’re unaltered from Ford.  I don’t need them for a restoration, but I like old Ford stuff. The fella wants $2,000.  I probably would not pay that.  I don’t like asking this kind of question, but what do you think is fair, assuming they’re as described?

So I found a better bed, built a cart for it to roll around on. I then took it to the old mans house, where it will hang out til I get done of the free time we’re always chasing.  It appears he got impatient.

Ok started a new thread to keep things simple.  Some folks mentioned a Jerico on the street is not for the faint of heart.  Also that they are rude.  So are we talking downshift difficulties? Noise?  How about a road race version, or does that sacrifice strength?  Truthfully my 295/65/15 e.t. Street tires offer a surprising amount of bite. This car is going to be noisy, the floor gets hot in the summer, it has manual steering so I’m not expecting a Cadillac.

Not sure on this one.

I’m on a core buying kick. There seems to be slot of F.E. Engines and Parts on OfferUp locally right now. I would like to have a sonic tester, I can throw in the pickup to bring with me, when someone says they have a good bare block. I really like the Dakota, but I’m not spending $1,600.  I’m very leery of what I’d be getting on Amazon for $88.  Any experience with “Homeowner “ sonic testing would be much appreciated. 

Can anyone confirm this block number?
