Amazes me you were able to get the car together in time to compete, that's one impressive effort. Congrats!  Can't wait to see a full power pass.

I've had some coolant seepage from my Pond block with Fel-pro 1040 gaskets, and even a slight oil seepage from one gasket.  Looks like sometime this winter I'll try one more time to stop my leaks.  I was planning on trying the copper-coat treatment as well.   ???

Thanks for the replies.  I certainly don't have lots of HP by modern standards, but trying to decide between street and Pro gears for my next gear set.  It's for my 68 F100 that comes in just under 4000 lbs. with me in it, 5 speed manual, big slicks, and I'm trying to get it hooked up or close to hooked up.  My 482 is supposed to be in the neighborhood of 650 HP, but I think I may be a little shy of that, so far only mid 12's at 114 mph, should go mid 11's if I could get some decent 60 foot times.  So far I haven't tried any high rpm launches, waiting till I have a slipper type clutch and my new lower gears before I try that.  Only sees limited street use and normally no long drives, haven't been over 30 miles at one time in who knows when.  I've had street gears recommended, and also pro gears; looks like I'm stuck in the middle and that either choice is somewhat of a compromise.

Question for Jay and other "Drag Week" type car owners.  Jay I know you're so busy trying to get the car ready for drag week that you may not be able to respond to this any time soon (I don't know how you can do half of what is in your schedule); but was curious if you chose to use Pro/Drag rear diff. gears on your Galaxie and Shelby clone?  And what about the Mach 1? I know quite a few of the Drag Week heavy hitters are having good luck keeping the Pro gears in good condition for thousands of miles of street use.
