Ahhh there is a way even for me to
play the piano

Through the years i had some Mustangs and Fairlanes.
And I remember that there was some special procedure
with the upper baljoint. But 20 years since i worked on one
If and a big if i remember right with the wheel lifted and
blocked to rideheight you have a bit of travel in the
upper baljoint upp and down and thats ok. (they have that new)
But no travel in and out
I have a Mustang/Fairlane shopmanual but cant find it

I dont find my Fairlane shopmanual now
But if my memory dont play tricks with me
you have to place blocks between the
upper control arm and the frame when
checking for play in the upper baljoint
with the wheel unloaded
I dont know if you are avare of that
just mention it

They have promised us 8-12 inch snow this weekend
so stop whining

I got a couple ww2 Ford universal carriers with flatheads
maby i start offering that service  and instal FEs for
realy thick walls

Thanks for the answer Jay
2I gues in a perfekt world i had to spend nothing :)but.....
I dont mind spending on things that give result. say on a
engine like the prison break 390 in Car craft how much
will i be down in power with cj valved and cleaned C1AE
heads compared to Edelbrock.I gues after i buy valves,
springs,guides and so on and my time for machining
them the price is not much cheaper
I prefer the factory look with stock Ford parts
but i dont give away say 50 60 horses just for the look

And anotherquestion the shorty cast headers C1 something
how god are those.Ilike them leakfree and quieter but
again are they a bottleneck on such an engine

I also got a streetmaster intake on the shelf since the 80s
that i understand is a god intake compared to other
"modern"intakes..thought that was outdated stuf
till i started reading about resent FE builds and
almost started milling it down to make a efi intake
Now i wait for your intake bottoms to be ready
