And his Dentside hop up...

He should have at least tried on of the popular Truck cams that are known to work...

547/588...

 

So was it a Comp?

The projected price is $750 a set and he is shooting for May 1st to be available. Not bad for a new castings. They do not have the choke boss so the pickup guys won't have to shave the driver side choke boss to clear power steering gear. We'll still need to curl or notch the passesnger side frame.

I’m sure it has been covered, but how much curling or notching? Anyone have a picture?

Yep like I said at least some CS have the front sway bar, at least where bumpsides go there seems to be controversy as to whether all of them had it or not.

My truck isn’t a Camper Special, I’m just wondering if one or the other exits higher (or lower) which might help or change the exhaust routing.

I can speak to 1 and somewhat lesser to 2.

1) Unless your heads are pretty nice already you're gonna have close to E-Head money in them, particularly if increasing valve size. I would not do it again. Granted, you're going to want to check the E-Heads over, but still...
,
2) Likewise it depends on what it needs, pistons, rings, bearings, arp bolts, re-size rods, grind crank, balance... bet you are at least halfway to a stroker kit if not three quarters... My situation was a little different as I started with a 360, but I've always said if I had it to do over I'd build at least a 410... with the current state of strokers, if you're gonna build a 410, you might as well build a 445...

3) You didn’t ask, but a two owner, one family Fairlane GT sounds like a car I would probably not make any irrevocable changes to...

You’ll probably get a lot more opinions and more expert too...

I guess I’m kinda surprised anyone still prints actual magazines... I was a Car Craft kinda guy (or Legendary Ford, or Mustangs and Fords)

I suppose as circulation goes down, cost go up. I might actually subscribe to one if they would give me an iPad copy too (a usable one, that reads like an actual magazine, not some flash/graphics riddled atrocity like some)

Anyway, it is a great pic of Jays car!!! go drop 8 bucks on a copy if you don’t subscribe and get a bonus engine masters article... 

Hmm I do have some in my stash, unfortunately they are messed up from being in the stash ☹️.

Moving to plan b again ... which is blocking the passage wit blue gaskets...
