What Did You Promise;...Your FE This Year ?

[Stangman]

I do have two extra caps one of them I have to drill the hole hopefully I don’t screw it up

The '65 Galaxies 390 will get pulled to fix the rear main seal and leaking dipstick. Might consider a cam/lifter change while it's out also.

The '70 F350, with the 390 that I got off of Blair, will get some carb work, but ultimately will get pulled to put in a 445 stroker that I put together for better pulling power. Then the BP 390 will likely get put in the Galaxie and I'll just shelf the engine that's in it now.

As for the Mustang, it'll get ran through the Reunion, then get pulled so I can do some major changes to the car. The biggest being a hole cut in the hood to clear the carburetors for the replacement engine. Not sure what I'll do with the all iron 427 sideoiler then. Guess I'll have to "find" something to put it in after a refresh and some new bearings.

Doug send it to me, I`ll take care of it! he he he !

I promised a lot.....now im down to a new fueltank

motivation right now

An oil change?   That's about it for the wagon.  The clutch is getting a quick service, might split the transmission and recheck things.  Beyond that, Nadda, nuthin.

We'll see what you say after the Beave.  As for me, my FE plate is full. Engines to build, change, and all around mayhem. I can't have just one, nope. Damn bucket list.

I'm going to make sure the transmission/shifter is in fine working order.  I'm really tired of screwing it up on the first pass!  And the sad fact is, it is totally my stupidity, not the car.

Wastegates. To keep those high boost numbers in check and rods in the block.

Garry, let me think it over for a while...a long while

I'll probably put it on a stand where it can be started occasionaly, and keep it for whenever I want to put it back in. Except for various internal parts, I've had this engine together for the last 20+ years.

Don’t you have a wagon hanging around.

Marc, that was my original intention, to build and race my '58 2dr wagon. I've had to take a reality check though, because it would require MAJOR upgrades and starting from scratch to do it, meaning lots of money. Realistically, it would take me several years to do that, and all my spare change. Sooo, plans changed. I've already thinned out the herd by 3 vehicles, with more to go, and the wagon will get sold.

Doug did you catch the episode on MT TV where Pure Vision did a 57 2dr ranch wagon? The car was awesome...….. Only took 2 yrs, My wife wondered how much it took to do it. I told her 100,000 more or less.

I got to check that wagon out in person at last years roadster show. It’s pretty amazing. Cubic dollars though. I believe the owner is ARPs owner.

For my street Fairlane, replacing the Victor/HP1000 with an EFI Victor and sequential port injection.  A bonus would be new REF headers to match the BP Pro Port exhaust.

The price tag was WELL north of 100k. There was 50k plus in engine and transmission. (Base model Boss 9 429 or 460 are 23k and the wagon didn't have a base model 460 Boss 9 in it).

That is a cool car. Personally I like the Pure Vision guys. First because they actually do some neat Ford stuff and aren't just spitting out another Nova or Chevelle, and secondly I like there subtle build details. The Fairlaine they did a few years ago with the Ed Pink SOHC in it was another freat example I think. It looks like it COULD have been a prototype car back in the day. The wagon build was very much in the same theme. I'm not a fan of making old stuff look new. The reason I like that stuff is exactly BECAUSE it's NOT new.
