Not yet. I figured I dropped a valve, but turned out it was a hydrolocked cylender. The starter died then too. This engines hurt, but still kicking for the moment.Originally posted by Sleeper View Post
I got the replacement thus week, and a new fuel tank, and balancer. Trying to save money up for the parts to put the other motor together and in."If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry FordComment

Getting my explorer motor ready for a b cam and 1.72's.
Got the valve spring my from alex's parts, I'm impressed with the packaging and quality, especially since it was the cheapest around.

Major stuff going on. A simple "hey, a gt40 headed roller 302 with a nice cam would be great" has turned into a 351w, 4r70w, procharger, and all new suspension and steering. After building the 302, and then finding the lightning 351w for a song, It's taken a while to get my funds built back up.
The suspension I decided on will be delivered friday, and I'll be making plasma love friday night. The kit I bought is an AJE "colt 65" that converts the car to a k-member style with fox-like tubular k member, arms, and coil overs. It requires me to buy a 351 swap pan (I JUST bought a new front sump 351 pan, painted it and put it on the motor!) and allows me to use fox swap longtubes, and sn95 spindles, brakes, and rack & pinion from a fox. It also allows me to cut down the strut tower for more room around the header area.
Here's a couple picts I found on a build thread ill be using as a guide.

I thought you were contemplating selling this thing. Maybe I am thinking of someone else.Comment

That's awesome.
Oh BTW, it appears some vandals snuck into your shop and tipped your car over on its side. I hope your sheet metal is OK.

Ive contemplated a couple times. Last summer, I was thinking about getting something more family friendly, and my daughter saw it and fell in love with it, so I decided to go all out for a while and get it as done as I can so we can all go cruise. I'm planning to have it running in a couple weeks, and drive it to the roundup in austin for a shakedown cruise. I dont want to have issues on the power tour.Originally posted by mstng86 View Post"If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry FordComment
