I don't know what difference (in height) AFR heads and an Explorer intake (is that what you got on Sherrie?) makes on a 8.2 deck? The top of the lopo intake on my CV was below the master cylinder...
Is there any way to extract one of these and glue it to a radiator core cover? Mine got buried in the garage, but if it's in good shape, I might attempt to do this. Just curious
Not much going on here. Over the weekend, whilst clearing out the basement, I found the heat shield I got from the junkyard some years back. Cleaned and painted it. I think when an engine isn't...
I didn't have an Explorer intake; but I know when I got Ford Racing EFI valve covers (circa 2009), the lopo intake wouldn't clear the oil-fill tube. I know they make 3/8", 1/2", and 1" spacers in...
I went out briefly today to lay out and measure the electric fan I plan to install for this car. Long story short, I got this dual 13.5" fan for this project, but was dismayed to see that it didn't...
I like what you did with the 2010 CV; those Mustang wheels look at home there. And your '88 CV looks like it's in good condition to start a project with.
Nice! I see you have some open slots; do you want my copy of "Suzy Bogguss greatest hits"? Fell out from behind the glove compartment of my '91 Ranger when I did the heater core. I don't have a...
I ended up doing no. 2 (from above post). I tried cutting the 1st supply line down; but it got to the point where the hose sleeves were touching; and it was still 1/16" too long with absolutely no...
I installed my return line between meetings. I tried to install the supply line, but it's 3/4" too long; and too short and inflexible to bend it towards the steering box. I have 2 options; 1) cut...
Very nice indeed! And I like how you got rid of all those distasteful add-ons.
That's the problem with this hobby. At least for me; if I think I can do something myself; I will invest in the tools and the time to learn that task. Plumbing was one of the 1st things I tackled...
:drool::2up:
I got a Mr Gasket T-stat housing from a defunct performance parts store for the 351W. A week after installing it; the chrome started peeling off; and I haven't even run the engine yet. :rolleyes:
Change of plans; none of the fittings I got, fit the steering box. I assumed they were npt fittings; when in fact, they're SAE. Fortunately, I had extra fittings that I got for the steering pump;...
Assembled the low pressure/return line for the power steering pump. Figured that would be the hose I would use for my 1st high pressure hose assembly. Now that I know how these go together; I will...
Good thing I'm not too worried about aesthetics; otherwise I'd be very annoyed.
I pounded it down flat the best I could with a hammer and wide punch. I am using a 5/16" U-nut and stainless bolt to hold the upper bracket down on that side. The driver side upper bracket bolt...
Devil is definitely in the details. Very nice!
I put thick washers behind the power steering bracket to make up the gap; never-siezed the threaded rod going into the cylinder head; and tightened it down with 7/16" cap nuts. Still waiting on the...
Sorry for the late reply; the LEDs had an ahdesive-backed mounting flange/pad. Just peel and stick to whatever surface. Just made that car look more like something it was not.
A long time ago; but when the circuit ribbon in the dash of my Malibu died; I went to the local Drug Fair (I think they're defunct, wonder why?) and got these LED lights that I glued to the steering...
I received those bends and laid them out. The piping is now very close to the stock tailpipe; just needs to be cut down to fit on a couple of the straight sections. I'm gonna leave it a little long...
Hmmmm.......interesting. My packing list says 58134; but I double checked the box; and it says 58434. Which kinda makes sense as I had to return the 1st set of headers because the flanges had a...
I tried a set of the MAC 1-3/4" shorties and the collectors pointed into the starter on the passenger side and the edge of the AOD bellhousing on the driver side. I will double check to see if they...
Nice wagon! I like the blue paint on the valve covers and air cleaner; really sets that engine apart. Side exhaust; what mufflers are you running with that?
