I also got a little work done yesterday on the motor, got the TFS valvesprings in, put the pushrods back in, got the rocker arms back on, and painted the oil pan. I also found the oil pan bolts from another motor I had, so that saved me a few bucks.

The rear is done, picking it up tomorrow morning. Gonna get it in saturday and have an awesome time autocrossing it with the trak-loc and the 3.73's...
And another 40 bucks added to the total so far. Also picking my oil pressure and water temp gauges up this weekend hopefully. Auto meter white face gauges. Those will be going in a homemade center console that will have the gauges and CUPHOLDERS!!!!!!!! And like 3 cigarette lighters..Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

I always thought it was amazingly stupid that these cars did not come with cupholders. I want pics of this console when you're done with it.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

I'm going to look at swapping my armrests for later style Towncar Cartier ones. They actually come with a cupholder. It looks like I can just swap them out, but I'll know once I find a nice set in grey velour.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
