Not going to happen. Ill let it rot under the carport first.

[LXtasy]

Fords go to the yard not under the carport. :D


Gl this go round. Gas is cheaper this time of your rebuild, so when you get it done you will have a blast driving it.

Yes I have the heads, cams and the cylinder head changing kit. (gaskets and head bolts) I will prob work on it next week end. We changed to 4 10's on my main job. And we rotate from monday to thursday then from tuesday to friday. So I get a 2 day weekend and a 4 day weekend. Now if I can get my other job to work with me I'll have some time to get it done.

[wade w]

Yea its been a while. I finally got it where I have 4 days off both jobs together. Ive been working every day somewere for a while now. I got everything but the heads and exhaust off today. I want to get where Im putting it back together tomorow. If all goes well I should have it done this weekend.

[Richard Head]

Good luck Wade, hope it all comes together for you this time. you doing it with the motor still in the truck?

[wade w]

Ya. Im doing it in the truck. I got it all the way apart today with no problems. Had I started on it in the morning yesterday. I could of had it apart in one day. I didnt start on it yesterday untill 1pm. I ran into a problem today. I never had the heads I just bought checked out. I know. Stupid on my part. One of the intake valves are bent. Its just barly bent and I could take one out of one of the other heads and go ahead and put it on, but I just dont trust them now. Im going to have them checked out before I put them on. Damn it.:?

[Richard Head]

Well hope they check out ok.

[wade w]

Thanks. I hope so to.

[wade w]

Well, Im getting them fixed, but damn it. Its going to cost me more to get them fixed then what I paid for the heads in the first place. It has a total of 8 bent valves and they need guides and seals. I swear this truck does not like me.

Wade. Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Better now than after they were installed!
You would have really been angry!

[bccoupe]

Welcome to the forum.... I know you are on the Sav. Racing forum. Most on here don't know you. Introduce yourself and your ride! :bigthumb: Thanks Mike. Hell I really dont know what to say but Ive got 2 coupes 89 & 93, The blue 89 is a race car & the red 93 is my street car. The 89 is a built 8.2 deck dart motor with a big set of high port's and a F1R Procharger. I just got the new motor in a couple of weeks ago and went to Macon drag way week before last and ran a .33 with it right off the trailer with the old tune in it. So it should go a little faster once it's tuned. The 93 is a bone stock 5.0 that's never had the valve cover's off and a 76mm precision turbo. Ive got a built dart motor going in it very soon so Im pretty excited about that being my first tubo setup also. So I guess that's my claim to fame.Dont know much about you guy 's either so maybe I'll get to know some you guy's to Thank's.
