If you get some time later come by and I'll throw those heater hoses on your car and we can put some anti-freeze in it before we forget and have some issuse's.
I think where most of you have your problems with all of this, is the fact that you really don't fully understand the internal workings and dynamics of the common combustion engine. There is no magic tune up, and motors are stupid. The only time a motor will complain is when something is wrong.
I think you should pick up one of those top loader set ups we talked about at the dream cruise.....common man everything is there ready for ya
Damn I had that rear main in stock (if it was 2-piece) I should have given it to you with the studs.
11 Mustang GT (street car)
87 Grand National (grudge car)
Misc old Ford street cars
Lol, I like my virgin TQ boxes and semi-ok axles. if I put that trans in there or any 5 speed for that matter The car would get the shit kicked outa it..I think you should pick up one of those top loader set ups we talked about at the dream cruise.....common man everything is there ready for ya

I'm having some minor issues with clearance on things for some reason, some how it all started when 86coupe showed up.
But the intake wouldn't fit down all the way it was hitting the lip on the heads, had to grind on my new intake.
oil pan hits the girdle, tried three styles of rockers before one worked right; even so they might not last long being a 3\8" stud..
btw couple more pics
engine organizers are cool
stock crank love, hopefully it stays in one piece
Setting some head gaskets.
The pile of junk all together minus the oil pan
I have to machine the header adapter plates and the girdle today... should be in tonight possible running tomorrow.
