Imagine how I feel....

I went through all my old files from my old PC and I cant find that video. That sucks..
Bummer cause now I am curious. :rlaugh:

What, did the old man bitch you out or something?


The engine looks like its seen better days but with your skills I am sure it will be sweet when its done. :nice:
 
I went out on a side road way out by the highway and did a big burnout, Down the road a ways was some houses, The old man heard me and came riding down on a moped and chewed me out.
 
He said HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF I CAME TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND DO THIS.

I said If you want to follow me over there Ill video tape you doing a burnout too.

The he threatend to call the cops. I said go ahead and you can explain to them why you have under aged kids riding scooters that require plates and a motorcycle license to ride on public streets. He decided to turn around and go home at that point.

[/:dead: Im surprised you didnt throw your Big Gulp at him!!!!
 
I finished taking the 351 apart. The only thing left to do is remove the cam bearings. The pipes on my bike are chrome not gold,its the ligting. LOL

I was looking at the lifter valley and was thinking it looks identical to the 302. I got on ebay and looked up roller conversion kits for 302 and the kit says that it can be used on 302 and 351 so if this is the case, I am going to drill and tap the valley and use a 302 spider and lifter bars to convert to roller lifters. This will be free and is great! Free versus buying the retro lifter with the link bars attached at around $400.00 heres the info I found on ebay.

The rod and main bearings were smoked in this engine.

I was on my way to work one morning and the dude kept tailgating me as close as he possibly could. I sped up and brake checked him. He didnt back off but he did start flashing his brights at me so I brake checked him harder. He still wouldnt back off. So I put the car in neutral and coasted to a stop. He was stuck between me and other cars. I got out and launched my freshly filled 44oz big gulp at his windshield. It het dead center on the glass. I proceeded to see it was a teenager and I ran to his car and tried to pull him out of the car to beat his ass. He got the door pulled back closed and I yelled at him to back off and stay off my ass. I was later that week diagnosed as Bi polar which explained the sudden rage over something minor..... Im not proude of what I did and it could have gotten me killed.

So someone messing with you to the point of pissing you off, intentionally, and you showing anger means you have bi polar? Hmmm

No. I had been not feeling well for awhile. I was up then down, happy then instantly angry. This kept escalating,when I did had the road rage I decided to go to the Dr. Thats when I found out I was Bi polar. I was actually being treated for depression by another Dr, but the meds they had me on were actually making me worse because it wasnt depression, it was Bi polar.


so what are your plans for this thing? is it going to stay a 351 or something more sinister :eek:

Hoping to do a 393 or 408 stroker. It will be awhile before I build it. No money right now.
 
I always loved the 351 as Fords best motor for a Hot Rod. Back in the 90's this kid in town got hold of a 64 Fairlane, slammed it to the ground, put a nice paint job on it and put in a roller 351. MAN!! I never heard a sweeter sounding street car in my life!! Now boring and stroking that sucker out to a 427 just gives me wood thinking about it! :nice:
 
I am going to take it to work and hot tank it, then power wash it. I brought a 4-5" micrometer and inside mics home today so I can measure the bores to see if its a virgin block or not.
 
I measured the bores its a virgin block. It measured 4.002 so it has minimal wear. I could probably just hone it and put it back to stock but I will decide all of that later as money is available.
