Sorry about neglecting this thread. Going through a divorce, so this seamed trivial. Almost done. Here are some mid work pics. I think it's been primed and he's going to throw some white on there he had laying around the shop. Can't afford a good paintjob for now. Pretty sure it comes home...

Typical Iowa car. Can't find a clean old f150 to save your life. Funny thing is Kent was never fazed. I asked him several times if he will be able to stop the rust and he never blinked. I've already found a local source for POR15 and will be doing the full underside and engine bay. Probably...

More uglyness.

No testing at all here in Iowa.

The launch is so important on an 8th mile. If you want to compete, you might have to get serious. I'm kind of struggling with this myself. I have a 408 that will never hook with anything that is streetable, but I'm not ready to give up windy country roads. Kind of sucks. For now it's just a...

Glenwood is a couple hours from me. You must be close by. I'm from the land of John Wayne.

Is it normal to run larger brakes up front with skinnies on a drag setup? Would the larger brakes weigh more offsetting the weight savings from the tires? Would the skinnies even grip under braking? Just sitting here thinking. A drag setup really isn't about handling. Not even very good...

RPM/MPH From Gear Ratio Calculator by Wallace Racing Using 25.7, .68, 3.73 2500 is 75.36 25.7, .63, 3.73 2500 is 81.34

Has to be a calculator somewhere for that. If you know the gear ratios for 5th gear and the rear end, that has to be simple math. PS, almost forgot tire diameter. Should be about 25.7".

Their sve (lmr in house brand). They have 3" of adjustment. I haven't driven it much yet so can't say much. Install was easy enough and all fit well.

Ok, going to start moving quick now. First the ugly. And I do mean ugly. If you have a weak stomach you should leave now.

I'm afraid people are going to need more details and pics to answer. And still there are no guarantees.

Here's an option. Four Wheel Drive Ball Joint Service Kit careful not to calapse the arm. Support with wood or something. I like c clamps. PS, you'll need a breaker bar and the appropiate impact socket. PPS, I looked at the link and they clearly are installed in a sleeve and I...

Contemporary Christian. Lifehouse, Newsboys, Jars of Clay, Third Day. That is when I can hear the radio. Between the motor and the fuel pump it can be loud.

Yes, but not for much longer. Will come home with new rockers, quarters, and without the rear and side pieces. Will retain the front air dam and I'll remove the wing as soon as I can pick up a new deck lid. Watching craigslist for a deal.

Well we made it there with the checkbook, but no camera. I guess there wasn't anything to see yet anyway. Kent promised to take progress pics, plus I was going to visit on Saturdays. Dropped a grand in advance. That should get it going. Putting on new rockers, an excellent set of quarters...

It's off to the body shop this afternoon or tomorrow morning. Will take him 2-4 weeks. I'll post up pics of the rusty bodykit pos on it's way. Really looking forward to it.

Are you using a checker spring on that valve or the actual spring? Once you have a checker spring simulate the cam lift with your hand and really get down there and look for movement across that valve end. Looks like it moved from the pictures, but it would be really hard to tell without being...

If it's truely rust free in and out through and through, and has been looked over machanically by a pro, might be worth that. Miles are high, so hard to believe doesn't have any issues.

Ok, now we have a goal. For everything you put in that motor, a custom cam doesn't cost much (reletive to all the other costs) and could really bring alot out of it. Plus with a custom cam you should get a few recommendations like the fuel system or whatever to get the most out of what you...
