The question I have is should I use this block or go with my 90 block that is already honed and reamed? It is a bare block. Idk which way to go.

Can anyone take a pic of the pins that hold the fuel tank straps to the chassis. I have brand new bolts for the front but dont know how the rear is setup. Please and thank you!

I'll see if i can find mine on my red car, it's uber simple though. The pin that holds them in just slips out of the whole in the rear bracket. Just fiddle with the strap a little bit and the pin can be easily pushed out.

I was told there was some kinda anchor that bolts in and the pins go in it. So I'm just trying to make sure.
Not on my '86. I'll be putting in a new gas tank in my '83 in about three weeks. I'll try to pay attention there.
I'll go out in the garage here shortly and try to take a trip down memory lane for you. My '86 is out there.

Ok, there is only one pin that is captured in the mount on the rear of the car, here are pictures of one of my straps that i mounted and then took back off. You just need to align the pin with the holes and use a punch or some such device to push the pin out from the mount. It secures itself in there, even though it sounds simple and might fall out on its own, it won't. Clever design on ford's part.

Ran into a snag. Have an sn95 tank that has the four notch lock rings and having trouble finding them.Ok, it's been a month and a half. Surely you have at least the gas tank in, right.......
Oh crap! I was supposed to check that for you. I'm sorry. Would you mind to send me a PM about that? It'll help me to remember.
