Subject: Re: Front Clip Options Stu: The Volare is a good option; but also consider the heavier Cordoba one. Also, I've heard of a person who grafted a Torino clip under a '56. That would give you motor mounts for as big of engine as you would like and keep the project pure FOMOCO <grin>. Re: adjustable MII units, airbags are available. Good to hear about the 4 link rear suspension. I considered it for my project, but decided to stay with the ordinary leaf spring style. I'll probably remove all but the longest 4 leaves following a suggestion I received. Speaking of my project, I've located a 78 302/C4 combination (with all accessories still attached) very near my home for $100. It's out of a formerly running vehicle. I'm now drilling out the spot welds on the MII clip to remove the extra sheet metal in preparation for splitting it. If I find I don't like the split clip, I'll mount suspension on a FATMAN or equivalent. Tim Bowman Burien, WA tkbowman qwest.net

I am leaning now, at this point toward a Volare clip for three reasons. 1. They are a tad beefier than the Mustang II unit and since we will have a healthy FE in there I will feel a little better about the extra support. 2. Parts are readily available for the Volare clips and it appears it will remain that way thanks to many street rod people who use these units. 3. The front ride height is adjustable in a matter of seconds with a Volare - unless someone has come up with an adjustable Mustang II recently, I don't think they are as easily adjustable. I am looking for something that we be useful on this "long term vehicle" so parts availablity it rather important. Yes FTE land, you are hearing Mr. Blue blooded FoMoCo himself say, he is thinking of using a non-Ford component in his truck. Atleast it ain't a Camaro front clip. 8^) Mustang II's have practically unlimited potential as they appear to be THE item to put under the front of any ride. Decisions, decisions.......Thankfully, the front end and frame work will not begin until February or so right after we finish the four link rear end. Keep the discussion going.....I am all ears.

In Philadelphia, we have what's called "Fabric Row" and I've been to shops that have this foam. They use it for reupolstering chairs and couches. If you were resourceful and wanted to do it all yourself, you could go this route. I made a custom seat cover for one of my scooters and reshaped the foam using this repacement foam. Perhaps you can find it locally or someone can order it for you.

I presume your engine is stock and, as such, has a "dual plane" manifold. This means that each side of the 2BBL carb feeds 4 cylinders. One side does 1,4,6,7 and the other side does 2,3,5,8. This means that if the carb gasket, for example, was leaking, you would see the truck running on 4 cylinders at idle. In any case, both 4 and 8, the cylinders you say are missing, would not both be affected. It makes much more sense that your intake manifold is leaking at the rear. Another possible thing you probably have not considered is if the lobes on the back of the cam are getting flat. To check this, pull the valve covers and run the engine - see if the rockers on those cylinders are not moving near as much as the others. _ _| ~~. John Strauss \, *_} jstrauss inetport.com

It > wasn't clear to me. Does it make any sense to you? Makes sense to me. We had a 66 Buick Wildcat that we regularly had to replace the carb to manifold gasket on. We could always tell when it needed it because of the rough idle and it was impossible to tune. If this is the case with your truck, you should be able to turn one idle mixture screw all of the way in without killing the engine. -- John jlagrone ford-trucks.com <]:-) <]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-)

Put on a new seat cover and you are good to go. The seat covers I put on can be tied on so that you can take them off and wash them. This is also handy if you get a lump in the padding.

I'd recommend you stop up all vacuum ports prior to tearing down the carb.. If memory serves me correctly, there is a vacuum port behind the card in the intake and this is where the vacuum booster for the power brakes gets its vacuum.. Try removing the hose to the boostrer and stopping up this port 1st. You might have a bad diaphram in your power booster.. Also if you have Cruise control, it might get its vacuum from the same port. I don't believe it is the carb, but I do believe it is a vacuum leak..Compression is too even for it to be valves.. Also try stoping up the PCV valve and see if the two cyls start to hit.. Try blocking off anything connected to vacuum 1st(one at a time)..

The after market, copies are already beefed up in the right places for you but, of course, are more pricey. Most people who use this front end on a truck have no intention of ever doing anything with it but cruising with no load in which case an MII will probably work as is with slightly stronger springs but this front end was made for a car that weighed half of what a 2wd truck weighs. Have you ever, in all your years, seen an OEM engineer over build anything? I saw a Tbird racing family team use Chevy front clips to meet the sector steering requirments and also, apparently gain something in the spring adjusment catagory as well but there are ford front ends that would have worked just as well, just much harder to find because they are under cars still being driven.......:-) Happily Semi-Retired, Michigan Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary :-) > I agree with Wish and Don on the Mustang II as a solid choice BUT - ------------------------------ From: JUMPINFORD aol.com

Subject: somewhat off topic, but still Ford truck related Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2000 19:45:14 -0600 I need a good winter vehicle for the nasty winters we get here in Minnesota. (you Colorado people amuse me, it's nice there!) I am looking at possibly purchasing a 1994 F150 XL pickup. It is black, regular cab, 300, 5spd, 4 wheel drive, 82,000 miles. They want about $7500 for it. Sound like a good deal? It runs great and it appears to not have anything wrong with it. Anyone know of any specific things I should be on the lookout for on this truck?

I would jump at it if I had found it, although I would try to talk them down to 7000 :) go gophers, Dan -----Original Message----- From: 61-79-list-bounce ford-trucks.com
