I've heard this same argument over and over for years, but I haven't run into it myself on any of my own "older vehicles" or any customers cars. Just dumb luck or what ? Tore my 68 390 down and it looked great for the age and mileage, and it hadn't seen Lead in years. Same way with a recent 351w. But when I got the heads done, I went ahead and had hard seats put in. It can't hurt, it was only about $80 more.

Hart" Subject: FTE Perf - Fun in the winter ... Well all, just thought I'd pass along some fun I've been having. After predictions of 1-3 and 2-4 inches of snow, I was of course skeptical at best. Its still snowing a bit off and on and we have over 4" pretty easily :) Nice wet thick stuff :) Had to run some errands around lunch time and decided to head out with a friend in a Jeep, so you can imagine our 2 full size vehicles (his is a Grand Wagoneer) plowing through the back streets ... we went and visited a park with a huge hill just to see what was up and found some parking space to try out the new tires and new motor (he's got the new tires, I've got the new motor :) It was quite fun, though my lack of fuel prevented me from any donuts or anything, no traction in the rear at all ... so while he showed off with his donuts I was able to just spin at least 3 from a dead stop, something he was unable to do, at least not for quite the distance I was ... We then had some fun with some un-travelled roads and pretty much concluded the fun with a trip to the fuel station and finally back to the parking lot. Maybe after work we can sneak in a bit more, but at any rate it was a blast :) No more of those rice burners or muscle cars pickin on me today :) Just my $.02 wish 96 Mustang GT 5spd 4.6L 73ish 1/2ton 4x4 6.4L http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.public.iastate.edu/~wish == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2000 18:14:15 -0800 From: able office machines Subject: FTE Perf - Re: EBML need ring gear bolts for 9 inch and Dana 44 and also Flywheel for V8 lilpony bellsouth.net wrote: > I need ring gear bolts for my 9 inch rear and also my Dana 44 front.
