Getting all giddy.... should fire it off this week if the wheels don't fall off the wagon... it's being installed on the engine stand today...

cool!.. you know you don't get very good mileage on the engine stand.. right?

when we gonna see it on the chassis?

Sam

 

it gets better mileage on the stand than in the frame !!!

asap I HOPE !!! I'm anxious to see if it's gonna fit... I'll either be jumping for joy or sitting in the corner crying..soon enough

engine guy surprised me.... what do you know about Quick Fuel carbs???... he put a 750 DP on it. 'posed to be easy to tune street carb with lots of low end grunt

 

never heard of them before.. seems they are more race origin (drag/circle) than street.. but must be the HR (HotRod) series.

Sam

 

John - You do good work, sometimes maybe

 

well, he does it often at least!

Sam

 

I may screw up a lot but at least I'm slow and you can recover from it !

 

no one EVER said 'screw up'.. you change your mind..

and you've helped me decide a million things BEFORE having to decide again!..

Sam

 

soooo I'm making YOUR mistakes for you by proxy

j

 

Yes, Sir! and I cannot tell you how many times I appreciate your service!

sam

 

Good looking engine. Similar to the one I hope to put back in mine this weekend. Based on the oil pan, I presume you are installing in something with a Mustang IFS in it? If so, did you build your own mounts or purchase them?

Good luck,
Pat

 

good eye Pat....

yes, it's going in a '53 with a MII... we fabbed the mounts...

 

Thanks for the pic. I am still debating about purchasing over fabbing. For the money, it may be worth it vice me trying to engineer them. Yours do give me some ideas though.

 

I opt for the jumping for joy. Sitting in the corner crying is not allowed

I'll keep my fingers crossed
