It did . It's just a bare roller right now. I have a really nice t5 in a box for it. I have been cleaning parts for a few weeks one at a time at work. While I'm working on Clifford I'm going to gather the parts needed for it. I have a bunch of sn95 suspension parts I traded for that a buddy still needs to bring over. It will be a big project but fox body projects go fast since they are so small lol

I'm super jealous, Aaron, but I am happy for you. That's going to be an awesome project. Now - FOCUS. Big, red truck....

Don't worry, Clifford comes first. Car cover going on it and it'll chill for a while. Main thing is I have it...the rest is easy...

Looks nice! Don't you have a 5.4L left over from a Navi build! }>

No, I sold it. I just want this one to sound like a fox and drive well for family adventures.
My fast project is stored at a buddies barn for a someday project...if I can finish these then it will be a no holds barred deal...maybe someday.

Long time no drop in fellas. Not much time for the mare project right now, but we sure are putting the SD through it’s paces. Close to 20k behind it!

Congrads on the travel trailer. Now we all have to figure a central place to meet, and a date...…..


Tom can sleep in a tent

fordman67 08-31-2019 07:44 PM

West Virginia. That's my guess.

Maybe someday..

skuzzybucket 09-01-2019 01:59 PM

Wva not far from here, let me know, I'll hunt down a place, and make some inquires on a group meet

Could be a lot of fun.

How bout the middle of the country somewhere? Not all of us are from the south/east/southeast. 😁

Hey Darrin, how’s the car been running this year? You haven’t been on much this summer!

427 fordman 09-01-2019 07:10 PM

Hey Tom! I've looked on quite a bit, just haven't posted much. Car ran pretty good all year but pi$$ed me off a couple weeks ago so I parked it until next year. I've got my 514 in it now, which is a dry sump motor with lots of AN lines running from an external oil pump. I had a couple leaks last year so I replaced all the lines and hose ends. Now it decided to leak somewhere again. I can't tell for sure where as it doesn't leak just idling. I'm tired of it and not sticking another dollar in it so I parked it. I'm putting my big FE motor back together with a few upgrades for next year. 😁. I'm really an FE guy anyway, and this motor worked excellent the last time it was in 2 years ago, finished 2nd in points and represented our track in Memphis.

I have been wondering if you figured out your injector issue you had a while back? I don't recall seeing you post a fix, but I could have missed it.
