Dang Lee. Not fun. I thought you had a garage to work In tho..

In the spirit of our thread title I got my new shop heater going tonight. 80000 btu seems to work quite well.


Now I can get back on resursction of my dd project I have been working on. Its a 87 f150 SC 351 4v 2wd. It should get me back n fourth just fine so I can give the Dodge back to my dad. Tomorrow night I just have to get the brakes put back together and swap out the brake booster. She's a rough ol dog but I have a pile of rust free tin here already to bring her back .
My plan is by the end of the weekend to be working finally exclusively on Clifford.

Yes! Bring on the big red dog!

I think I'm going to pick up a new (to me DD) this weekend as well. Looked at another Cheep the other night and I think I'm gonna go get it today or tomorrow. "Ran 2 months ago but now won't start" is the line. Hoping its something simple.

I love those brick nose. Did some one converted it a carb set up? 87 was the first year for electronic fuel injection.

incorrect sir. Sorry.
5.8 ho 4v carb and 460 in 87 were carb. 4.9&5.0 were efi. I was perplexed before I bought it until I did some reading. Crazy thinking in 87 carbs were still the norm. Ironically the 89 d250 of my dads was first year efi. 5.9 with a holley TB and pathetic Chrysler controls. Man the drivability quirks are plenty. Always been lime that according to my dad.

Glen,
I have some questions for you regarding insurance and mailing addresses. I have a friend that has started RVing full time with no physical address. She is having a hard time getting auto coverage for her RV with lack of an address. Do you have the name of the company you use?

Either Progressive or Foremost Lee. If worse comes to worst, Escapees is a good club that provides a physical addy.
