Progress on my 48 F1

Making good progress, the engine is just about done, I have most of the drivetrain parts now it's just a matter of putting it all back together.

Chuckrob, nice looking engine (and Mustang too). Congrats on the progress.

(Glad you added the pictures link. I was beginning to look for my glasses. LOL)

Good looking engine & Mustang. With your location I hope that Jeep gets "used" a little bit.....

The Mustang is all done, it has a 466 with a C6


The Jeep gets used the most, can't get up the driveway during the winter without it.

ChuckRob, are you putting a brake booster/master cylinder on the firewall?

I have some questions about mine, if so. Thanks!

Jeff, yes I am going to put the booster/master cylinder on the firewall, I was going to use a fox Mustang Pedal box but I am not sure if I like the way it fits. I do like the pedal assembly from Classic Haulers but I have not made any firm decisions yet.

Nice Mustang too! I use to have a '73 Mach1...

I will be looking for valve covers that will fit under the gt40 upper, I may need a spacer, but haven't looked into it deep yet. I will be putting my engine back together now. Just got the block back today and so when I get the intake on, I will look into it. I would REALLY like a set of those "FORD RACING" aluminum ones, but they are tall...

The Ford Racing covers will definetely not fit without a spacer. The covers that I am using are a little tight but will fit the roller rockers. I will be putting in a 1" spacer, I have the spacer, just don't have the right bolts just yet.

How were you going to do the swing pedal for the brake?

Sorry for the delay, I have a m/c, booster and pedal assy. from a '91 t-bird. already mounted and done except for a little clean up. With the 351W truck intake, it fit fine. But now I got booster interference. I may just replace it with the Explorer setup, but haven't looked under the dash of one yet.
edit: I was just looking at the 1" spacer on ebay and bookmarked it. I will post pics of the pedal assy. this is all I have right now, but can get a better one tomorrow.
