well i figured the top id make from ASTM A-36 structural steel channel and use the 1/8 for the triangular side bracing...

 

Well give it a try. If it doesn't work out, you'll know it!

 

Hows that 429 lookin B

 

eventually i will.. just dont have the time.. the $$ or the tools too get it done atm... well have most the tools just not all of them...

 

Lookin good Gigman, lookin real good

 

Thats good B, the better it looks the less it costs to overhaul huh

 

You bet!

 

brandon what kind of vehicle did you get that 429 out of?? was it another truck or a car?

 

It originally was in a 68 thunderbird. Then it was transplanted into one of my cousin's bronco's. Then it sat for 7-8 years and now I have it

Laptop battery is going to die soon... will probably disappear unannounced..

 

reason i asked was because they had different specs between the truck engines and the car engines for the 429... so since it came from a T-bird youll want this for when you rebuild... its the same place i get mine..

Happy July Nebraska and Ford fans everywhere! First Monday in July, get er done early and take Wednesday off.

 

not yet it aint... still sunday.... its still sunday till my alarm goes off tomorrow at 6am...

 

I haven't found any reason to rebuild this engine, so I'm not going to. Tomorrow I am hoping to remove a main bearing cap and check a couple of the main bearings, but if they are like the rest of the engine I'm sure it will be good to go.

 

On a side note....I have a new Ford Truck 1998 f150, extended cab, 5.4, 151,000 miles

 

Good Monday morning Nebraska

Great morning Josh and Brandon!
