Roger on that (less U got everything, as I lucked out 2 have).
The breaks R easy tho, turn in some calipers (whatever U got) knocks off $60 round here, got 2 el derado's rears (has e-brake in em) & 2 CJ rotors ($70) both from '85 I think. I bough the brackets from a race vendor & welded em on. Hafta go look, I forgot what I did for the lines. Used an Mark XXXX or sompin for the larger capacity MC.

"...really small and we only have one..."

well got everything installed for my power steering yesterday. everything went perfect. seems to work just like nay other power steering. if i have any problems down the road ill switch in the saginaw pump, already have a rebuilt sitting. but right now its perfect. did find out the power steering pitman arm is bugger and a little longer, with about 1" drop at the end. same splines as the manual pitman arm.

That's Y I hated to see the "cash 4 clunkers" program.
If any 1 sees a head for a '77 - '83 Ford 200/250ci I'd like a useable one.

You might try Summit Racing they carry a lot of goodies they may have it rebuilt or new, Or a local auto parts store that way you don't have to deal with a machine shop one thing I hate having done is a valve job,By the time they get done parts and labor its usually cheaper to get a new head.
