I think this will be ok here, but Steve can correct me if not...

Wondering if anyone who has access to a mecahnics data base/estimating software, what the estimated hours would be for the following work:

R&R Turbo and uppipes including pedestal to rebuild/replace o-rings and EBPV
R&R Intake Plenums
R&R Passenger Side Fuel Line and Fuel Bowl
R&R HPOP
R&R Innercooler and Radiator plus Hoses and Belt

Just trying to get a rough idea on what a shop would quote for labor. I'm doing all the above work on my dad's truck converting it from E99 to Late 99 and wanted to figure out how much he's saving....might be used in negotiations later on if I need any new tools...

If I only had the room
I'm having a new FE built for my '74 4x
The old girl has been beat on in her life so I'm gonna give her about 445 inches of new life.

Maybe it's just me, but driving around SoCal with a blade would be very .

Yeah, plow trucks can get a bit holy in the snow belt.

Any one remember the LTD? I recall that land yacht had some cubes.

Sure, I'll actually be looking in the junk yards for one to get the front spindles off of it for my T bird. They had disc brakes.
