Got a few
Goodies that is.
12 new rocker arms and valve cover gasket.
We can feel the performance now.
$41 bucks for all 12 rockers, I didn't think that was to bad of a price.
We also removed the stock intake and exhaust manifolds. We have EFI exhaust manifolds to put on.
We will be using the stock intake for awhile. Need to save a few coins for a new Offenhauser or Clifford intake (haven't decided which one to use yet, but we are leaning towards the Offenhauser) and 4bbl carb.

Looks like a good start.
You'll notice quite an improvement with just the EFI manifolds and stock intake. Are you upgrading your exhaust too? The stock pipe is pretty restrictive. (I think it's 1 7/8")

We are in the midst of obtaining a complete factory exhaust system of a 91 F150. If we do indeed get it, we will be running that for awhile.
The next thing on my to do list is make a plate for the bottom of the intake. Like you did, for the coolant to pass threw.

You are wise to plan to heat the bottom of the intake manifold. Remember to clean the area under the carburetor prior to installing the plate. If not, your antifreeze will get dirty very quickly as it cleans the area where exhaust gases used to heat.

Heh, I learned that one from experience. Blech. What a mess.
