new summit crossed drilled and slotted rotors.

Old rag joint, new one is polly.

new headers, side exit.

good pic of new rotors and side exit headers. ceramic coated to boot!

T-bird calipers, a great upgrade for 70's ford trucks and bronco. Also put F350 wheel cylinders on the rear. Greatly improving breaking.

Hows the motor going? What kind of fuel mileage are you getting with this setup? It seems like you have pretty well optimized it.

An email about this comment is the first email from Ford-Trucks I've gotten in years! Burglars got in my house and stole the cam, lifters, intake, headers, S.S. exhaust system, etc. I had intended for my truck and I haven't got back to it yet...
