What did you use, exhaust manifolds or headers? I have a few different sets of headers but none of them would work with the 1980 Mercury front clip so I`m using a set of 351 stock manifolds, they are bigger than the 302 ones.
Using the stock manifolds. I'm lucky if I can get about 3 hours sleep before my back , shoulder or hip wakes me up..

It`s great when younger kids get exposed to older vehicles like our`s and even greater when they have a genuine interest.
I plated my stock 64 XL and my stock 53 M100 yesterday when it was super nice, today sucked with the cold and wind so I didn`t go for a cruise.

Is it arthritis John or worn out body parts?

It was very windy here yesterday Morris but the temp was still decent, I was comfortable in a T Shirt.
Although my daughter wouldn't admit it she, likes riding in the old truck also.
Gerry, buy a black one, they look so much better. ;-) At least that is the color i would get.

You can never replace a Ford with anything less.

Hi Grant, at least things are rolling along at your end, a lot are just grinding along hopping things pick up soon.

Chores are done for the day, now I get to kick back and watch the roundy round race on FOX, it may be a fake race though. Guy says he's going to drop by and look at a 351m motor and C6 combo that I have in back. I'll never use it so it would be nice to see it go. This is clean out and raise the shelter time for the next 2 weeks and it would be nice to close it all off with a $350 tip and then I'll be ready for May with everything that I want done, done.
No parades around here except for at the dump, guy in front of me was in a 68 Fargo 600.

It`s easy for me to say what you should buy but if I`m not paying for it best I keep quiet.
The last part of the race was a heart breaker but the kid still did good, leading for part of the race and picking up points. He`ll be dynamite in a few yrs.

I can relate to that, the golden yrs aren`t all that golden.

I got tired of seeing Johnson winning and developed the 'anyone but Jimmie' attitude
