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.

I`m stuck with stock manifolds unless I can find headers that will work with the clip on my 56 M100.
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
