i have to pull the motor out.. seem's that when the engine rebuilder did my lower end he scuffed up the rear main seal and it is leaking oil pretty good. when that is done i want to get it off to rockford to have some mandrel stainless exhaust bent up. those are all my plan's for the winter.

Yep, I have my 1972 F-100 in the garage right now, partially disassembled. It was originally a 360. It now has a 315 hp 390 out of a late 60's passenger car. It's been bored .030 over, Engle cam, Accel dual point dist. I am now in the process of installing an Edelbrock Performer RPM manifold and a Demon carburetor (750 Speed-Demon). I'm going to take my time and clean up the engine compartment, and add some dress-up parts.
This is a rust-free Arkansas truck that I have never subjected to Illinois road salt.

Also......Just bought (this past monday) a 1966 Ranchero. This one is from Oklahoma and totally rust-free also. It was originally a 289 with three speed on the column. It now has a 351W with 3,000 miles on a fresh rebuild. .030 over, Keith Black pistons, cam, roller rockers, DUI ignition, Hooker headers, etc. It is currently running an AOD transmission, which works fine, but...
I couldn't help but notice that all of the clutch linkage is still under the dash, including the pedal, which is pushed up against the firewall and tucked under the top edge of the carpet. It sure would be easy to change it back! And I've got this toploader out of a '66 Fairlane that I've saved in case I might need it someday!

i got my exhaust done so my winter mods are done.

i got true duals with 2.5" pipes and 18" glasspacks. it gave me the sound i was wanting. its plenty aggressive and it really crackles when i rev it up. its not LOUD but loud enough for me and to get me in trouble.

Santa gave me an Airaid induction kit and Procomp ES9000 shocks for the winter projects on my 97 F-150. I now have to spend some money on a few maintainence items before I go any further with the mods. I'd love to see your completed projects.

I've pretty much shelved the plans for the flame job this year. Not enough cash on hand. I am still going to go with the monochrome black look and I also plan to remove the 4.56's and go with 5.13's!
