Gettin myself into trouble

Well I was looking for engine part numbers numbers on my 67 with the 352.
So I took off a valve cover to see numbers on the top off the head,
then I figured might as well clean up the valve cover
then figured I should get the passenger side valve cover cleaned up purrdy too
then the carb came off for some reason.
Then the intake fell off
right now I got the antifreeze draining so I can take a peak at how my valves and piston look.

Can't stop now....

he he

dont ya hate that when things fall off everywhere

reminds me of the time I had a good running truck with a small exhaust leak at the manifold, so I fixed the manifold and now that it was quieter i could hear my lifters clacking so much for that good running engine I thought I had HAHA

be careful how close you look

Got to watch those old FE intakes as they will break your foot if it falls off.

I guess buying the big 2 barrell kinda killed the high rise 4 barrell idea.

Yes, there isn`t any 2 barrell aluminum intakes made unfortunately.
One truck I bought came with an adapter to go from a 4 barrell intake to a 2 barrell carb.
On my 71 F350 I got a deal on a new Edlebrock aluminum intake so I bought it just to get away from the heavy cast iron one. I think I`ll put it on the 67 Fairlane soon, I`d love to get aluminum heads but they`re abit too expensive.

What did it go for, was it on E-Pay?
I can`t remember what I paid for my new one but it was a pretty good whole sale deal through a friend.

That`s a good deal, I think I paid closer to $400.
I`ll have to try to look it up if I can find the bill.
