If you are interested in a better, but slightly pricier burger. There is a place called Plan B in glastonbury that is absolutely fantastic. Just throwing it out there. 5 guys and hooters are good for me too though.

Congrats tanner. I have had a soft spot for those flat nose trucks recently. Does it have a/c?! I had the 351 in my bronco, and it was a lively engine, if I only I could have gotten it running right. Damn previos owner BS! Should be pretty fun to work on. Although you have the EFI. I had the 4 barrel carbed version

I honestly don't know if it has a/c. LOL. I never checked as it wasn't something is was concerned about at the time. I'm gonna assume it doesn't. Its a custom with no options. A/c Would be so helpful right now.

Stupid previous owners... The engine on this thing runs great. I also have a soft spot for this generation even tho the front is ugly. It grows on you. The interior is my favorite, it like a refined 80 but not changed so much like the 92-96/97.

Can't wait to work on it. All of this really is a learning process for me.
