Its not too much labor when you make your girlfriend do the majority of it and you just sit and watch

Good morning guys
I like the look of black with the chrome rivet's.
Looks like we might go to the RI zoo today because I don't have a truck till tomorrow.

Morning all. On the way to work I spilled an entire gallon of pool shock (liquid) in the back of my car, so I got to turn around and spend 90 minutes which I didn't really have gutting 2/3 of the interior of my car

I am thinking about buying a 95 F150 ext cab with a blown motor. The frame and body are in pretty good shape so I would like to take my 351 out of the rusty 93 and put it in the 95. If I did this does anyone khow how would it work for emissions testing? I think they go off the vin # and info off the door sticker.

Afternoon folks.
We had a good ( just a little drizzle ) day at the zoo, the kids loved it.
Then we went to see the rat for a late lunch.

Greg I am sorry to hear about the mess, yuck!

Glad you had a good time at the zoo!

I probably won't be able to drive the car for the better part of a week while the fumes dissipate. The only thing stopping me from jumping off a cliff is that it appears that I didn't "bleach" anything. So far I can not find anything discolored.

Kevin, they harness and engine should swap over if you have a 351 or 302 they can use the same computer, as that 95 will be maf. I'm sure they wont notice or check the engine. The 302 and 351 look nearly the same. You would really have to know you stuff to know the difference.
