After is in progress, smoothing the firewall, putting small booster ect on it. Hopefully have it back running in another week ot two. Had a zillion holes in the firewall when I got it. Can't even imagine what the heck they had bolted all over it at some point in time

Before and engine waiting to go back in and will post after when its all back together

 

To raise the flathead count.

 

I don't know how you got away with no duct tape!

Here is a before of mine. No after shots yet, and the during has not yet changed all that much! With the exception of being able to see the thing minus the big *** cleaner on it.....



There is always next week right? Damn work job.....

Thank you Jim!! A lot of great stuff here, I like seeing the flatties. One day soon, mine will be running too.

Now, do I know how to do this swap? NO, but am I scared hell nah, maybe a lil..lmao After I install the IFS I am saving for I will use FTE to coach me through the engine installation...lol

 

I am very interested in how you worked out that out of chassis exhaust system. Were they pre-manufactured headers or were they custom? Does the exhaust exit between the frame rails under the bed or do they exit under the running boards? Muffler? Any other modifications required? Stock steering box possible?

I am very impressed with your set up. I have lots of questions and my headers on my 302 are almost touching my stock steering box in my 51 F1. Thanks for your help. Steve

 

Here is a During shot from a couple weeks ago of my F6,



somehow managed to get the frame all cleaned up and painted this past Sunday while it was still nice sunny and warm! OT I know it's not under the hood! but close






now on to build the dump bed frame work and attach the 12' script bed.
