Picked up an engine for the next project, whatever that ends up being. Ford 351 Cleveland Should be a neat candidate to put in something Too wide to fit under the Mustang cover.   ------------- Keep it as original as YOU want it 1978 Mustang (modified) |

Gary, Actually the guy that owned the engine had that handy. I made mine. But I'm sure Pete will pick up on that. lol  That engine has a lot of potential. Maybe a stroker motor.  ------------- Keep it as original as YOU want it 1978 Mustang (modified) |

I bought one Duane,you can see it hidden in here. I had a coupon the 2 ton one was 179,figured I could not go wrong. I'll bet you cannot even buy the steel for that. Here is my project but won't get into it till spring ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

That's the plan Todd. Still in the parts gathering stage. Going to go with a closed cooling system too. I'm not in any hurry,the 302 in it is running fine but being in the salt I know it wont last forever. They are not real easy to find,this one supposedly has a bad piston. The PO started collecting parts and pulled of some items and bagged them. He then decided just to repower. What helped the sale was the new GT40 heads and the new cam and lifters ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

I just sold my engine hoist but it was from Northern Tool. Still, it was probably built by the same company in China that supplies the HF units!! Yes, pretty cheap and yes, there's no way I could have purchased the materials to build one myself for less. I no longer needed it once I moved up here and having the hoists and W beams in the shop. Duane, Interesting engine. Keep us informed on the build. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
