I got another set of heads. Agian. I also got new cams. Everything is still stock stuff. Hopefully It will go better this time and it wont take so long. The new heads are 8 thread winsor's.

Not going to happen. Ill let it rot under the carport first.

LXtasy · 01-06-2009, 10:24 PM

Fords go to the yard not under the carport.

Gl this go round. Gas is cheaper this time of your rebuild, so when you get it done you will have a blast driving it.

Yes I have the heads, cams and the cylinder head changing kit. (gaskets and head bolts) I will prob work on it next week end. We changed to 4 10's on my main job. And we rotate from monday to thursday then from tuesday to friday. So I get a 2 day weekend and a 4 day weekend. Now if I can get my other job to work with me I'll have some time to get it done.

wade w · 02-14-2009, 01:08 AM

Yea its been a while. I finally got it where I have 4 days off both jobs together. Ive been working every day somewere for a while now. I got everything but the heads and exhaust off today. I want to get where Im putting it back together tomorow. If all goes well I should have it done this weekend.

Richard Head · 02-14-2009, 02:05 PM
