If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

They wouldn't trade it for either kid, so I guess I'm not tossing it in the Chrysler anytime soon.

Probably right. You should sell them and go with cash.

I tried to mitigate some of the effect of wind on the towing situation by removing the hoops on the bed... the thing must have been 20 feet tall on the trailer.

Surrounded of course by the detritus of a hundred projects.

On a side note, why did I have to view the source code for the page to get that link?

The craigslist link?

It's right there, and clickable for me.

What browser...or are you surfing from a phone?

It's not a forum problem. That's actually a photo I shared using Google plus. In the past when I wanted to share one of my Google plus photos, I would find the part that gave me the option to copy link. And when I pasted it here inside IMG tags it worked. Not so today.

I was using chrome. But I'm pretty sure it's a Google problem. The link starts the way I remember the other links starting....

Ah, I see...  Ford is still hard at the same shenanigans they were up to with pushrods.

Like Speeddog, I'm also glad I hit the 4-wheeled vehicle project's eject button long ago...

Best of luck!  Seems like you've got a fair bit of it sorted.

Google photos doesn't work good on forums for some reason.

I was considering putting a chevy small block in my 380SL a while back until I found out what a pain that was going to be.

At this point I just want stuff to work. If it doesn't then it goes.

Ah, I see...  Ford is still hard at the same shenanigans they were up to with pushrods.

IIRC:
Early 221's to 289's w/5-bolt transmission mounting
Later small blocks all had 6-bolt
221-302 (circa 1980?) were 28oz crank imbalance
1980?-onward were 5.0's (pushrod) and had 50oz imbalance (NOT interchangable)
1980-1982? had a 255cid V8 w/round intake ports, nothing swaps with these
351cid engines from the Windsor plant were essentially tall-deck 302's
But, they couldn't decide on deck height. 1969 351W was 9.480" & 1970-on were 9.503"
351W had larger main bearings than 302's.
351cid engines from the Cleveland plant were COMPLETELY different (excepting motor mounts and transmission mounting)
1975-1982? 351C's weren't the same as 1969-1974, they changed all the transmission mounting to mimic the 429/460 big-blocks and increased the size of the main bearings.
They called that motor the 351M.  It eventually got a stroker crank and they called that the 400M...

That's just the small block crap that's still lodged in my head...

Ford's transmissions?!?  Christ, they're even worse!

You're not making me look forward to finding another SBF to toss in my brother's Falcon, Stu.

All that, and now throw in the production date changes in between.

There's a reason Ford parts guys drink. ;)

I was looking for a 289 or a 302, ideally with a manual transmission already mated to it, just to make life easier.
