Need to pick up a small shed for the junk, John! I need to pick up a new one myself. Floor is gone in my old one.
Yeah, this morning was gorgeous to get out and cruise a little. Got hot around 10 and I split.
Thanks!

Thanks John! Getting kind of trippy, looking like a Christmas tree
Thank you but not as clean as appears. Could use a bath and a proper paint job.
I have always considered myself more of a mechanic than other things I enjoy doing engine work and assembling engines and making them run, I guess that is why the 250 build was so much fun for me, using a menagerie of Ford I4,I-6and V8 parts from 1960 - 1996 and getting them to all bolt on and run well in the end It is satisfying for me, I feel I accomplished something maybe that was not done before, it is a cool feelingJoe Travers wrote: ↑Fri Jul 09, 2021 11:37 amThank you but not as clean as appears.

Working on engines is one of my passions, more so than the rest of the vehicle. They've always perked my curiosity more than other things.

Yes, I was quite impressed by your hodge-podge of parts in that build. Ford interchange has always been a challenge, especially on the pocketbook.

Most won’t know anyway myself included unless you tell me, if you are happy with it and it look appropriate that is all that mattersJoe Travers wrote: ↑Thu Jul 08, 2021 3:35 pmJust piddling around today, waiting for the kit and jets to arrive for my Holley double-pumper. Installed the proper air cleaner decal and dome light lens. Still not certain about total displacement but after purchasing a pen light and small inspection mirror, I found the casting number on the block. It is for '91 5.0L H.O. The crank pulley, snout bolt and balancer also confirm 5.0L H.O. Got in touch with the PO and he said he had the build sheet but has never produced it. My bore scope has come in handy and will purchase a dial indicator before next oil change to check the cam profile. And yes, the decal is probably '68 J code stuff but it fits the bill.

Works better than GumOut in my engine.
