Rick, I noticed torque plates on your block, are you doing your own machine work? By the way, that is one sweet lookin engine. I called ff today they are loading my car, Stewart had two trucks there. Jay told me mine was first on the truck, last to be delivered. Can't wait.....

Machine work was done locally by a friend of mine that has been doing Ford stuff for 30 years. I bet I saw your roadster on the rack last Friday while I was there. Jolene said yesterday mine would be picked up Thursday and sent to Phoenix before going on the West coast crane truck. maybe it snuck on today's load. Where are you located?

stacked like cord wood. A truck was there last Thursday and took 6 cars away

Had a little time the past few days to install the intake which is a an original 1965 S1MS-9424A Cobra Intake and sort out the pulley mess. Trying to stay close to original look I couldn't find any combination to fit 1965 pulleys to the late model driver side inlet water pump. Going to paint these aluminum pulley black to match the Hipo Alternator pulley. Will see how the Holley 750 DP Mech Sec. runs on the chassis dyno, may need to down size. Couple more evenings and will have the engine done and pushed to side with the rearend and transmission.
