@@jdrods1519 an Elgjn E-1836-P. .542/.563 286/299 112LSA. I got it on sale for $195 last year.

@@KrisGreenhill awesome!!! Thanks man!

​​@@KrisGreenhillhow do you know what cam the engine wants🤔? Did you degree the cam?

@@jdrods1519 thanks

@lynnrunningdeer7364 we cleaned the gun repeatedly. Everything we can. Something in the internal valve was shot. It would only spit paint or barely mist it. He had to be that close to apply any paint. We will be investing in our own paint gun soon.

@@lynnrunningdeer7364 that hasn't happened around here in weeks. And probably won't for a while. We put this off for over a month.

@@KrisGreenhill I know exactly what you're talking about. It rained off and on for two days and it was if it hadn't.

@@lynnrunningdeer7364 a 12x3 is way too long to do any good on this surface. We used 4x3 flat blocks.

@@KrisGreenhill it's realitilvty long hood. Having a longer block cuts down on unnecessary movement. Unless you're using this a gym exercise and in no hurry to finish🤷‍♀️. Work smarter not harder😅.

@oh4stang612 thanks.

Thank you.

@kindercarcaredetailing4768 I would too. But he really wants to paint it. Right now, it's down due to an electrical short. Once it's running again we need to do some minor suspension work. But he really wants to make it look good inside and out.

@KrisGreenhill I'm getting ready to start on my own little project I've had alittle over a year and a half, '92 5.0 (ProjectGirl) and been buying a bunch of diagnostic equipment/tools because I suck at electrical issues. I went and got me a power probe Short/open circuit finder part# PPECT3000, Lord what a time saver!! You can find a short/open circuit within minutes instead of hours, days and weeks. Also check on Lisle Relay Pro part# 60150. Helps you figure out if your 4 or 5 pin relays are good or bad withing 10 seconds. As well as a Cal-Van AMP HOUND2. part# 72: helps you find out where your find out if you have a parasitic draw draining your battery by Che king your fuses. And a little INNOVA OBD1 code reader for 1981-1995 Ford vehicles. These 4 diagnostic equipment/tools helps and makes me look like I k ow what I'm doing. 😆 Go check out the videos on UA-cam on what they are and the simplestity of using them to help you quickly find out what's wrong so you can fix it and get it back on the road instead of wasting hours, days and weeks trying to figure out what's wrong. Followed you so I can keep up with how things are going and what you and your son are doing to that little Fox!!

@@craigj.m351stang9 thank you

@VGHCX well, I'm sure that like all fpxbodies, PWT will spend most of its life on a trailer, so......

@lynnrunningdeer7364 That's a great deal. There definitely aren't any deals like that around here. The market has gone as crazy as our economy in the last year around here. Today, there's an ad for the same heads by themselves for $1,600, used. They're usually at least $1,500 used. And they're only $1,700 new. Old GT40X heads are over $1,000. Even though I already have heads, I'd jump on a deal like that just to have it for that price.

@@KrisGreenhill this was years ago before the car was stolen🤬.

@lynnrunningdeer7364 that makes a lot more sense. There just aren't many deals these days. I'd say that if we adjust for inflation, I got the better deal. 😆

@@KrisGreenhill like I said I got a lot more than you😅. You got from the heads up. Oh yeah I forgot the March underdrive crank pulley and sub frame connectors😁. Which I might still have🤷‍♀️. I know for a fact that I still have the BBK cat H pipe. Also there is no such thing as inflation. It's corporate greed and everyone is taking an advantage of it while not knowing why or they don't care. Something else that has driven the prices up are all the car movies😡. Then there's these car dealerships that go out and suck up what we use to get for maybe $2,500. Clean them up put a paint job on it then try to sell for more than it was originally new😡. Ebay is full of them. I take it that you have push rod checker? I would do that before fly cutting the pistons.

@jdrods1519 that will look good. I was looking at a lot of different wheels, including 10-holes. But even factory 15x7 10-holes are going for more than these. Apparently, my old turbines are worth their weight in gold now. I may have to sell them to fund some Welds or something.

Thank you. The more I think about it, the better I think the deal was. We are getting excited go hear what it sounds like and see how it runs.

@KrisGreenhill we always get excited and anxious to see how the engines going to run and sound so I'm right with you there

I'm sure I'd love the intake if I was going EFI, but I'm a carburetor convert now. I'd probably try to use the EFI again if I hadn't gotten rid of my gas tank and fuel lines.

Yes sir, that's the main idea.

Yes sir, I tried. But I didn't have the correct size. All we had was tubing that was too big and it kept falling off. I was too lazy to go get more.

Possibly. I can't recall. Most of mine were black...... from oil leaks. 😁

Yes he is.

We don't have anything to go on other than the butt-dyno, but it feels completely different. I imagine that if it had tires and traction, we would've increased all of our times through the 1/8 mile. More importantly, for this car, it gained more street ability.

Thank you.

They are the correct header. They're Mac headers for a foxbody. I've run several pair just like them. The leak is at the collector and the h-pipe. I can live with it. It isn't anywhere near as bad as before.

@@KrisGreenhill you specifically said that you had to fight with the one because the bolt hole was off. Now on to why they put the studs there. They give you alignment and you only need one hand to put the nuts on. After the first thread you can let go. Also if I seen correctly the thing to have done was put a bolt in the two ends and drop the gasket in from the top. After using the Mr. Gasket hedder lock washers never once did I have problems or had to go back and re-tighten them.

@lynnrunningdeer7364 yes, the bolt hole was off, from 30+ years of expansion and contraction. Just like several other pairs I've dealt with over the years. These were just worse than most. But they are factually the correct header, which is why the driver side went on in seconds. As for the stud, they did not come from the factory with them. They are meant for bolts, which it why only 1 side had studs. The studs make it difficult to line up the headers with the h-pipe on the car.

@@KrisGreenhill I've never encountered this ever and neither has anyone I know. I can ask a friend if he still has the factory hedders and the H pipe with Cats. My BBK equal flow came with studs and the hedders on my truck have them too. Both have the short version. When I finally put the motor in the truck, the hedders will be built correctly not what's found on the shelf. If they're not tuned then they're not correct. Anyway have fun and good luck.

@lynnrunningdeer7364 odd. I've never met anyone who has installed headers who hasn't run into them expanding or contracting with age and use. I've mever seen a pair that has been used that wasn't at least a little warped. I'm glad that you're able to build completely custom headers rather than buying pre-made headers. Most of us don't have that option. Building them from scratch yourself, inch by inch, is the only way to "tune" headers.

Thank you. Ya, as much as I love doing this stuff, I'd prefer it if the car ran every day for a while. If it can make it a couple of weeks until we swap intakes, I'd be thrilled.

Lock washers and exhaust gaskets won't help. The gasket isn't leaking. It's a crack through the primary that is leaking. There isn't a gasket for that. It has to be welded or replaced.

5th gear pulls smoothly now. It may not be a power gear, but I shouldn't have to downshift to go from 65-75. Before, it was shaking badly. Now it accelerates nicely. I checked the vacuum recently. I think I had 15-16". They are adjustable rockers. I've tried adjusting them and haven't seen any change.

No one has a carburetor I can use. This one is brand new. I have checked for vacuum leaks until I'm blue in the face. If I pull the dipstick from the oil catch can or a vacuum line, the idle goes crazy. Nothing else makes a difference. I agree about the timing, but I don't know why. It's a new harmonic balancer, and it points to TDC. But anything below 18° and it sputters and backfires. I've run up to 22° and it runs better. It doesn't detonate at 22°, but I turned it down anyway and haven't been willing to risk trying more. I'm starting to think I installed the new Cloyes adjustable timing chain to -4° retarded or something. 😕 It's one of the chains with the triamgle and square symbols instead of just saying "TDC/+4/-4." I may have rushed it and not put it straight up. I don't know.

Thank you for watching. We appreciate it.

Yes. I thought they were in there. They weren't. They're buried in the garage somewhere. They'll turn up soon, or else I'll order new ones.

@@KrisGreenhill good luck.

I'm aware. But a low budget is a priority. The specs of this cam were within the range of what I was looking for. That combined with the price, make it perfect. I had a list of cams I was looking for either on sale or used, and this has the same specs as one of them. Jr's car is thrown together with used budget parts, and it makes plenty of power for me. His engine was meant to be my engine. My new engine will be almost the exact same, but with a slightly bigger cam, heads, intake, and carb.

@@KrisGreenhill again. The whole complete engine dictates the cam. Not the other way around. Later I'll send you a link.

@lynnrunningdeer7364 Again, only the budget matters. I'm not spending $550 on a custom cam to make a 12-second 350hp fun car. The cam was the first cam I found, cheap, that fit into the dimensions I wanted. The heads will be the first set of budget 2.02 valve heads I find that I can afford, whether they're iron Windsors or eBay generic aluminums. It isn't going to be raced seriously, and it won't earn me any money.

Thanks. I'm just glad the heater core worked. I really didn't want to take out the dash.
