Hi Matt
Great pics and write-up.
Any reason you don't install the starter before the engine goes back in? Thought it would be easier doing it that way.
How did venolia go with matching the pistons (you needed two newies didn't you?).
Cheers
Jacko
Cant recall about the pistons and rings...after 3 days chasing the F#@kers , Angelo took over and sorted it for me.
As for starter...we were just to busy chasing the important stuff that we didnt get the starter in time...no biggy as we will fit it when we get some time on the lift to fit the exhaust and Z bar...all that stuff
As for the heads having to be swapped.....after inspecting this boss
http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.513469452012280.133387.100000476899783&type=3We realised that the open threaded head should have had a screw in welsh plug in its place and the bracket fits up in a different position. Had 2 Boss 302 gurus look at it prior us pullin those heads and they were stumped also. Its not everyday you rebuild a B2 motor so its no biggy....cant be expected to know everything about every motor ford built but....unless ya have a go, you will never learn
We just got back from a week on the road and while I was away, I called into Gregs house (the guy I bought the K code GT Im building)
http://www.facebook.com/ShelbyGTK950R?ref=hlHe works at Ford for the past 35 years and his shed is full of brand new NOS ford parts...not just cra9....were talkin Shelby, Boss, K code....all high end stuff....brand new gear boxes, carbies, distributors, EVERYTHING
I managed to buy 2 brand new shelby GT350 carbies...still in plastic and the box, a brand new K code 63-5 water pump....the early alloy one, and a boss 302 distributor that is date code correct for Mark
Even though we just built a dummie 68 one...we now have the real deal
So its off to the office today to get back to fabricating those illusive (physically impossible) twin turbo headers for the K code and all newt week were back on the boss and another Eleanor that needs to be finished
Keep you posted
Matt
