Default Re: U/SA 302 ffffford build

I have eye surgery Monday AM so everything will be on hold for a bit, however....

Just received a new electric water pump, picked up a new fan belt, bought a new timing light and have the following "to do" after this weekend.

1) Shifter, mill and install a new shift gate

2) Replace fan belt

3) check rear axle vent to see if plugged

4) Repair/replace headers as one collector flange cracked 1/2 way

5) Hook up second fan on rad

6) Swap bolts around in the bellhousing (found one tight from being bottomed out, couldn't see it from below).

7) check/adjust timing as well as limit total mechanical advance

8) Find clunk in upper right control arm (just noticed) Between the arm and body, not housing. Rocking in park has a clunk so either upper hole is elongated or something bad is happening to the new adjustable arm or I need to install battle boxes to secure the upper mount points. Either way....something!

9) get new lettering for windows. I gave the guy dimensions 3" x 1" as per the rule book and he gave me 1" tall by 3" long "U/SA" and "103" lettering.

At some point need to replace the front tires/rims with front skinnies as well as 4cyl springs and 90/10 shocks.

Never ends does it.....LOL!
