Default Re: U/SA 302 ffffford build

Sooooo.....
1) Got my springs/retainers/locks, but my lifters still haven't come in.
2) Tried to put on collectors and the four sets of heeaders I have, the ones installed have an odd ball size collector flange.
3) bought new plugs but even though the machine shows them for a 79-93 mustang...they're the wrong ones. I even thought to run them but after sticking them in a head and looking in the chamber? Umm, nope can't use them.
4) Got the car painted...it's very apparent I'm a mechanic and not a painter! LOL! I think I should of painted it orange there's so much peel!
5) I'm buying slicks from a local Stocker guy and tried to get tubes...nope, a month out. I have a partial solution, we'll see...
6) I haven't pulled the engine to confirm 24 or 26 spline converter (Put it in, in 1993 and don't remember what I ordered, I just know it's a truck, pan fill c4) so until then, I'll be running the 2800 stall bracket converter.

So it looks like I'll be going to a bracket race this weekend with wrong cam/heads/intake/converter, no collectors......this will be a "first time since 1997 it's been on the track" so I have zero expectations, just get it on the track. Make a few passes and look for bugs to work out.
Here's some pic's of the mess.
