    Just wondering....

    It's none of my business, but if I could make a suggestion (and you've probably already planned on it). You might think on using another oil filter besides fram. I personally like Motorcraft. If you've ever seen the inside of a fram vs. a motorcraft filter, you'll know exactly what I mean. Like I said, I don't mean anything, it's just a suggestion. BTW- That thing looks awesome, and I got my chrome covers like those in today!!! Country

    Yea guys...it is goin pretty qwik for the most part, the reason for that is I can put anywhere from 1-4 men on it at any given time....while we are not certified auto mechanics by any stretch of the imagination, we are all Master HVAC techs so we have some mechanical aptitude. The car gets nothing done to it unless Im present and ok it.
    Which brings me to my post in the Technical forum, if you'd care to take a look maybe someone can offer some suggestions or help. Im stumped short of fabricating something and I'd rather not do that unless absolutely necesarry...and making it a toploader is not an option...I want to keep it original as possible short of the engine swap:confused:
