Could be my old ears heard it wrong. :16suspect 2.5" also sounds huge.
I paid $250 for a 5.0 long block with tin, balancer, distributor, flexplate and timing cover. It would have run but it was ready for a rebuild.
Very interesting. The 4.5" fuel line got me!!
Its not HORRIBLE. Best to have a helper. Everyone should do it ONCE. :D
Had another idea. Maybe the mirror would stay in place if a spring put tension on the ball and socket. Went looking for a spring but didn't find...

Saw the F100 in your gallery. Nice truck! See http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum39/ (if you haven't) for a thread on the CV IFS install....
Yes, I'm thinking a Crown Vic donor would be easy to find and might even be able to use the gauges. '03-'07 CVs have a bolt in aluminum...
I'm thinking about getting a '70 F100 shortbed step side (forget what Ford calls that style) pickup and a '93-'97 Crown Vic donor for front...
Would have expected the U-joints or an axle to go first.
Love these father/son projects. :yup:
