Thanks Don, I just renewed. They say the first thing that goes when you get old is the memory and I forget what the second thing is. Lee
Don, I don't seem to have gotten my Shorthorns either. Do I need to pay my dues too? Lee "THE MAV" Richart
That sounds like a lot to be off. First be sure you are measuring it properly. Have you swapped the rear end? I know when I switched to my 9 inch,...
I have done a couple of these swaps and I will bet that a 351W will not fit unless you have modified the spring towers. Lee
If indeed it is a 1971, it should have an 8". All you have to change to get five lug wheels are the axles and brake drums. Lee "THE MAV" Richart
I am planning to be there with "THE MAV". I would say it is a little better than 50/50 right now. Lee Richart

I have run Mobil One for over 20 years and highly recommend it.
My son's Comet is running a 5.0 with a few tweaks and an AOD with a 3.80 gear. It is a very nice combination with good performance and economy. I...
The Ford additive is designed for the Tractionlok and should not make it slip. I know mine doesn't. Lee "THE MAV" Richart
If you have a Tractionlok, it will make clunking noises at low speeds on turns. Get some additive from a Ford dealer and it will fix it right up....
I have them on my car and even though I only race about once a year, they took .2 off my 60 foot time. I would definitely recommend them.
But when he said 1995, that means 4.6 modular motor and he will have to remove the spring towers. Lee "THE MAV" Richart:thumbs2::Welcome:
I think they both look good. Just use your personal preference. Lee "THE MAV" Richart:2thumbs:
Let me start by saying there is no substitute for cubic inches period. The main issue you will have with the 351 is header clearance. Tubular...
