    Established my pushrod length, bought a whole bunch of grade 8 bolts at tractor supply (cheap as dirt), purchased a set of TFS roller rockers, a new Ford aluminum oil pump and a new Summit balancer.

    Mine made noise and moved under it's own power for first time in approx 15 months...

    Woo hoo... :D

    Only issue was the dist was a tooth off, so it popped back and singed about half the hair on my left forearm... Then once running it was leaking P/S fluid, as I forgot to sung the two piece pressure line in the center... P/S seems to be fine, yet to get it on street...

    Don't pay any attention to those universal plug wires, I'll get a set of Ford Racing wires and cut a custom set that fit properly over the loom bracket in center of valve covers...

    Went to Summit and bought an engine cradle and a set of TFS pushrods. Started painting engine parts.

    After getting pulled over for a head light being out that I didn't know about. Well I had to put in new head light buckets.

    Oh....and a sweet gas cap.

    And I landed an engine today. Unfortunately, it is not looking as good as Krazy Comet's yet, but I'm working on it. It will have to come back out for headers and a tranny etc. But it looks better in the engine bay than on the floor!
