...and the same to you. Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!
Best Wishes for a great trip! Lou Manglass
I believe we saw that car at Amelia Island a few years ago. It was spectacular to see in person! As interesting as the story behind it.
Happy Holidays everyone!
I was gong to ask what car you took but, then, there it was! Congratulations! Enjoyed the pictures.
Work of art. I see a lot of hours in that crankshaft! Lou Manglass
Is that torque plate something that's available or something you made for yourself? Lou Manglass
WOW!
My wish list car if I ever win the lottery. If you haven't, check out the SAE paper:...
Made me take a second look. Sure looks like it!
Happy Anniversary!
Here's what I have planned for my 58 F-100. https://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm?ptype=product&product_id=83&category_id=133&mode=prod It fits in...
As far as I know, only the 215, 223, 262 engines shared bellhousings. I have never heard of the 260, early 289 having the same bolt pattern...
Congratulations!

Congratulations! Lou Manglass

I rebuilt my '58 F-100 before any reproduction parts were available except for a few, poor fitting, patch panels. That truck is built from...
No hard parts, but I got a copy of the latest printing of Pat Ganahl's book "Ford Performance." Lou Manglass
Merry Christmas!
Merry Chistmas! Lou Manglass
If you can't get that clutch bled, you might try a Phoenix reverse injection bleeder. They are a bit of a pain to use but it should work well on a...
It's been a while for me but not this year. I've walked my feet off (I spent a lot of time at AAPEX too), been "wined and dined" by suppliers, and...
Was that at the Farmer's Market?
Are you sure the van didn't have a 351? That's about the difference in deck height between the two. Lou Manglass
I remember it well, two OT vehicles at "the flats." The Poncho convertible had a larger engine but weighed more than my SBF pony car. I had just...
