If the trt30 coupon doesn't work try the P20 as it is valid till Dec31 not quite as good but another good option.

Well I got the intake I picked up cleaned up today took it too school and used the blasting cabinet to finish cleaning it up. Depending on weather and time I get home tomorrow gonna try to pull the old one and install this one and the new carb. Also got the Alternator pig tail in the mail today so can finally get the alternator reinstalled with a new belt. If everything goes according to plan I should be in a posistion to see if it will start tomorrow. If only it had brakes and I knew the trans was good I could throw it on the trailer and bring it Saturday if I get it to start tomorrow.

Still parts gathering....Painless harness en-route to Ga. 850.00 shipped from a gentleman on Classic , and quite a few other boxes are awaiting my arrival. I have a nice tailgate and the fiberglass 1/4's in the bed of the truck just waiting to head east. Just got insurance on the 72 so I can get the registration current(overlooked it since 2012 when I came back out to Cali to work) Probably stopping in Nashville to get a good 1/2 cab top. I am taking 6 weeks off so I may get a little done this trip back. I was thinking of rebuilding my 302 but I may just grab a sealed one from Dugan racing near the house. Saves time and that is what is at a premium for me at the moment. I may actually get the 6 point cage I got from "Bart" installed on this trip.
I hope everyone has a safe and blessed Holiday.
I think my rust is rusting...
I can't remember which mistake comes next...

My stable is full again! After 3 years with out a pick up I have gotten another. A 1975 F100 351w, auto, power disk brakes, ps. It was painted 3 years ago and is rust free. Needs a few minor repairs and as you can tell by the pics it needs un pimping. Going back to stock look

Been off of working on Broncos for the past couple of weeks. Had to put a motor in the parts getter. The 2.8L 4 cyl is a piece of crap and very expensive. I found a 2007 2.9L with low miles but was hit hard and had a lot of broken external parts. The 2.8L parts all fit on it and she is back together! Even fabbed up a bracket to attach an electric fan to the radiator and got rid of the bulky and gas robbing mechanical unit.

Yeah, the early 5.0 Explorers had them. I plan to keep it. It is very tight fitting. The front crossmember is kinda in the way but it can work.
