    New garage

    I'd suggest using radient heat in the slab. Definatly a W/C if your already plumbing it its only a few $$ more for the convience of not having to run to house, and hearing about the greasy fingerprints on the door.

    Low tech vehicle approach

    One thing to consider with the Bronco sitting at the curb, average over 5K lbs. The 302s work HARD to move that heft. Add in towing and the 302s are out of their league With the mileage you stated it may be possible that the Bronco came with 4:09/4:11 gears. Most were 3.55/3.50, but the...

    Dimmers for Dash Lights

    Pontiac Grand Ams 92-95 and IIRC the entire GM N body line used the Thumb wheels for dimmers. The non fog light cars had only the thumb wheel in the snap panel, the fog light optioned cars have a rocker switch in the same snap panel. I would suggest pulling a clean used one, over getting a...

    BB Ford to Porsche G50/52... HELP!

    On the 351M/400s did you have the Block checked before machining? They tend to have an issue with core shift in a few of the early blocks. Other primary concern with them is the abysmal oiling system and its associated accelerated wear on the main bearings. It’s not uncommon for the mains...

    Electronic/electric control for accelerator

    The new Ford F150 will have fly by wire and the GM 8L Crate Engine is setup for fly by wire as well. I haven't had the opportunity to look in to other Models too closely, but the throttle cable as we know it is fading away quite quickly from OEM use. Jim
