Another piece to add to the project. We are cleaning up the front of the motors, power steering, alternator, and external oil pump brackets. The ones before were a little hookie. We findly located some one piece oil pump and alternator brackets. This only took 6 weeks, LOL, SWEEEEEET. They need cleaned up and pollished. Bob

Those look sorta like disk brake calipers. Your not tricking me are you? I wish I had disk brakes that morning at 03:00. I was drunker than Dick was when Haddie died. I was intering my stall at the docks when one engine died on my twin screw. I got crooked and crashed my 24000# cruiser into the dock. I woke every swinging dick up that morning and called numerious names. I told them my brakes weren't working.

Front end update. Brackets for sea pumps, alternator brackets and oil pump mounts. The wooden pieces will be 3/4 billet mounted to heads and block. Then the sea pump on left will mount directly to that, and the alternator and oil pumps will be mounted to one mount then to 3/4 billet piece. Check out the Danny Bee belt drive. Bob

Danny Bee belt drive is sweet. A little pricey but like Grandpaw always said, "Go first class son and don't look back".

Jason. Cometic with 18- 5/8" ARP head studs. Unlike the Gm 1/2" studs, FORD uses 5/8" + the 18, i think we will be ok.
