    Hey Rick,
    Last fall, I did some clutch work. I took the car out and really beat it up to make sure the clutch was going to work out well. When I got home, I noticed a mark on the left side pipe where the engine had torqued over, allowing the header to contact the body.

    Sure enough, the tab that's welded to the frame where the motor mount bolts up had broken. The weld failed. Not Shell Valley's fault. When I installed the engine, I had to cut that tab off and re-weld it. It was my weld that failed, not theirs. No way to get to it without pulling the motor, so I'm doing some cleanup under the hood and putting on new valve seals while the engine is out.

    I'm registered for LCS. That ought to get me going on re-assembly. See you there.

    Mike

    I agree with your parts choices. 390 went into pick up trucks well beyond all the other FEs, and some are still running. It's getting harder, but they can still be found fairly easily. 427's are...

    Ok I'm a bit skeptical here. Shelby American registered the trade mark name "Cobra." AC Cars never owned the trade mark "Cobra." Ford later purchased the "Cobra" trade mark name and used it for...

    You need voltage to make a spark jump across air. The higher the voltage the more powerful the spark, and the longer distance it can jump. You start adding things to the air, like fuel, you need...

    In my opinion the OPs pictures do not look like the Bennet pictures in the link. The nose of the Bennet is kind of octagon shaped. In other words, there is a 45^ piece of tubing in the corners. ...

    A little harsh, but elements of truth at every point. I hate kicking a man when asked for help, but I really fear he may have purchased something awful, in terms of safety and a money pit. However...
