Jerry,

Yep...I turned the heat down so I can use the cold as an excuse to be lazy. If I get any worse I'll have to pay someone to finish the car...

Well if you stay lazy, maybe I can borrow the parts I need to take that yellow thing to run n gun----they already have the pictures

As far as fitment issues. Is the Dart block and my production block (1994 vintage F4TE) stamping have the same external bolt holes. I wasn't sure if I would have fitment problems with dropping in the dart in my SPF and have everthing bolt-up exactly as my stock block. When did Ford start making a roller block. My SPF was pre-owned, I'm not sure if I have a roller block. I believe it was right around 1994 when Ford introduced the roller block.

That's about right...whenever they brought out the Lightening truck.

And no...you shouldn't have any fitment problems...although I made brackets to move the Alternator down and in...but that's not the block's fault.
