Ford guys / Hot Rodders & Keeping busy....

Thought I'd post a picture of two 302 intakes.
Been in my shop every day since Feb 19.
Working on stuff....for three 1972 Pintos !

This shot is only two of three steering columns I've restored & did a cable delete on. U-Joints from Flaming River & 3/4" cold rolled steel bar.

[Reeves1]

New instrument panel.Heater & radio delete plates.

Not finished yet. Have to get the new GPS speedo then I can sand / paint.
The two small upper red lights are from an old truck !
Same for the lower green ones.
Likely had them for 30+ years !
Glass is prism like a spiders eyes.
Dash is ready to go to the radiator shop for an acid dip & POR 15 coat, paint etc.

Is the one on the right an original Boss 302 intake?

Yes. Huge difference eh !
Sold that one. I'm running a Bud Moore Mini Plenum

For 302w engines I have two of the C90X 9424 B intakes, from the old Ford Performance program.
They flow better than any new / modern equivalent.

Also been working on moving the engine back farther.
This is just a mock up engine & not the one that will be in it. Sort of the same though. 302w. I have a "normal" aluminum bell on it right now & cannot get the engine back as far as I want with it. Need to get a Quicktime bell number 6065 to bolt up to a T-5. https://www.holley.com/products/driv.../parts/RM-6065
Lots of head scratching to do a V8 in these little cars...
It will have a front engine plate & I'll make my own cross over Headers for this one.
More fire wall to cut, but not till I get the new bell housing.

You should see the little baby driveshaft I have in my car. It's about 2' long, I'll see if I can find a picture...
