Parts came in from O'Reilly's.
Thanks, Bud!!
We decided to do the engine right...the first time.
Starting with a stainless bolt kit. Expect to end up at the beach some day.
Need the car to be corrosion proof.

| Aluminum needle bearing rocker arms. |
 |
| Don't want to overdo the Cobra thing. But still want to make sure you know what left you standing at the light......ha! |
 |
| We got a matched and dyno tested aluminum head and intake set by Edelbrock. This will save a lot of time on the engine build. Purchased from Summit Racing. |
 |
| Will be naturally aspirated. |
 |
| This should shave about 80 pounds off the engine weight. |
 |
| The problem then became, what to do with the front end. Have you seen a 1992 351W from a F-150? Can you say, "Frankenstein"? After a beer or two, we decided to install a serpentine belt system form Vintage Air. |
 |
| Pulleys are black aluminum and powder coated. |
 |
| Check this out! |
 |
| The housing is billet aluminum and is one piece. Not only does it have integrated brackets for the alternator, power steering and a/c compressor, it came with all the accessories, including the water pump. The front end is gonna be clean. |
