I went and picked my tunnelram up from embee today and i have to say it looks pretty badass...i need some help installing it tho...im gonna order the stainless bolt kit from offyparts.com tomarrow, i have the gaskets, anything else i need? check it out...

also, there are these 'pills or beebees' stuck in some of the thread holes...how do i get those things out?

Reid

That turned out very nice. Congrats

Got it now.... I wasn't fully understanding, by holes, I thought you meant all the way through

Try some dentists tool if nothing else works.

alright, got the bottom half installed today after i got off of work early...i did a little spraypainting to touch some stuff up, then installed the gaskets and intake...whatcha think gentlemen?

Ya for a Ford it looks pretty good, but why would you want a motor that is going to leave you stranded?

« **Reply #32 on:** February 18, 2008, 10:04:21 PM »

Stranded?

That FORD doesn't look stranded to me

« **Reply #33 on:** February 18, 2008, 11:45:06 PM »

that ford sunk and took 1st in a heat the next day.

« **Reply #43 on:** March 19, 2008, 09:17:34 PM »

Prospect-

If you do it local to you, I'll come and help you, if you want to do it here, I've got a cherry picker in my garage. You tell me what you where to be.

« **Reply #44 on:** March 20, 2008, 08:49:47 AM »

this sunday is easter, I gotta do family stuff ...so maybe next sunday the 30th. it should be quick and easy since its the same mounts and everything...no holes to drill or screwing with motor placement.

« **Reply #45 on:** March 20, 2008, 11:06:59 AM »

Next Sunday works for me too, I have the following Monday off so if it went late it wouldn't bother me. Keep me posted Prospect.
