The cap n paint project isnt until this winter. I will probably have Sam do it since its heritage lays with him.

So I picked up a Pump....so that's taken care of.

I pulled off the cover yesterday and assessed the situation....

All the cables still move freely. The Stringers are 24" wide and I have a 25.5" wide rail kit I had in the liberty before I custom made the one I have now. I can trim that down to work. The trailer is on blocks (long story). I might just swap the wheels off the liberty since its not goin anywhere anytime soon.

The motor thats going in this needs new bearings, gaskets, etc. I also need an oil pump. I will probably just run a front sump pan for now and use the ignition and stuff from the race motor. The only thing I might need is a Carb. I only have the 1250cfm quickfuel carb from the race boat. I think thats a little too much carb for a 460ci motor lol.

I have 2 carbs in my garage sale Brad, don't know if they will work for you

Well I got the motor together and got it mounted as well as the pump installed. I still have to wire and plumb it as well as hook up the nozzle. Huge thanks to Sean (allfiredup) and his wife (Heather77) for their help and support this weekend to make all this progress.

So I dropped a intake valve in #6. The valve stem broke off and shot up through the intake manifold and dropped down into #3 and got stuck in the intake valve on that cylinder. No major damage to the short block. Just a little beat up. Since this a redneck build, I'm going to keep that theme going.

I'm going to smooth out the top of #6 (yes while still in the cylinder!) And have my aluminum heads from the race boat gone through (bent a valve during the last failure) and slap them on this motor.

Are the race heads going to mesh with this motor? I thought those heads were cut big? Is it worth the risk of hurting the race heads with this scabbed short block? Not criticizing at all I just know you'd be super bummed if those aluminum heads got f-ed up. Either way I'm super stoked to see you with a boat in the water and also that's its Sam's old Dana. That things BA.

actually ralph told me to run these heads originally on this build. its running the race boat's cam, lifters, push rods, and rockers. these pistons have more of a dish then the ones i ran previously with these heads so i dont have to worry about clearance.

i wouldnt jump to say its mumbo jumbo... we're talking the Dana here, that was the race boat. If you noticed of the list of parts i just spit off, I dont have much left to use to build another FORD race motor.
