Sorry to hear of all the misfortune with you guys,, as a cancer survivor myself, I know its hard for us to go out of here with all the parts we came in with. Get healthy first,, that's the main thing,,, the build can come later. I'll look forward to it next year,, take care.

Spent Sunday tearing down a junkyard 302. Pretty much have a boat anchor, which didn't surprize me. All I really expected to yield from it was the intake anyway. That's the gamble with salvage stuff. Back to scrounging.

John, sent you a PM. Will try and get in contact with you this evening. This project just might get off the ground yet, LOL!

Thanks,

A small bit of progress. Finally cleared enough crap out of the garage to put the Mustang II inside. Have acquired a few pieces to start with. Hadn't planned on this but came up with a small aluminum fuel cell. Also have a good Holley electric pump and regulator. We now have the correct heads and intake for a 1978 FFFord 302. Thanks to John Presing, we have a set of Mustang 2 Hooker headers.

Also have the 4.62 8" gears and a mini spool. Stumbled across a guy in Louisville that had two good 8" carriers. Start working on the rear. Have a set of old "universal" Lakewood trac bars. Still studying on these, believe I have a method to make them functional. Going to take a little work and fabbing.

Still a long ways off but maybe we can get this gift motor car off the ground.

Are mini-spools legal?

Yes ,but all spools must have aftermarket axles with them.

I took a pair of the universal slappers and welded them to an extra pair of spring plates so they are like the better bars.
