So I haven't been that active here lately, sorry. I do have a lot going on. Some Mustang related.
My company has decided to "sunset" the company car program.
So I bought a 99 Lightning, perfect right?!?! Nope. They get horrible mpg. But it's a lot more fun to drive!
My wife's 07 Mustang with a 4.0 V6 and less than 98K miles breaks a timing chain and I suspect bent all the valves. Cranks over like it has no compression. The engine has to come out because the the passenger chain is in the rear of the engine.
I have a 72 Chevy Cheyenne Super (C10). It's pretty much worn out. So I bought an 03 GMC for the 5.3 and four speed auto to put in the 72. Might be doing that sooner than later...
The 68 Road Runner made Hot Rod magazine! Still more to do but I need to get it out of the garage so I can fix my junk!
My sons have several projects going also. Helping youngest swap a V8 in his Bobcat (Pinto) wagon. Just rebuilt the 8.8 in his daily driver p71 with over 300K and we have a cruiser Pinto wagon parts car for the Bobcat
My middle son has his 04 Mach1 with a Termi motor. Still some bugs with the tune to sort out. It's just sitting in my driveway. But he is thinking of a big bad pushrod motor swap now!
My oldest son has a couple projects too. I inherited my parents 92 T-Bird, daily drove, swapped a V8 in it, etc. Gave it to him, he drove it forever but it is rusting badly! So he found a $500 92 T-Bird from the South and no rust. the 3.8 needs heads. So we are swapping the 5.0 over.
Anyway, lots goin on!
