37 Ford build--IE: old Header issues thread /37 Ford/5.0/GT40P heads

I do need to look at them - you really don't want to know what I have in those purty Glides Maybe a bit more then an offbeat intake manifold, but.....

That's too funny!
But, no... I ain't asking you to trade'em for a manifold!

Well just a bit ago I hit the BIN button on a set of GT40P heads that are rebuilt . Specs show they out flow the GT40 heads by a small amount . Good price with shipping , considering buying a used set and having them gone threw I saved a few hundred easy . When I get them I will post a pic since there is no linking .

Hey Bobby, congrats on the heads. As you probably know, I have GT40P heads on mine but I still haven't got to try them out yet. Look forward to hearing how you like them....

Bobby - Great heads - that is but for some minor details. Sanderson to my knowledge makes the only header(FF1 - http://www.sandersonheaders.com/Sand...eader-Set.html and make sure you see their note about GT40P heads) that fits that allows you to remove the spark plugs and second, you need small head 3/8" bolts (ARP socket head - good or 12 point - better). If you use gaskets then these will work:http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EAR-29D03AERL/

Mine with 1.7 Crane roller rockers - and some new black steaks in the road......

Alright Bobby! Very cool! And again we have reference to some new marks around Dave's neck of the woods.. But no PIC's!!! Or should we say "evidence"..

[bluestang67]

These are my second set the first one's if we remember are going on the 351 . I go on vacation next week for 2 weeks hopeful should hear the 302 in the 31 run . There will be a vid .




Funny some times they post and sometimes they only link . slippage .

Do you have clearance in an 'A' with Mustang headers? I bought a set and they ran into the frame on one side and I believe the firewall as well on both sides plus grief for the steering shafting - but then my firewall is modified beyond the usual Brookville setback.

Posting, even Photobucket pictures can be a crapshoot as far a post vs link

[bluestang67]

Dave hoping to get the body back on soon for the floor work . I will recheck the shorties then they clear the frame easy since they don't go that low ., I have moved the engine forward a bit since the last time I checked them on the engine .

It's now insured and registered and had its' first (legal) 10 mile ride today. Now I have a 'punch list' of things to do tho none are very much, but that list of honey do's in my wife's hand will take priority for a while

(I do have to move the rear end forward about an inch - screwed up when I reassembled then forgot - a long senior moment)

ALL RIGHT DAVE! That's GREAT I know I'm setting here (in Delaware right now) grinnin' from ear to ear, I can imagine how happy you must feel! I am so envious!

WooHOOOO! Congrats, Dave! I'm thinking if you put the wife in the passenger seat she might forget all about the honey-do list!

I see what you mean about the rearend. Hope that's an easy fix. The car is looking great though!!!!

Thanks guys - It was a blast!!

The worst 'punch list' items are an hour to put (lots) more caster in the front - I used the TCI specs and do need at least 2-3 more degrees to keep the car in a straight line. Moving the rear end forward will take a bit more time. I have at least an inch in the driveshaft yoke. If it needs more, then need to do some surgery on the 4-bars and shorten that shaft. I might even raise the rear another notch at the same time. Regardless, I'll still do as much as possible and if not enough, it will become a winter project so I can drive it this summer. The rest - for the most part, 'nigglers' and a day without honey do's

Then - there are the seats. No one said it would be easy(inexpensive)

And no one ever said it would it would be finished!

The only time a hobby car is finished is when it goes down the road with a new owner - then you get to start all over
