Great idea on the air cleaner. It looks like a factory hipo of some sort.
I don't get as much done as most of you guys but I did get my TH400 kickdown switch bracket made tonight.
The details are in this thread.

Very slick, Tom!
I got a few good days in; got my motor mounts and crossmember made and tacked it. On the crossmember I cut some 1/4 steel plate, welded some bolts to it and drilled some holes in the floor board for the bolts to come through. Then I bolted the crossmember in from underneath. The plates should support it, I think. the crossmember is made from 3/8 steel bar; it was a door actuator arm from a freight elevator. Also started patching the firewall and tunnel back it. the firewall center is recessed back 6" for clearance and I'm using 16 gauge to build the tunnnel.

Looking also at the room looks like you have about as much as the A for exhaust room . Have you got a combo in the works yet for it ,

I tried ram horn manifolds but no go. I ordered a set of Speedway block hugger headers, we'll see what happens when they get here.

I'm not too well informed on what Ford offers, Bobby. Somebody mentioned Sandersons; they probably make something but they're a little pricier than plain jane headers. Good news, I got the Speedway blockhuggers in the mail yesterday and it looks like they're going to do the trick after some slight modification. $59.00, you cant go wrong.

Cheap enough at $59 when it says Ford it still pricey . So far $100 plus for what I have found been looking at the swaps but mostly Chevy stuff at all of them its so popular .

Trans tunnel is about 95% done except for around the steering column; I need to work out the steering shaft/exhaust clearance but it's getting there. I trashed the old steering shaft idea and bought a shaft and a couple u-joints from Speedway so i can have a smaller diameter shaft. It's better but not there yet. As soon as it's right I'll pull the motor back out, finish weld the mounts and firewall, and paint the engine compartment. I also had to raise the shifter an inch to clear the trans but it's finished and working.

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
