 Coming along quite well, Billy!!! IMO good plan on the radial tires, bias are like one giant step backwards in handling!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

 Way cool. I know a lot of guys think bias-ply is the only way to go, but they just don't have as good of a feel on a road trip as radials. (JMHO)

 What type of timing cover/water pump/front accessory package is that on the 302? That thing seems HUGE!!! Your dimension from the front of the head to the front of the water pump pulley looks to be at least 50% more than mine, and may be twice! That thing is LOOOOOOONG!Roger 
 Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

 Hey Billy, the little welder, can't see it too clear... Is it a Clark? 220 or 110 volt? I've got to get me a little one, my big Lincoln is just too dang big for a lot of the stuff I do....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
