    The LTD has a new seat and carpet. I could not get the new used carpet dyed just the right green but it is a great improvement from before.

    Well I had a good weekend went to Summit for a car show Saturday and won a floor creeper as a door prize. Sunday just drove it around instead of the truck it ran great. Today thought why not drive it to work well on the way home the oil pressure started to act funny and then it started to smoke a little So I guess something let lose not a surprise the motor been sitting for 19 or so years and I knew it was on borrowed time. I wanted to pull the motor so I could repaint it and the engine bay but just not yet. I was about to have my seats done but I guess that is on hold now. Anyway it will be stronger when we finish it was a stout motor already but you know we got to make it better.

    Alright engine guys what can can be done to make a 351c 2v better? It was built 19 or so years ago by my brother so I have no clue what has been done but give me some ideas.

    Spend a little time checking out some of the builds. They go from mild to holy S***:eek:! It all depends on how fast you want to go $$.;)

    Sorry to hear your motor has a problem...is it really that serious?...front spoiler looks good btw. Hmmm make it better without hurting the driveability?? Make it into a roller cam?

    Well the heart of my Ranch is out as of yesterday. Tomorrow my buddy going to tear it down but so far it looks clean. The machine shop going to pick it up tomorrow night. Hopefully I will have it back in time to put it back together and be able to go to Dawsonville.

    Sad to see you had to yank the motor, but it sounds like you're going to build a nice one though:cool:
