| RE: Comp 282S |

I'm glad to hear that you're pleased with your Comp 272S. I chose the Comp 282S for my 427 along with Comps matching springs. I've decided to run the shell lifters (these are Crower but I think they're all made by the same mystery company somewhere?) instead of the normal dumb bell style that Ford mostly used, the ones that Comp included with their kit.
And as of last Sunday, the 427 is actually bolted into the frame of my '60. The Hayes clutch is in. Bell housing and T-85 maybe later today or tomorrow. These are big fun steps for me in this over three year process so far.
I had the water pump mounted and it turned out to be wrong! My FE parts friend ordered me a pump for '61 - '64. There is a difference from the '58 - '60 water pump. It's in shaft length and spacing of the back side plate. I could have lived with and adjusted for the short shaft of the '61/'64 pump but I couldn't live with the back plate rubbng against the one year only steel/tin 1960 352 HP timing cover. Trying to find that timing cover would be like the fun and success I've had in locating a 1960 HP air cleaner.
