Nice job Bob! To say the least. Thanks for those links. They're bookmarked on my computer. That's what we've needed.
One note I'd like to add about running the HP shortys in a Ford Pickup. Specifically I'm talking about a '68 F 100 with stock Bendix Integral Power Steering Gear box. There is interference with this gear box and the Left side shorty exhaust manifold. I was in the process of intalling a 428CJ when I ran into this obstacle a few years back. My remedy? I was lucky because I did have the original CJ exhaust manifolds and so I just ran the L side CJ and the fit was perfect. I'd already prepped the frame and had bolted on the right side shorty. A bit odd looking but it ran well.
Now, there are other steering gear units run from '65 on up. I can't remember which one my father in law's '71 had. I did a 390 installation for him and had no problems installing the L side shorty HP manifold. This was a few years before I did the work on my '68. So it was a surprise when I ran into this problem.
Just wanted to let you know about an additional footnote you might want to add.
Again, great job. Suitable for color printing! |
