That'd be a great build. A bandwagon build but definitely cheaper and easier than say a GM 6.0L with it's fuel injection. That'd be my dream build

Hmmmm, maybe. I tried the IH logo off of my dad's old 66 Scout but it didn't sit right in the old logo holes. But yeah, I might have to do that. My aunt sure would get a kick out of it lol

Finished my VC gasket today. The PO replacde it with pure silicon Oh well, now it's got a cork gasket.
Fram is taking it's vengeance on me for dropping them. The damn thing is mangled to hell but still won't budge. I got pissed so I left before I broke something.
On a lighter note, I found my AC leak and tightened it up. Hopefully it will hold a charge this summer.

Tomorrow, HEADER TIME!

I made a JY run today. I had to get a bracket to hold my kickdown cable in place so I can have all four gears.
