hey Fidget. NICE looking ride! I am considering bagging my 57. What kind did you use?

I know this is Irritating. There is an all Ford yard here that will be closing soon. And I know a woman who's husbands family has a yard that they closed in the 80's. I cannot get in! it is so irritating. Because I know the family has been talking about scraping everything out.

Well I JUST looked at my trans and it is definatly an MX So if all goes well, everything should just bolt in.

Good to know. Thanks Blue Blood!

No opinion here, I can always find it cheaper somewhere else. Even with their sale prices.

I have a 390 I just got all my parts for, so I will be getting ready for the swap soon... I have a 57 Fairlane with the y block 292. I went ahead and purchased a 68 Galaxie 500 pulled the engine and trans and sold the car. I plan on using my original Y block motor mounts (heard they will work...

"strings" I hate that. I have come across that my self, yeah sure you can have it. Make plans, take time out to get it done. Time comes and all this NEW stuff comes up. I am like WTF? No, you can keep your **** then. Sorry to hear about it. A 460 would have been nice. I am currently putting a...

You should just send it my way, I will pay for shipping

Going on the GPS route, I had heard a poor mans lo-jack is a pre paid cell phone wired in somewhere hidden. Phone you buy must have gps capabilities though. Thought that was a good idea

I think there is more to this story. We seem to be only getting bits and pieces

Watch where you park? So someone opened your hood, pulled the filler cap off to do this??

THATS how the rings looked??? Wow

I dont know. I have an Ignitor or Ignitor II. I know its not the III. Two years on my old 292 with Ballast resistor and an AutoZone coil. Not ONE problem. I plan on putting it in my new 292

I have seen rusted out sh!tboxes sell for $3000 that I see no usable parts in. BECAUSE it is a skyliner.

This is the thread Frankenstein was talking about. http://57fordsforever.com/smf/index.php?topic=3627.0

Thanks for the ideas guys!

those are good ideas, thanks! As far as removing the old road draft tube, is there a block off plate there or do I find some stock and make one? And the valley cover, is it easier finding a valley cover with one done in a junk yard or modifying mine? And are pcv's typical or do I need a certain one?

That is what I thought. Thank you. Anything I should know about it? My old 292, 1960 replacement code didn't have one

I have installed my new 292, but noticed something was differant about it. I have looked up the block ID and it says a 58-59 292. But there is some type of black "breather" looking thing on the drivers side, just forward of the oil filter. Can anyone tell me what this is? I do not have a pic, I...

I personally think it is because type A is an obsolete fluid. Meaning GM and Ford both used type A back in the day and over the years have each made their own type per their own recommendations. So instead of having 10 different types on the auto store shelves, It just became what it is now. At...
