My 460 is not installed yet , just an inexpensive way to control the air flow with a shroud.

Re: I sure wish California wasn't 2300 miles away

The toilet and shower are one area , would look similar to a porta john , but add a toilet seat and a shower head and a sink if there's room.

Re: Anybody put their radio in the glovebox?

I have an uncut dash I'd sell , I was going to repaint it , hang it on the wall and display diecast F100's on the dash. I've had it two years and it's still in the rafters of my garage.

Re: Transmission identification question

I'm going to look at it on Saturday , All I know is it's a 2wd 78 F150 , the guy knows nothing about it because it was given to him. He thinks the motor is a small block , I know a 460 has 7 bolts on each valve cover , how can you tell a 360 from a 390 ?
I'm learning , I'm learning Banjo ! lol
