[buffs 78 ford]

Still lookin for a motor, That saw is pretty nice though. I ship through UPS all the time I may see what the charges would be through them.

[Salt-Man]

I'll take the saw. Not a problem. I'll buy a motor soon. Just thought it was worth a try and cheapier to ship. Ask'em what it will take to ship the rad to you too if you can. Cant weigh more then 10lbs

[Salt-Man]

Soooo ? How'd ya like that rad I sent ya Brother Buff-O ? Gunna work out good for ya ? Was it or was it not all I said it was ? Its a true 4 core for a v-8 n shouldnt have a spec of decay !

[littlezell]

Buff you still look for a 302?? I thought you had a donor car??? there is several down the road from me... ranging from 300 to 500...and they are running...

[jamesgang]

Buff, is this going to be a 4x4 or 2wd. I was just wondering because of the tranfer case.
I was going to do one back in the 90's. It was a 4x4. I was told back then to use a 302 bell housing & it would bolt up to the ex. transmission.

[Salt-Man]

I know Im not Buff but I believe he has a donor car n its 2 whl drive

[buffs 78 ford]

I have a 89 Lincoln. I have everything to do it now just no time. I am running a AOD with a 9 in out of an early 70s Ford. I work for a guy that has a big junk yard with cars from the 20s all the way up to the 90s. I may need an intake off a 5.0 Mustang since they enter from the passenger side with the throttle body.

[Salt-Man]

I dont have any 5.0 parts or Id give ya one. I would like to hear more on this junkyard tho ???? They facinate me. I would love to build a beverly hillbillys monster truck. Got any cool old trucks ? And I was just about to text ya an ask where ya been ? If ya can would ya post a pic of that box up for me sir Buff-Man. Thanks

[buffs 78 ford]
