    Another 2.8l lives!

    A good day. The 2.8 that I built nearly 5 years ago fired and ran today! The engine has been on a stand and patiently waiting through 3 deployments to SW Asia and other trips totaling more than2 years. Add to that another 18 months where I worked 300 miles from home after (retirement) from...

    Duraspark journey

    I'm about to start the Duraspark journey for the 2.8. I took the engine off the stand this week and set the car for the final fit check and mock up of all the related parts before it gets blown apart for the last time ahead of paint. I decided I needed a motivator, so want to start it and...

    Jose V-6 header question

    A question for those who have gone before. I installed the v-6 w/ Jose kit today for the mockup of hoses and build of new fuel/brake/clutch lines. I also bolted up the headers. My headers come off the engine and take a turn of 30 - 45 degrees outboard, rather than running relatively straight...

    Carter AFB 400 CFM

    Carter AFB 400 CFM carb. I bought it, but found it was too wide to fit the capri valve covers I have. The linkage strikes the cover unless you use a spacer between the carb and manifold. Good condition. Elect choke. Pictures on request. $225 includes shipping. These can be hard...

    Rebuild Steering box/Idler - lesson learned

    Writing this so someone else can avoid my mistake. SNAFU This past weekend, I dissassembled/cleaned/sandblasted my SIV LHD stock steering box and opposing side steering idler. When I started reassembly, the steering box bushing installation went fine. The pin fits too tight, so this...

    Source for 2.8L Rocker shafts?

    I'm assembling an engine and looking for new rocker shafts for a 2.8. Anyone know of a good source? So far, I've had no luck for new ones. NAPA, Shucks, Carquest, Autozone, compcams Jegs, Ford, and others, no luck yet. Used ones I can find, but but the ones I've looked at feel pretty rough...

    Progress

    Well, Been a while since I worried about posting, but my bride just isn't excited as I am. After months (okay nearly 3 years) of seemingly negative progress, I'm about finished with replacing nearly all horizontal surfaces from rust to new metal. That's all four floor sections, inner sills...

    Bolt on EFI?

    So, as I was checking out the bling at the Boise Roadster Show this past weekend, I see a booth advertizing a bolt on-carb replacement similar to, IMO, Holley's pro-jection. The company's name is Retrotek. See retrotekspeed.com. I e-mailed the company and asked about a potential...

    Heater options

    Has anyone tried other heater options other than stock? I was browsing a Vintage Air catalog and saw an integrated heater motor/fan/core assembly that could fit in place of the stock fan motor and housing. I'm only going off the dimension listed vs the dimensions I measured from the stock...
