Stop in for a cup of coffee

Was having a good weekend. Had a reassuring phone call with Michael Schumacher from Schumacher Creative services concerning my 440 install. Great guy and awesome customer service. Then went out with the youngest son to a friends shop and then to a pick and pull looking for parts. Found good manual steering box, starter, the metal plate between starter and trans, and a good dual fan assembly out of a Ford Contour all for $150. Got the box mounted, dipstick tube installed. Drivers side header slipped in. Then i snapped a exhaust stud in the head on the passenger side! Dang it! :BangHead: Two steps forward, four steps back. Oh well God is growing my patience. LOL

That one must have bottomed out. Shouldn't be too bad to get out. Not rusted in for decades.
