Re: pos Fords
nice painting work man. i like that intake. did you make sure the heads weren't cracked. that is the only problem with the 2.9L motor. They were pretty damn peppy but they had a lot of problems with the heads cracking. I think it needs to be boosted though. hahaha. a set of twins would be nice on that motor. haha

lol, this thread reminds me of a long time ago when someone ( i think it was from this site also) assembled an engine, all fordged internals...top of the line everything, then went to crank it by hand (while still on the engine stand) and couldn't get it to turn, picked his brain to high hell... took the head off and found a shop rag in one of the cyl.

reminds me of when i was finishing my LS swap and i left a rag in the t-body and just slapped my intake on, that could have been real bad
