China has turned the auto aftermarket into a junk market. They suck.

I'm not getting any younger...
Finances and other projects are my main focus, well actually my main focus is to get a chunk of land and put a building up, that way I'm not paying someone else's taxes to keep my cars dry...
Not huge progress....but its something....

You have to put the parts on and in the car not just sitting on top.

Now that right there is a "Parts Car." Mighty fine!
I can't think of a nicer shelf...
Digging through photos on a harddrive I forgot I had...I took this picture December 31st 2012....Dave was just getting down to business on his 440+6 GT, this was his reference car, even then I think he and I knew it would end up with me...
I dragged it outside on Sunday and changed some flats....I want to sort my spare stuff out and figure out what I need still.
Got my new crate engine in...

Decided to swap some panels, I'm always shocked at how clean this car is.

Wow Nick! Good work!
Wish I had you in the neighborhood. I'd be buying the beverage of your choice and asking for help.

Well, I actually started working on an engine for this car back in late 2020, but the China Virus caused that to slow to a trickle, everything took 5 times as long as it normally did and was twice as expensive, but here we are, 1973 Truck 440, Forged crank engine, it's been tanked, dipped, fluxed, bored 30 over, decked, line bored, new cam bearings, new distributor drive bushing, new frost plugs and new block plugs.
I have been collecting stuff for it and my goal is hopefully to have a 440 that looks like a stock U code 375 horse motor, but I'm hoping to make 400HP.
Why a U code? Simply put, it wasn't available in any '70 Fury other then a PK41, This car was never anything more then a 383-2 Fury III, if I'm building a non-numbers car, I'm going to building something that never existed. But I'm going to do it how I would of wanted.
I will pair it with a 1969 383 HP 727 from a Roadrunner that I have, and I have a Big pinion 489 3.23 Sure-grip.

COOL!!!!! You should put an Air Grabber on this car!
Dug the heads out for Project "X", Aero Racing prepped 452 heads, skimmed, oversize stainless valves, all the good stuffs, Thanks to my friend Duncan for selling me these about 4-5 years ago, I've been collecting parts to build this 440 for years.
51-2 truck? ford or mercury?
Cool project! I always wanted to convert my Imperial to a 4-speed manual but parts availability (and prices) have put me off. 
Do you still have your 4-speed stuff?
