Has anyone done one before? I havnt,,iv done a half dozen Ford EFI swaps,,I have a customer that wants me to put one in his 57 chevy pickup(my old driver),,its got a mid seventies camaro subframe in it shoudnt be a problem?
Id usually pass on this but business is slow and im taking anything i can get,,

Also he is curious how much$,,,I told him I estimate give or take a few bucks 2K labor to install it,2k in parts to install the  cost for the engine and trans is about 3k so its looking like about 7k for the conversion total,,,Im i in the ball park at that? thanks jim

On my 53 ford stock leaf rear end i just put 2 inch lower blocks now iv got serious wheel hop,,if i were to make up 2 say 1 inch bars with hiems and bracket it from the top or the bottom of the rear diff to the frame will that fix it?,,,thanks jim

I sprayed out a set of doors the other day,House of colors black base with there Kosmic clear,I had them laying flat on stands,,i put enough base to cover,then i gunned on 4 coats of clear,,figuring there would be plenty there to cut and rub it nice..so the next morning i sanded them with 2000 and buffed them,,and they looked great..I slide them out in the sun,it was pretty warm out,,about 80,sun was strong,,,so about an hour after they were out there i grabbed one of my yellow micro rags and went to wipe them and the rag kind of draged,,the clear was soft ,it didnt smug it but it was soft enough were i could thumb print it,,so i slide it back in the shade and let it cool and it harden again,,,so after doing that a couple of times (figured it would be good to let it cycle) they ended up rock hard and then not affected by the heat of the sun ,,so last night i was slideing them back in under my carport and noticed a weird looking texture on about a 1/4 of one of the doors,so i cut and rubbed it out again till it was gone,and am slightly seeing it appear again in the same spot this AM!
(BTW both doors prior to paint were completely catalized primed and blocked,the prime had about a month to dry)
Any one ever have a simlar problem,,,its been one of those jobs that just dosnt want to go away!!!,,,thanks ahead for any response,,,jim
