Bought a whole bunch of cleaning products to get the oil and cig stank out of the crown Vic.
Next is tires to replace the bald tires, and when I says bald I mean BALD 👨🦲

And then?
I had a 92 with a 5.0HO GT40 top end, T5, 3.73 with posi. Thing was a hoot and would actually get down in MI. Still decent in CO, but it rapped out 3rd a lot harder down there. What year? As much of a GM guy as I am, Ford gets kudos for keeping the CV alive as a true body on frame for so long.
I just had to get out of the house and the Christmas leftovers. So I did another coat of POR-15 engine enamel on the Jeep 4.0. Then I went back to cleaning fasteners and prepping for the block install. I feel it will be easier to lay the block in and secure to the transmission without the head on. That way I can at least SEE the bell housing bolts. Then there are two idiotic external TORX bolts at the top. They will NOT be going back in. I drove around until I found a couple of grade 5 hex head flange bolts the same size. Oddly, Home Dupa had them. And it pays to double-check everything. When I put the oil pump in I found the bottom plate bolts were all the wrong torque. I set them right. Then I made sure the oil pump drive shaft fit without binding before torquing the mounting bolts.
Yeah Eric, oddly warm! It was almost 70 yesterday! We'll pay for it, looks like some cold moving in next week. Gonna try to get the dash installed before then, fingers crossed.
