thanks jonmark1985,
let me just state for the record at this time that I am an amature, I am not a mechanic however I am mechanically inclined, now how would you recomend I acquire those parts?
we have a uap napa here will they bring those in for me or do I go to the manufacturer and have them delivered to me? we have a ford dealership an hour away(if I drive fast).
soon I will start, I will take 'before' pics, then remove the hood,hoses and anything thats in the way or could get broken, then I'll figure out a way to hoist the engine out, most likely I'll buy an engine hoist but I may mount a beam and a chainfall to my ceiling, then I'll start to dismantle the engine .
I'll post more after all this christmas stuff is overwith.....
merry ho ho everybody
