Re: 3.54 vs 3.89

Langlia....did you ever try the 3.9 ? which engine do you have?
if I am correct, the british sterling is more favorable to the US dollar now, might be a good time to buy from England? Which supplier in England does not sell to the USA (litigation reasons) ?

Re: Save the planet - "Drive a Classic"

I heard its been brutal in that part of the country. I even heard some factories are closing ...not because of the cold...but to lighten the load on the electrical grid. I heard on the radio where Ford is asking their dealers to help..... https://wgntv.com/news/ford-asks-texas-dealers-to-loan-f-150s...

Re: Brett's 100e Anglia

looking good brett,,,I have to ask, regarding the grill, did you remove every other vertical bar? It looks menacing! I like it. How did you mount the front bumper guards? I have been thinking of hangin' something off of those tapped holes in the front frame rails.

they are similar in shape to the flathead v8...which the head was taller than a stock bolt. I ran a chevy disc in a flathead v8 which barely hit the bolt head, so I replaced them with ARP flywheel bolts ...which had shorter head height. Someone on the site must have another bolt for you, but if not,...

hey BigFred....I have 175's on my 300E. I dont know if I have the 5.2 or 5.6 rims as they came off of other models. The tire just does clear the strut, and the rim is literally "riding on the sidewall"....from so much sidewall bulge. There is no issue with fender clearance. With that said,...
