Got it shipped faster than Cuervo could get it to me.


Thanks Todd ... just got off the phone with them ... it will be drop shipping along with a Fidanza (going on the Cougar) since I already have an SVT flywheel (factory fresh - meant for the Cougar).

I also just got off the phone with the local dealership (I get the same pricing as BillJ, otherwise I would go through Bill) since I don't have to pay for shipping and I can pick everything up tomorrow after 3PM

- I got every gasket on the engine, all the TTY block bolts (head bolts as well) & valve stem seals.

Also called the machine shop and consulted with them on the cost of the lapping vs. valve job and he said that the labor was roughly the same, so I decided to go with a full valve job (5 angle IIRC).

As you can tell, even though this car will ultimately be sold someday this spring, I'm paying attention to detail and doing it right ... the way I expected to recieve this car will be the way it will be sold. No rock will be left unturned. I'm even going to be installing a Quaife in the gearbox
