It's my bottle opener made from 351C4v engine parts.

A 351C4V 2.19 intake valve, 2 stock steel rocker arms and 2 spring retainers.

Thanks crawln
Yep, looks looks like I'll be doing a bunch of engine/trans swaps in the next month or so, Need to do the Bronco shuffle again.
Going to do all 3 of my 77s, Everything I had planned awhile back I am now doing.

The 351C4v with the 4 speed top-loader will go into my uncut copper 77, its 302 is tired and the doors will come off along with its rusty top.

The 393 Clevor with NP435/203/205 will go into my "not yet finished painted" yellow 77.

And the rebuilt 351W from the yellow 77 will go into my green daily driver 77 in front of the rebuilt C4.

I'm hoping all the changes go smoothly without any major problems or set-backs.

Thats pretty cool, you could probably sell those, but parts might be alittle pricey. Work looks great Mad, more pics please ;D

Yes, I've sold a few and gave some away to friends. The owner of the machine shop I always go to and who I've become friends with got my first one 15 years ago and still has it today on his counter. He says he's gotten so many comments on it from other customers it's NUTS!! I also gave one to Steve (66horse) when we met at Fab Fords 100th, He and his wife went out of their way to get me and mines tickets to Knotts Berry Farm.
I had tried different versions of it and this turned one out to be the best. Not only is it a great bottle opener, It is also a paper weight and pencil/pen holder. I will only make this with Cleveland parts because it is unique, Big valves, 1.73 ratio stock rockers and stock valvespring retainers.
This one is a little rusty, poor guy was left out in the rain.

The fuzzy picture is because I'm buzzin' ;D

I would buy one. That is a cool conversation piece to keep in the garage and for drinking a cold and tasty beverage while working on the ol' EB.

The little guy is really neat. But us Canadians don't have time for openers, all our bottles come with twist offs. It just screws up your rhythm reaching for an opener.

Heinekens don't have twist-offs
