[Devin]

April fools!!!

HA! I actually thought the same thing!

It's probably not yours Devin. Yours is still in the "TOO DO": pile.

;D Actually, just got another 400 manny in yesterday for the same mods and I was thinkin it would have been fun to play a little joke by taking some pics of that one instead. But Devin has been too patient...

 

[Devin]

Hey bmc, did you ever go look at your scrap pile to see if you have an extra clutch pivot mount that goes on the bell housing?

 

[bmc69]

No...but I do have some of doze. Should I put on in with the..oh..wait..shoot.;D

And now the plan falls apart.

The scoundrels are attributing a level of guile to yrs truly that my current level of Alzheimer's cannot actually sustain.;D

What?? English!!!!!

 

[bmc69]

What?? English!!!!!

oops..sorry..been debating with Rob too much today. What I meant was: Y'all really think I'm that clever??..ppffffbbbt"

 

[bax]

April first? You know were all just waiting to see what's next.

 

[Devin]

Ok, here is how I see it:

Bax thinks that BMC is trying to play an April fool's joke on me - the part isn't actually done. When I asked for the clutch pivot, BMC's response may have been taken by bax as a "see, I told you it is still there in his shop".

However, I think that bmc's response to my clutch pivot inquiry actually shows that he already SENT the manifold, and can't hurry up and drop a pivot in the box for me.

I hope that Bax is wrong. :-X

 

[bax]

Wow you enginginemers are smart. I guess Bill has to ship them separate now.

 

[bmc69]

I hope that Bax is wrong. :-X

Yr good..Bax is always wrong.

 

[Devin]

Yr good..Bax is always wrong.

LMFAO. Hahahahha.

 

[bax]

I am never wrong!!! And I am good looking too.

 

[Devin]

Picked up the EB from the Line-X shop yesterday. It looks great - they did a really good job. I also received my intake from bmc. Things are going to start going together in a hurry. ;D

 

[bax]

That looks sweet. just cover it good when you paint the truck.

 

[GraficO]

does this mean I need to step on the gas on mine?!?

 

[Devin]

Adam - Yeah, you best step on it! ;D

I did a test fit of my intake and found a couple of minor problems. The machinist put the rails at the stock Ford angles, but that doesn't give enough room for the Holley TB. No real problem, though. I have enough hood clearance with the Pro-Flow to just get a spacer to raise the TB assembly up out of the way. Also, my passenger side fuel rail doesn't sit a quite the right angle. I am going to remove that side and bend the mounts a bit more so that the injectors are more in line with the bungs.
