Did you ever find your front sump? I have a Pinto front sump I could sell cheap. Russ

Investment tips for 2015 With all the turmoil in the market today and the collapse of Lehman Bros. and Acquisition of Merrill Lynch by Bank of America this might be some good advice. For all of you with any money left, be aware of the next expected mergers so that you can get in on the ground floor and make some BIG bucks. Watch for these consolidations later on this year: 1.) Hale Business Systems, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Fuller Brush, and W.R. Grace Co. will merge and become: Hale, Mary, Fuller, Grace. 2.) Polygram Records, Warner Bros., and Zesta Crackers join forces and become: Poly, Warner Cracker. 3.) 3M will merge with Goodyear and become: MMMGood. 4.) Zippo Manufacturing, Audi Motors, Dofasco, and Dakota Mining will merge and become: ZipAudiDoDa. 5.) FedEx is expected to join its competitor, UPS, and become: FedUP. 6.) Fairchild Electronics and Honeywell Computers will become: Fairwell Honeychild. 7.) Grey Poupon and Docker Pants are expected to become: PouponPants. 8.) Knotts Berry Farm and the National Organization of Women will become: Knott NOW. And finally... 9.) Victoria's Secret and Smith & Wesson will merge under the new name: TittyTittyBangBang.

Good one Skip!!!!

I have reserved my room for three nights. I'll be there with or without my car. So I may be bumming rides. See you all there!!! Russ

Look for some one that specializes in formula Ford race cars. I just had my Kent done by Farley Race Engines in Platte City, MO. Russ

My head yes. The pre-xflow?????

Yeah pre-crossflows are cool. Farley had one at his shop that he just finished. Full on race motor and a $30k price tag. I thought my motor was expensive.

Well I just picked up my new 1600cc Ford crossflow motor from Farley Racing Engines. Real pretty with no oil crud all over it (I wonder how long it will stay that way). Dyno’d 104 chp at 6100. Not as much as I had hoped. Now I need to find the time to match it up to my new used 4 spd tranny and see if everything fits in the Locost. It is a taller motor than my old 1300cc crossflow so I need to lower it in the frame and make new motor and tranny mounts. I also need to find a long clutch cable to actuate my clutch now that the starter and clutch leaver are on opposite sides. Wish me luck. Russ

The slave measures 1.385" but there is a lot of corrosion so it probably is 1 3/8". I can try to post pics tomorrow but Mr Computer I am not. My tranny is a British made type 2 from a Pinto. It looks just like the tranny on page 114 of Burtons 2014 catalog. I would check out a 1970's Mustang slave or 2300cc Pinto, as I think all Xflow Pintos were cable clutches. Russ

Looks just like the BH that came with my motor. Same numbers except mine has an "11" where yours has a "24". I got another BH that was cable actuated so I am not using this one. It has a Gerling 7/8 cylinder on it with a "CC9" under the Gerling name. I was told the trans and BH came from a 70's Mustang/Pinto

If it is a Xflow and not leaking oil then you are out of oil!!!!! Russ

Here you go TurboWood http://www.viralnova.com/box-of-money/

Thanks guys. I didn't know it was a British company.

I can't find "SPC". Do you have any links?

Wow I never saw that. I wonder how bad frt. is going to be?

I am in the process of putting a new Ford 1600 crossflow in my RHD locost seven and I would like to update my transmission. My existing tranny is a type 2 4 speed with integral bellhousing. The second gear syncro is bad. These trannys are very weak and were never imported to the US so I doubt any rebuild parts are available stateside. I have an extra tranny that appears to be a type 2 tranny from a Pinto/Capri (see page 114 of the Burton catalog http://www.burtonpower.com/eCatalogue/2014/index.html). The trouble is the starter and clutch cable are on the opposite sides from what I need. I have to have a bellhousing that has the starter on the left and the clutch cable on the right (no I can't use a hydraulic clutch without MAJOR remodel of my pedal box). Beer tokens await anyone that has the right bellhousing. Russ

Raise the front of the truck on ramps therefore lowering the load height and angling the floor to match your load ramps. I use the straight HF ramps and love them. Russ

Welcome. Stalkers are nice cars. Where is Alden?

You're a lot skinner than me!!!!

It does look just like Gail. Kinda grey and skinny!!!! TeeHee
