    73 convertible top problem

    351 C Engine rebuild. Not an expert, want some solid advice.

    Headers for a 429 CJ/SCJ

    To ding or not to ding? That is the question. I used aftermarket motor mounts and I think that played a role in the need to clearance one tube for the PS box. I would test fit and assess. You may not need to do anything.

    Do I still need the steering fluid cooler with a Saginaw pump?

    I have been running a Saginaw pump with no cooler for a couple of years with no problems. Unless you are road racing or something I don't believe it's really necessary.

    New intake manifold?

    IIRC there are two different part numbers for the Blue Thunder 351C application. One is for the Pantera and one is for everything else. The difference is the angle of the carb pad.
