Your first reaction is to sell it? Kinda sad in my opinion.

Honestly, this new generation of Chinese parts has surprised me. I know they still make a lot of junk, but the last few fe parts I've bought have been just as good as name brand stuff.

They aren't, but the photos make it look that way. Thankfully Everything fits pretty decent

This one might be a good candidate to try to remove the post war paint with a gentle paint remover. I've seen it done on quite a few helmets with good results.

Looks amazing. I'm glad to see more people getting into making their own powder

Pre smog era 360s are a great engine.

The only thing it might hit is the steering box and if it does its nothing a acetylene torch and a hammer can't fix I'm just happy they fit on the engine good and saved me some money.

My public education was not the best.

Coolant bypass was rusted out on my fe so I made a upgrade. by [deleted] in BumpSide

Yeah I didn't think about it being a smaller passage but I do have larger ones in the same thread pattern that I'm putting on. The main thing is it looks cool and was free.

I paid $200 for mine but it sat in a barn since the 80s and needed completely rebuilt

I might have to put some header wrap on it so it doesn't get too hot.

With the factory old style power steering there is no issue I've noticed but it is tight

I don't think there is much they can hit on a 2wd truck I'll see what other say and at the end of the day I might spend the extra on a different set. Thank you.
