Sorry to hear that Stodd... you two were obviously together a long time & divorce is hard, wether you want it or not.

Oh and BTW... I don't know where you are in your Big D process.... but I have one bit of advice.... 1.) There is no LOVE in Divorce
2.) It deals with dividing up a life. Division is math.
Math is used in business, so the advice is---
DIVORCE IS NOTHING BUT A BUSINESS DEAL-- TREAT IT AS SUCH!!!!!

I scored for once!!!...that didnt sound right.......>.>

But after tearing the top end of the T-Bird down, and buying the gasket set and so on, I noticed some odd things that were not matching up. So I went to a shit ton of Ford sites and was advised to check the stroke and bore of the motor while I had the heads off, and to also measure the ports and get the casting numbers off of the heads.


Well, I thought this was a 390. Which is an admirable motor with plenty of power. Come to find out it isn't a 390..................







It's a 428 CJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CJ = COBRA- FUCKING-JET.........

Funny thing is the only way to know the difference it to measure the valves and the intake ports in the heads. and the intake manifold port size, the intake head port size, is what makes a cobra jet a cobra jet. And the 390 and 428 blocks are exactly the same. Only difference is bore and stroke. And the only way to tell the difference is to pull the heads and measure these two things. There is so much debate on how to tell the difference, but the common conclusion that is definitive is this proceedure. So fucking cool.

I should have posted this in the " score" post huh. oh well, i'll do that too. I'm ecstatic at the moment.

Divorce was the best thing that happened to me. I'm still paying, but i'm glad the bitch is gone.
