Awe man, I got jebaited :laugh: Didn't see your latest edit either.

Interesting change of direction, but hey, now with the GT you can upgrade to the Ford 8.8" solid axle if needed! I can't believe the GT has 430k, it looks so clean!!

Btw, you can third-party host your images with Imgur to post more than a few images in one single post. Helps save some server space as well. PM me if you would like help with that. :)

That's like speaking a whole different language to me. wish you were here watching me try and downsize the photos to just get one to upload. that why I redid the initial post.

Heads are off.

With 252,000 miles on this engine, cylinders looks great.
