Gotmark73,

Your 2300 looks like mine did when I bought my T.... ..much nicer now. Just need to come up with a better air cleaner that fits under the hood:

You could always pop 4 Mukinis out the side, kinda like an old Offy.

Way over due for an update. Had some free time and started putting the pieces where they belong. Bought a pair of 46 ford drums, backing plates, and hubs from a HAMBer for $200.00. A long time hotrod buddy of my dad donated a Vega steering box. Bought a wiring harness on ebay $85.00. Got 7 used T-5 transes from a trans shop that was closing (some Ford some Chevy)ebay $75.00. Pitman arm from Spirit $75.00, bat wings from RPM. Smoothie clevises from Speedway (POS the bolts don't fit) Ford tie rod ends from Speedway (they look good).

Hi
If it helps I have posted a how to resize picture in Windows 7 without having to use a photo software program or photobucket. I think its in the Lounge section. Good start My first T was a 4 banger (1500cc crossflow Ford, about 105 BHP but still fun
