The Ford is a V8 Ranger project. It sat out in the weather too much. No joke, I used muscles I forgot I had (but feel them now), and a BFH more than removing things properly. LOL.
Fasteners rusted tight in their clips, etc.
It's getting a carbed and cammed up 5.0 w/automatic.
I got my Yamaha in a trade a while back, it was sitting for many years and had been cobbled quite a bit.
Really like the thing though, rounding up parts, paint, gaskets, etc.
Me- I'm recently retired, have an old Ford I'm fixing up too. Divorced, living with my daughter. I'll soon turn 60.
Looking forward to learning and talking with you all here.
