Gonna pull my engine tomorrow...
I won't drive the car anymore anyway until I'll get the Ford 9 inch installed because my current differential is shot... or close to it...
Isosceles who is buying my engine is going to come over and help me...

Well - I actually haven't called AR during this week to check. Will call early next week to see if somebody already re-calibrated the dyno.. Well - they actually also pulled off the heads and re-worked them to get even better flow numbers..

Hey Oliver-
Have not posted lately, mostly due to refinishing the 71 all summer, but glad to hear you are taking it to the next level! Best of luck on your next effort, I am sure, after some tuning, we will all be impressed with the results- Happy Holidays!

I would be interested in learning more about the Ford 9 inch differential installation. Can someone provide some information? Is there a website I can access? I've already learned a little bit about the 31 spline axle shafts, the giant U-joint spiders, the 4 inch diameter half shaft axles, and the upgraded positraction housings. Anyhow I've seen several posts alluding to Ford 9 inch differentials and can someone explain why this is a good idea??? Thanks

WOOAAAAHH Oliver...I did not know that part of you.
Good Luck.
Tomorrow this guy with this wax is doing an INFO-MERCIAL and I was asked to go. Big party & stuff. I thought I would leave the car dirty (2 weekends of racing) and do a before and after. Hey maybe I'll get a FREE WAXING.
WOOOAAHHHHH....Don't go there !!!!!
