It occured to me that my 74, which i have owned since 1990, does not have its own build thread. Since the 66 has ben in limbo for a year waiting on the vintage inlines aluminum head, the 74 has been my daily driver. We swapped the Chevy disc brakes for ford brakes a couple weeks ago and today Phil and I started doing some measuring of compession and and axle droop so we can install F250 shock towers and the bilstein 7100's that I picked up from Toolman. The current shortlist of items to take care of are: Shock towers and Bilstein install Move the rear axle back an inch New Flares New Tires Steering box rebuild Radiator replacement and minor relocation Hydroboost rebuild Power steering cooler Install leather heated mustang seats Hopefully, we can knock a few things off the list before super celebration.

I'm curious about the h-boost rebuild. I've read conflicting recommendations about doing it yourself. |

Glad I could contribute. Thanks for the cash! I might plan on mounting the F250 shock towers a tad lower than what it will look like. But I'm sure you and Phil will get it figured out how to maximize travel. |

This weekend we knocked out the steering box rebuild and plumbed it through the radiators trans cooler to keep it cool. We also plasma cut out a 5/8" spacer to move the steering box out and give some much needed clearance for the upcoming radiator relocatoin. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk |
