Post A Pic Of Your Latest Purchase Thread...

Battery relocated to the trunk helps a bunch! Opens up a little bit of working room under the hood too.....but you already know that.

Bingo. One thing I've been experimenting with is using a crown Vic expansion tank where the battery normally sits, to allow a less restrictive path out the hood vent.

I needed a few more items for my 351 project
So I made the purchase today I have just about everything

Dumb non performance stuff since whoever V8 swapped this car appears to have just kinda thrown bolts at it and gave zero consideration to fit/finish.

Scored an MGW for the Bullitt for $80. Was just about to order a UPR version.

I think my financial life just flashed before my eyes..... Just clicked "continue to payment" on LMR..... almost $1900 in parts for the ole '94 GT.

I haven't spent this much at one time on parts. Ever.

The purchase anxiety is REAL....

Yeah, but what did ya get for your $1900?? We gotsta know!!

It’s so easy to spend more than 1k on car parts. It seems not that long ago parts for these cars used to be a lot cheaper. Those were the days.

SVE 170 heads
several sets of ARP hardware
cam retainer
gasket set
setup springs
pushrod measure "tool"
Head bolt 7/16 adapter/washers
edelbrock intake gasket set
TrickFlow intake elbow
Timing chain set
High vol oil pump
throttle body gaskets
and a partridge in a pear tree.....

I’m interested to see the quality of those heads. Most pushrod enthusiasts would probably steer you towards the iron Vic jr heads due to known good quality at its price point. A decent, cheap aluminum head would be nice.

Finally stopped talking about it and ordered it. Gotta hurry up with the engine rebuild now.

Where from? Kenny Bell said they had none for 4.6 2V. Is that Saleen specific?

Ordered from Saleen. I had called them and they said the 4-8 week time frame has been on par so far this year. KB are supposedly moving/moved to a new building. Per the Saleen rep.
And it is "Saleen" spec, but it just sounds like it comes with more add ons. I was surprised how many parts they have added to their SN95/New Edge section.

The nickel and diming has gone into full swing. Had to order a power steering hose, headlight retainer clips, serpentine belt, fuel filter, exhaust hangers and ball & socket hardware.

That sucks. IMO the nickel & diming began just before that when you spent $6,600 with them and then they charged you $280 for shipping. I guess they don’t feel they have to get on board with every place else, “free shipping over $XXX”? Pity and shame on them.

That car (01 Bullitt) technically hasn't started it's nickel and dime affair. The 01 V6-V8 swap is full swinging. I even tried to ask if I could pick up in person since they are in California and I could call it a mini vacation. NO dice.
