Yeah, sorry...I have replaced the driver's side mount already with a polyurethane replacement. I haven't got around to doing the passenger side yet because I realized that the motor mount didn't give me any extra clearance. The header has been dented to clear the coupler and the steering...

It's been a while since I've posted anything on here, mainly because I'm close to burning my car down in a completely accidental fire. To recap: Bought the car a few years ago from the original owner Swapped in a lunati cam, 4bbl, intake etc Ate a lobe off said cam due to improper breaking...

I'm having header fitment issues as well...it's so bad, I can't actually get the driver side header back out to beat the hell out of it. Guess that's what I get for going with the cheapo Summit headers. Anway, I did replace my driver side motor mount with a poly one (going to do the passenger...

The cause? Between the timing being off, not having fuel up to the carb, and a leak or two the engine didn't start quick enough and all of the assembly lube was wiped off this lobe of the camshaft. When it finally did start and we ran it I guess the damage had already been done. Of course...

So, in case anyone had been holding their breath on this (I doubt it)...here's what happened. I bought a lifter tool off Amazon and when I tried to pull the lifters out the 3rd or 4th one back on the driver's side would not come out. So I pulled the manifold and you can see what I found in...

Wow, I thought this thread had died last week, thanks for everyone's input! Not only did I get some different opinions on what I should do, but I also got some good ideas (and links) on tools to help me remove the lifters if I decide to leave the intake on. Where I'm at right now...I...

Everything I've seen about the Rhoads lifters are that they work better with large cams. I would consider my cam to be on the small side (Advertised Duration 256/262, Lift .454/.475), so would these lifters be worth extra cost and would I see a performance gain?

Thanks Salty, I'll check those out.

It looks like the concensus is to take off the manifold, so maybe that's my best bet. I just remember it being a PITA because of all the other stuff I had to remove...and it's an AC car. But in the long run I guess it's probably the safest bet. Any suggestions about new lifters if I need a...

It's been a while since I've been on here, but I have been busy on my '76 Scamp since last year. And boy has it been a bear. It started off with a simple cam swap (w/ new lifters and springs), 4bbl intake and carb, headers, and shift kit. Still haven't done the headers and shift kit yet...

That had just about everything. I wonder who the guy was that brought the gun to that council meeting? Also, I'm not sure if the girl with the catapult at around 12:33 made it out alive.

Some nice looking stuff being posted here, I really like the blue Comet and the Moto Guzzi bike...I don't think I've ever seen one of those. I got the Maverick transferred into my name on Monday, so that part is finally over. Now I just need for it to stop snowing or raining for a day or two...

Ok, much better...and that's funny stuff.

It's cool to see everyone's replies about their other cars. And thanks for the compliments on the Maverick. It is a very clean car...it looks better than the interior of my 2010 Ranger. Which reminds me, if we are listing ALL of our other vehicles then here you go: 2010 Ranger (4cy...

Haha...glad I could share!
