Yeah you are the first one, lol. This was a pretty popular forum, and I am sure it will be again. I take it you owned a Fairmont?
I did, and now I own a Zephyr Z7
Did you get the motor running?
Not yet. I am gathering all my parts still. Cleaning...painting and bolting on. I have a few parts to order and I should be looking good. Today, I have the fuel pump on, and close to putting the water pump and Alt. brackets on. Making a few adjustments here and there. Finding bolts is quite fun.....all mixed up in a couple of cans and boxes. So I have to sort threw them and find what I need.....needle in a hay stack !
I am hoping with in a week or two I will be able to fire it up !!:cool:

You will have to post a video when you get her fired up.

I plan to. I think I will load my pants when I do fire this car up. Been about 5 years since I last drove it.
after rebuilding 6 302's (2 of them 3 times due to idiot friends...), i don't even question where a bolt goes anymore, and i imagine a 351W should have the same bolts... it's fun though...

:idea:::HINT:: Ziplock freezer bags (1gal. size)..... intake bolts= 1 bag, valve cover bolt= another bag... and so on and so on.... PLUS u can put some PB blaster in them so they will eat rust, oh wait, never did test if PB will eat the bag...ALSO magic marker on the bag whats in it lol. :mad2:

yea yea just my 2cents

I did do the bags for everything I took apart....but when I got the motor and all the stuff with it....that was handed to me in cans and boxes. Thats where I am looking for bolts and stuff. I am smarter then that and would remember how it was easier if I took it all apart myself. I just dont know whats missing and what I do have.
in theory a 302 should be the same
HHHrrrrmmm i just got an idea on what to do Sunday the 13th !

That would be nice.....5 1/2 car garage is pretty full these days. I could use some help there.
u dont have any 'burn' laws in your town do ya?
Well, kinda ya.....especially after the last time I burned the brush pile. Local and near by town fire dept.s showed up because lots of calls came in from people on the freeway thought my old barn was on fire....said it looked like it from the freeway.
