Had an unexpected day off today, so after it warmed up a bit I decided to get the front end of the FE put together. A friend donated a set of pulleys to the project, so I picked up a water pump, fuel pump alternator and dug around and found a set of low mount alternator brackets. Everything went real smooth until I started to install the alternator. I'm using an early (pre-62) 352 block which didn't have the hole for the alternator pivot bolt. Fortunately there is enough of a boss there to drill and tap the hole so that was a simple fix.
I should get around to ordering the radiator and Pretonix kit for the distributor later this month so it's getting a little closer to running. The new headers for the HEMI for the 37 Dodge came in today, so I'll likely get that finished up and on the test stand before I get back to the Ford
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
