Had to rewatch the video. It doesn't sound like it has 12.6:1 compression.

I dont think the cam was set up with the specs provided by Lunati. The timing gear isnt adjustable and there arent any advance or retard spacers either. When i do it it will be.

Looks like it's on an adapter.

Misspelling brought to you by Tapatalk

Some Ford trucks came with an oil cooler adapter that was installed between the filter and the block, but the one's I have seen (and the one in my barn) maintain the stock oil filter angle perpendicular to the block.

The pic almost looks like is is angled to point the filter up/down. But there is a bit of fisheye effect in the picture.

The oil filter is straight up and down, it sits in a hole in the crossmember. I havent touched it too much. I have every part i need sitting on the shelves ready to go. Ive been focused on the mustang getting it finished first.

Ordered a T56 kit today and converting it to a manual. Truck is completely broken down. Going to have the frame blasted and powdercoated. Then i will start putting it back together with all new parts. Decided to paint it matte black with a satin clear. Also looking at putting it on air. Its already stupid low but not a very comfortable ride.

Satin black?! Really?! That is so played out. Can we convince you otherwise? :beerdrink:
