Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
For the head bolts sealer I used #2 Permatex per the recommendation of the machinist who did my 8ba short block but I'm sure there are other options as well.

Re: Is this a widow maker wheel?
IIRC the bolt pattern for Ford big trucks changed after 1934. If that's the case, then no, it's not a widow maker wheel. But over on the Ford Truck Exchange there is a member Stu who goes by truckdog...

Re: Swap Meet, Redlands, CA
Looks like there may be light rain on Friday but clear on Saturday so I'll load up and tarp Rusty the night before and all should be good. Can't wait.

Re: Swap Meet, Redlands, CA
Misc flathead parts, SBF stuff, some automotive tools, and vintage car and travel post cards. Plus stuff that I'm tired of tripping over. Hoping for a good turn out of both buyers and sellers.
