[QUOTE="Snagmaster, post: 16704158, member: 170795"] Thanks for the reply I’m a retired diesel wrench and do know my way around an engine Just not familiar with fords, there’s so much stuff and wires and such on the engine I can barely see the valve covers I remember my buddy’s 1990 Arizona highway patrol notch back had those cast valve covers and this one has stamped steel from what I see I’ll just have to put it up on stands and get out the flashlight to see if the engine mounts or trans bolts have been wrenched on to see if it’s been out of the car But it’s pretty flippin cold out right now, it may have to wait, it has really good oil pressure like I’ve never seen in an engine with 185,000 on the clock It’s not in spun bearing pressure area though, I’ve seen a few of those and this isn’t pegging the gauge, the last owner took excellent care of the car so I’m thinking it’s been out No history or paperwork on the car except for a carfax I ran on it It sat in a field for 2.5 years and I charged the battery, replaced a battery terminal, spun it over with the coil unplugged till I saw oil pressure on the gauge Hooked the coil back up, put in three gallons of premium and drove it home And the price was right….
