[mark F-100]

Finally started putting the truck back together, got my motor back from the shop this week. Had the transmission re-built, all new brake lines, brake drums, shoes, new coil springs, and shocks.

Looking good. What kind of headers are those?

[mark F-100]

There Headman headers. Model # 89140 for 73-79 dents but they fit our bumps to. Tight fit on starter side but still room, I wrapped the starter with heat shield just to be safe. Can't wait to fire up 429 and hear it purrrrr.

The motor is a 1970, Dove c heads, Dive block.

D1VE block is at least '71, but prior to '79. Are the pistons stock?

[mark F-100]

Had the block bored 30 thou. Just ordered  right sized pistons.The new ones are what I would call flat top. There a little diff. from orig. Your right Bobby, I forgot I got the motor from  a friend of my dads for 75$ out of a 71 merc 27 years ago.
