Looks like both our PO's are backyard mechanic innovators. LOL An update to my saga, after spending all the time and $$$ on the engine, trans, TC, brakes, axle parts, tires, I ended up with a FJ60 chassis with a good running drivetrain newer tires and better looking rims than I had. Also has PS...

I wish I paid attention when the head was off to see when #1 & 6 were at TDC if the cam and crank timing gear marks lined up. I'm wondering if I have a F2 cam in my F engine. Anyone know if there is a difference between F engine cam and F2 cam how the woodruff key slot is clocked. If this is...
