I would expect the next step is to source all missing parts and create a correct rebuilt long block. Yes?

Question, Did you tip your hand about the engines origin or did the seller want the big number regardless?

So this is the cat that scribbles boxes with a sharpe.

I think Bob is referring to the bottom leaf with the engineering data and date codes.

I must have missed the part where they checked oil and coolant levels and condition.

If you have the heads re worked to R model specs then even the 715 works as it should.

Penngrade 80w-90 GL4

Didnt Stirling Moss call him a Bloody Wanker for a prank photo set up.

Were the aux pushrod guides used in addition to the factory narrowed apertures on the Valley hipo heads?

Somehow I dont think that 18 mil property assessment is gonna fly.

Yes, the third wire should be attached to the base of the socket. Are those assembly housings aftermarket?

When you checked the grounding points did you physically disassemble & clean them? Just a visual inspection can be misleading. Also wiggle the wiring to see if the strands are weak or broken beneath the insulation. 50+ year old wiring can get brittle. If that pans out then check the connections at the T/S switch and H/L switches and connections between those and the T/S lamps. Still sounds like a bad connection or ground to me, possible corrosion issue.

Weld up the aperture, drill, retap. Professionally completed you cant see any repair.

On Concours Mustang.Com page 84 top of the page, Jeff posted some pics for sticker placement 69 dearborn cars. Some pics should be helpful.

It might be lighting anomaly but sorta appears to be a crack in the LH leading flange on the T10 @ 18:29.
