Thank you Duke5A. Will do that tomorrow. BTW how do you like the Sniper?

Put my air cleaner on. The 400 have a Holley 3310, adaptor plate and rpm intake. Hight is 7.5 inches from the stick and top of lid on photo. Looks to tall to fit under hood. Hope the Sniper efi dont ned the plate or I have to go back to factory intake. Input welcome.

Good info on air cleaners Nick's Garage - Air Cleaner Identification

I got my car like thirty yers ago and drow it as a famely car for a year and stored it. Well, a little progress: got my steering shaft shortend to fit PS shuck.

Will put on my Sniper efi but will start it on carb and brake it in. Nice to se the blue motor and orange air cleaner! Well, my project been slow latley. Mutch work and other things in life. But trans is now rebuild and engine is compleate and redy to install. Made a big misstake believing it...

I have the 50- 3122. Booster and master cylindern in the same box but whitout reservoar. And ofcours the one I have out of a b- van, do not fit.. Did a little measurements. The hole in de booster rod is 4 mm larger then fork and its bolt. The fork is 4.5 mm wider then the rod. An easy fix.

The two photos in post 9, I think, is from my Volare 77 original slant car. Now 400 bb and hp exhoust manifolds. The original booster fit but tight as you kan see. Not possible to remove valve cover. I also got a tandem booster but think it was for a Daytona turbo, not sure. The hole at the end...

Ok, nice if so. Lots of Aspen and Volare was sold in Sweden.

Am I the only swdish member?

Lots of good info BudW and others on the 8.8 swap! Delite or not to delite the ISO-stuff is the question. Time, cost, local parts access and other consequences is all parameters in the equation. In stock form the car has always had the issue with non centerd axle (7.25) in wheelhouse. I did...

How mutch of a difference did it made going from druns to discs in the rear in every day driving, part from the cool factor?

Finaly got the 8.8 home. Sure is havey. Neighbots see two grown up men wrestleing a big pice of iron out of a SW. Temted to get on wiht the axle rightaway but must put it aside and finish the motor first. Was told my valve springs was comming soon.

Yes, the 3.73 vill stay for now and be tested. I try to keep the project move forward and not to let it stop trying to omtimize every little thing at the same time. Done that mistake before. Not time to buy rims and tiers yet but the interest is growing. Like the steel police wheels in semi...

Well, lucky me!(I hope..) Today I went to the nerest used parts yard having a 8.8 just 20 miles away. The guy told me it was a -93 Explorer 3L73. Yes it got drums but seems complete, minus prop shaft, and looks nice for it's age. Will pick it up tomorrow and do a clouser inspection. Hope to be...

Thank you all for very good info on the 8.8 subject! Now I have to digest all this information and concider how to continue. Hope to get a few days of before christmas to go axle hunting. Just two examples so you guys can compare how lucky you are buying parts: Out fore sale is exactly twenty...
