Tripod, $28
Bogus, have you looked into a vendor account? I have a sneaking suspicion you would have half a dozen BPs show up in the mail in the first 2 months alone. I don't know how busy you are, but business is business.
I've got at least one oldschool machine shop guy here in town that I trust to build stuff, but he is unGODLY expensive and takes FOR EVAR to get anything done. It took him 4 months to do seats, guides, valves and deck on the FE heads I sent him for my truck because his "buddies" kept coming in and asking for favors. Everyone else around here is a bunch of monkeys with belt sanders.

FE heads? How many pairs do you want? LOL I started out machine work on old school ford, could be why I am such a stickler for valve tip heights.
To get FE built right it is expensive, normally all new valves and guides, 8 hard exh seats,surface the HG and exh sides of the head, plus broken bolts... about $700-800

A pair of 427 Shelby Cobra heads I did.
As far as being a vendor.. I will think on that.
Let me get a few more things done on Aarones build and see how that goes.

Hahaha! Yeah, add another 15-20% and that's what I ended up paying for mine... but still, 4 months for a basic rebuild on a set of D2TEs? (Or D3, can't remember) Its not like I was having him drop CJ valves in it or anything. That truck is such a nightmare project... I do <3 the Duraspark distributor though, points systems can go to hell. Do you have any idea how hard it was to find someone who 1) owns a SUN distributor machine and 2) knows how to use it? FML.
But yeah, look into becoming a sponsor.

Oh, I did! Ford only put Duraspark dizzies in the FE for the 75 and 76 model years before they discontinued the FE in 76. The 75 hardware & electronics are specific to 75 production, the 76 electronics (other than the distributor body, obviously) is interchangeable with anything from a 302 to a 460. My truck is a 73 so I never had the Duraspark electronics to start with. I managed to get my mits on a 76 Duraspark distributor, have it properly rebuilt and recurved, and then used the stock Duraspark triggers with a MSD 6A I had buried in the garage. Crank to prime, pump it twice, she starts with no more than 3 rotations of the crank. I love Autolite carbs too ![](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Now, if I could only manage to get more than 8mpg out of it...

Why don't you send me one of those AND a complete set of Jesel shaft rockers for err... testing. For you, no cost. I will sacrafice my time and do you this favor for free. That would make a great replacement for the PLASTIC Ford cam gear in my FE
Not only will it QUADRUPLE the value of my truck, I'll probably pick up 2-3mpg to boot!
DO IT! FOR SCIENCE!
But in all seriousness, that's straight up sex right there

I heart the old FE's they are so easy to work on and pretty much bulletproof, my dads
Cant find the older pics of it, but it used to a be a 3x2 Barrel setup with some original Shelby america valve covers and air cleaner plates. still have the shelby america stuff, he just wanted some shinny under there i guess![Dunno](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
