I appreciate the generosity of your response. Most folks (read: my 80 yr. old dad, but that's a long story with a lot of history beginning with my late brother's '69 coupe many, many years ago...) hear you're even touching a 302 equipped Ford and cringe a little and sort of start backing away slowly, disengaging themselves with as much dignity as haste will allow. Okay, but seriously, my only friend with this sort of weird bent for Fox body 5.0 punishment has an '89 LX 5.0 (he ordered new) that has had, mmm, I'd say 5 or 6 engine configurations over the last few years (latest, but currently torn back down being, I believe, a Motorsport 351 with twin turbo that was running mid 10's on pump gas), but his shop and repair calendar are understandably full.
I believe I will finish this fairly quickly (ha, ha, ha, ha, whew... eheh) Sunday if the weather clears by then, and I am going to attempt to take some digital pics; however, the camera (i.e. cheap) is not good at all with close ups, so no guarantees. I actually have not been trying to rush (much) through this project, so the difference in time between the "manual" and this method I beleive is irrelevant at this point. If (yes purists, I said if), this method proves to be viable, I would not estimate it taking longer than the "manual" method the first time and it will take far less time to do again when necessary.
