got a chance today to go parts hunting.a person i know has a few 57-59 fords.trying to get a heater control,59 signal light switch,and a 59 hood latch you guys say is better

once you use the hood latch, you will see the difference.

Man, I put the '59 latch on mine a week or so ago....unbelievable difference!

I'm put a 4.6 swap into my 57 ford and I'm going to use the 5 speed transmission,  I was just wondering if anyone else used the 5 speed transmission and what clutch pedal set did you use? Thanks for the help

I'm sure you will, but while you're in there check the two electrical wire connectors that run under the intake.

here are some of the tools you need to replace valve seals and install the cobra springs

got the bearings and the cams in along with cleaning and painting.the cams have a smaller base circle so you need to set the lifter preload[32 times]so it takes a little time
