It's not his album or thread we're having trouble finding, it's the link to the 32 valve install that someone else apparently posted. Anyway, I sent Jeff a pm asking if he knew where it was..hopefully we'll know later today. Also called Owens salvage/flat top Bob on the Hamb. He wasn't in, but the gal took my number and will have him call. I'm trying to find out if they have '57 Fords there so we can add him to our salvage yard list. I was hoping it was a yard that allowed you to roam, but apparently it isn't....was going to be my next daytrip if they have '57's as it's only a few hours from here...not much sense in going there if I can't get in to roam and take pics.
10 a.m. ....my garage is almost warm enough to work in.

OK guys I figured it out. The link was on the hamb, "1958 ford custom, who else has one?"  Page 4, post #72 Some of the pics are 6 years old, maybe you saw it already.  http://www.carbuff.net/57_ford   he has a mustang dash in it, and looks like a fatman frame on the front, makes the engine swap a little easier.  Enjoy, Mark

Thanks for your time Mark...I'll check it out. I may be wrong, but a Fatman setup on the front end should only change the engine mount situation and the small clearance problem with the stock upper control arms. Most everything else should be the same . should still be lots useful info there..we'll take a look and see. hmmm. maybe oil pan and oil filter bracket  may be different also.

Man, I wish people would supply hot links when they find stuff.  Still had to do a lot of searching around for the right place.

That guy had parts to sell in the summer of 2011.  Jeff Norwell directed him to this site.

Tom. Thanks for posting the links. I sure like the drivetrain on that. Just when I was talking myself out of a dohc!! hmmm.
It sounds like the guy that posted the pics inherited the car unfinished, and "isn't familiar with '57's", and is/was selling it last year. confusing post he did.
Man, if I had the bucks, which I don't, I'd sure like to meld his frame/drivetrain onto my body and interior....not that there's anything wrong with his body or colors, I just like mine better. It looks like that car started with a pretty solid body. Really pretty car. Wonder where it's at now?

Tom, my computer skills are survival at best. I copied the link and posted it, sorry it didn't work.

EDIT: I fixed it.

No biggie, Frankie, & nothing personal.  I copied your link & saw the album , but I wanted to see some of the other '57 & '58 Ford stuff there too.

I don?t know how many times I have seen where someone on another site I am on is looking for a part & somebody chimes in with "There's one on ebay right now!"  But they don?t give a link to it or even a description of the wording in the ad when they had obviously just seen it.    Drives me nuts.


ps:  I want your Ranchero!

WHAT??  You want to deprive me of the fun of looking!  That would be like paying someone to build your car.  They get all the fun!
