Pillage and Plunder

Most of today was spent at the junk yard.  Out of all the 1987 to 1991 F150 and 250's we only found one with a 351 windsor in it.  That's 5.8 liter for you metric folks.  Thank goodness Doug attended the event because I ended finding just about everything I was looking for:

AOD Block and Inspection Plate.
AOD Yoke
AOD Cross Member
A serpentine drive system with pulley's, brackets and all the do dad's.
Clutch fan to match

It took us about 2.5 hours to get it all to the counter and after a long debate over a broken power steering pump I wasn't going to pay for, we spent another 45 minutes checking out.  

Earlier in the week I managed to get the fire wall cover permanently mounted and secured the dash pad with its 13 nuts.



To secure the fire wall cover I used elevator bolts I found at Lowes

The washer nut came from Lowes as well and a little silicone waterproofed the hole.
