Well crap... I thought I was going nuts - but I'm not. The lifters said "Made in Mexico" on the box, and I coulda sworn I read USA when I was looking at them. I was right.

 

It was bad enough they hung out from the intake and looked like caca, but when I saw them protruding into the intake runner openings? Yeah, no. I can't says that I do.

 

Dude.... what the hell is this? Someone posted this on my local Stang board.

 

Oh H E L L NO

 

Agreed.... I'm sick now.

 

Mustang envy!

 

So 97 f150 had the shift indicator plastic broke, fixed it but the other issue (that caused me to fix this) is the truck won't start in P (cable can't reach anyway) truck will crank in N with foot on the brake (battery is dead so don't know if it'll run yet) but also the shift lever doesn't like to sit in any gear and I can just tap on the lever and will push from N to D... what's going on? Broken gear or something? Is that related to the not cranking in P? NSS problem? Idk

Trying to help the father in law while I'm in town,

Got the Percy's header gaskets today.... kinda different. They are 6 layers of metal for each gasket. These are supposed to never blow out, never leak, and are reusable.
