I spy a yellow New Edge (Terminator maybe?) in that storage container. Front bumper cover looks like an 03/04 Cobra.

Those are some kewl old models. I was sitting on a 97 FS like the blue one and also a 67 Camaro, but just haven't brought myself to doing them. I'm thinking of donating them to some group who do those kinds of builds. I see them asking for old models all the time on the local Craigslist, so I think I'll just do that.

I gave away so many toys 3 weeks ago before I got sick. There must of been 50 stuffed animals, a whole bunch of preschool kids Hasbro type items, and about 200 Thomas the train pieces. I figured the AWAKE centers for battered women and children could use them, so that's where they went. The attendants were so pleased. They were letting the kids get into them before I hardly had them on the ground. Sometimes I surprise myself. LOL I was going to give them to the Goodwill or SA, but they sell them, so the poorer kids get left out. This way the ones who really need something, got them, no charge.

I second this, AK. Back in Ohio, we'd donate home items to the local battered women's shelter for the same reasons.

I agree 100%. The places like GW and SA and other thrift stores need to make money to keep the doors open. Giving to the women's shelters is by far the best and most logical way to get something to the kids without all the middle men. Kudo's to you and your family for doing the same thing.

I have a full file cabinet more of Jr's old toys that will be going to another women's shelter here, call Illisions. They do great work for women and kids, so they are going to get some goodies when I get my truck back on Monday/Tuesday. I never had much as a kid, (grandparents on a limited budget), so I know how these kids feel. I've got 4 9 or 10 inch tablets, and if they can have them, they'll get them too. I want to make sure the kids get them, and not the office help, before dropping those kinds of things off.

. Yep! It's an 03 cobra! Man I forgot how many models I had lol. When I get them all out again I'll take some more pics. And no worries on the escape, I haven't had time to look still but sitting in the parking lot waiting for my wife I glanced at the temp... ya NO WAY that's right

Yeah that's nice of ya! I'm sure those places appreciate the donations a little bit more than stores like goodwill!

I looked up where the sensor for the ambient temp is on the Escapes. It is behind the grille, a bit to the right and in front of the radiator to get the actual outside air temp.

Thinking of putting these heads on the 351....

Any opinions fellers? Compression ratio would be 9.2:1 with these heads.

I don't know anything about them but that that compression ratio would work well with boost!

Yeah, I know I said you don't need it, but...
