UPDATE............finally
well i've got a cracked head or head gasket.....so i've decided to take this project in a new direction. it's gonna be a RESTORATION now instead of a BUILD. i got this BII when i turned 16 and i wanna make it nice again. i'm gonna start by rebuilding the 2.9L. i'm gonna put a small lift on it, get a manual t-case, some 31's, probably regear and redo the interior.
napa has a rebuild kit for $600 that includes everything you need and they'll check out your old block and heads and stuff to make sure everything is ok. you can also subtract stuff off the kit to make it cheaper - which is nice, cause i just replaced the plugs, wires, water pump, alternator and t-stat.
here's the progress so far:
gonna paint some stuff ford blue, intake and valve covers so far
