[DeTomaso] Remote oil filter setup

[adin at frontier.net]

boyd,

Just for fun, you should do a little research on the ford pushrod  
motors - you'll save yourself some grief.

Some things you will want to know:  how to tell the two different 351  
motors from each other;  what is a cleveland, m motor????  what is the  
difference in the two families of "big block" fords???? (when you say  
"big block" everyone thinks one thing - from parts monkies to cam mfg.  
- and its probably wrong.)
Finally, learn how to get parts for your Pantera!  If you ask for a  
Pantera part you probably won't get squat (insert old parts man rant  
here) but if you know to ask for a thermostat for a 1971 Mustang w/  
cleveland motor you'll be happy.

just my opinion . . . .

David in Durango, more effing fords than you can shake a stick at.
