Default Re: W30's.. Help needed.

The biggest thing is its missing the "lift loop"....and its not very likely at all that it was missing from the factory...unless its a Toronado (it would have been removed for clearance)...thats how they got the engines in the cars....and according to factory engineering drawings, and every low mile 442 or W-30 I've seen, it should be there..the bypass hose looks like it has the wrong clamps too..there is an extra clip mounted towards the rear of the drivers side valve cover...only 4 speed cars should have that.....these are just things I can tell from the somewhat low-res photos. There are other things, but I dont want to use these posts to pick at the car so I will leave it at that...I'd be more than happy to discuss this stuff off the board...again, its a great car, its just not exactly untouched...
