The valve cover spacers were actually over $100 so I bought some tall covers and the plenum spacer from summit this morning. Hopefully I can sell the other covers.

The taller valve covers fixed the problem and I did not end up even needing an intake spacer, so I sent it back to Summit.
Drove it around today and the motor runs fine. But the trans mights have issues. I have the proper amount of fluid in it, but I have to give it gas for 2-3 seconds before it slowly grabs 1rst. It also won't shift into 2nd without playing with the throttle.
The brakes suck still, adjustable p-valve and a good bleeding are in order.

i dont know anything about ford trannys. does it have a throttle valve?
It has been sitting a little while, a fluid and filter change may be in order.

It is not building enough pressure to shift I think.
Is $800-1000 typical of a rebuild? And that is me taking the trans too them!
TCI transmissions are $2000, but apparently someone on ebay sells them for $699? Sounds fishy.

I must have missed the above posts. I can not even remember his name. He drove a black F150 with several large guns on the gunrack. He did the welding for me for the front crossmember and the boxing of the front part of the frame. Nice guy. I know his initials are JWB b/c he welded them onto the inner side of the boxed frame.

It is back in CS. I finally know what 4 wheel disc brakes should feel like. I is sooo much better with the F350 MC/booster.
The new trans is funny though right now. It will not shift into 2nd until like 4500 rpms, but when it does, it feels goodKevin, the owner of Trans Specialties, built it and said he put some sort of hd clutches in it and a shift kit. I do not think it needed the "shift kit", but could that be what is causing it? I think it might need some sort of adjustment? to the kickdown cable?

sounds like exactly what my 700r4 did before i got the TV cable adjusted properly. if its too loose it shifts very softly and burns clutches. if its too tight it will shift a little bit too hard and late. if its not connected, it will shift insanely hard and very late. its like the failsafe to save the innards in any throttle position.
I put new cooler lines on after the little fire on Sunday. They are zip tied out of the way like I HAD them before I had someone else install it.
The trans crossmember has slots for the bolts. I guess when it was reinstalled, it was put slightly further forward, which caused the front d-shaft to grind against it. I heard it, but just said **** it for the day. Well it has a nice groove all around it where it contacts and probably is very close to breaking. Think how those little tubing cutters for brake lines works, and that is what is looks like now. I have a spare, but one of the ears is tatered.
If its is not one thing, its another.
Bumpers are next, then the PSC stuff I have been puting off for years. After that, only repairs to existing crap, no more new stuff.

Picked it up from Trans Specialties today. Apparently the kickdown cable was installed backwards. I do not understand how that happened, but nonetheless, it runs awesome with the new motor and properly shifting transmission. Who wants to race
Swapped my spare front driveshaft in and notched the crossmember.

I think I had to flip the bracket around when I went EFI, was that what they had backwards?
...
I need to pick this thing up from its current resting place to prepare for the Alto trip. Unfortunately, my buddy that has done all the metal work can't do the bumpers before October. I can live without a front bumper, but I really need something on the back. If anyone has some time over a couple weekends, I could use some assistance. And by assistance, I mean I do not have a welder, nor can I weld or fabricate
Probably something simple with a mount for a 8000lb winch.
