      How much can you get the rear sway bar for? Shipping would probably kill me but I might be interested in it if I can get the money together.

      only MSD multi-spark so far but hopefully a 351 on the way.

        And if you're working on the ground, back pain. Though it is very doable. It's not too bad though. Only thing I didn't like was blindly removing the oil pump & assembly. Installation of that was a bitch too.

          Its very bad........

          PS...1991grandmarquis; I went on Saturday and took a look at that PI, the gauge pod on the steering wheel is an aftermarket one, the factory PI ones are mounted above the glove box. Thing looked decent overall, interior was a little torn up and engine had some issues (missing distibuter, fan shroud is in pieces), and its just the basic 5.0 I was hoping to see a carbed 351.

            The guy that installed my new oil pan/pump swore he'll never agree to do an oil pan on one of these cars again Only took like two days to get my car back to me, I think he had to lift the engine a few inches but not all of the way out.

              Fan shroud was me... It was sleeting and I needed to get the puller on that pulley, although I try to not destroy everything. Just got some new goods today though check my RR, I should have pics up in a bit.

                My '90 P72 has the original stacked plate oil cooler, and the heavy duty lines. They do not leak. However, to replicate such a system with the proper hoses, adapter, etc, would be quite spendy. Like others said; its not neceassary, but I understand your desire to have one.

                    What exactly does the oil cooler have to do with the oil pan? You don't remove the pan to install an oil cooler. You remove the oil filter, and the thingy that threads into the block that the filter normally spins onto. It requires a socket, not oil pan removal.

                    Unrelated, but I just came across a NOS oil cooler adapter plate for 30 bucks on ebay. No mounting hardware or any of that though. That funky bolt that goes through the middle of it is probably unobtanium, and its totally useless without it.

                            Just a FYI, if you decide to do the oil cooler, the lines for it are nothing more than -10AN lines. You can make them with a section of braided -10 hose and the appropriate ends. Both my stock oil cooler and the lines were going to hell, so I bought a small B&M cooler and made new lines for it.
