Sorry - Just getting back to looking at this... damn work gets in the way.I'm not worried about having to move spring mounts, etc.. Just looking mainly to see if anyone has done this, what they ran into, etc.Anyone know what the front WMS-WMS measurements are... mine is buried in the snow...

1984 F250, 460, 4 speed - bought for my son for $700 new t-stat, water pump, flushed radiator, new water temp guage.T-stat opens at 180*, I can tell by the sudden drop in water temp, but the temp rises and falls between 190* and 220* on a consistent basis and only when driving.Out of ideas...
