My Daddywagon

Nice! I like it.

 

Thanks! I have 2 more for the cargo side windows, but now I am thinking that might be tacky and overkill.

 

I am gonna replace the 302 with a 351 windsor. Maybe next week if I can find the time. I have one sitting.

 

I love your build and very happy to see your still at it four years later. Most start a project but soon realize that it won't get done by just sitting there with a beer in you hand dreaming about it. It's hard work that costs money but well worth the effort. This is a hobby, artistic craftsmanship and special skill set that tells the world "look at what I created"

Great work DaddyWagon!

 

Thank you for the praise! It does take some time and money. I am definitely with you on the “look what I created” and I can appreciate what others have created. All of what I have done to the wagon has been accomplished on fox bodies before. The shared knowledge of others through magazines and forums, etc. makes these projects possible. While I share with the “look at me” in mind, I hope someone is out there planning an SHO tempo or an ls saturn wagon. Maybe a mid-engine wagon!

 

I removed heads for inspection. Pistons are icky!

 

I brushed them with some soapy water.

 

They cleaned up.

 

Actually, you could've run Seafoam through the engine, got the same results. But you pulled the heads to replace them? Or just replace the head gaskets?

 

Just inspecting a motor I bought a few years ago. Just head gaskets.

 

Oh, I thought you'd torn into the one in the the DW. My apologies.

 

No apology necessary! Actually I was considering Seafoam for the wagon.

 

Will the 351 in the above photos be going in the Daddywagon?

 

Yes. That is the plan. Haha!

 

What I really want to build is a higher compression long rod 351w. For now I am settling for a 351w out of a ford lightning. I replaced the camshaft with a stock mustang camshaft and the previous owner of the engine had already installed cobra roller rockers.
