Buy these from Robb Mc , summit sells lakewood branded ones like these and just a pair of those cost a little more than buying all 3 offsets from Robb.


The old lakewoods that are marked Mopar/Ford and NOT Mopar , they are .500 which is Ford , Mopars are .496.


I agree with ALL said. if you remove the plugs you might be able to rotate the motor using the pressure plate bolts following the ARC of the FW with a box end wrench. One can also install the starter and use a remote switch beer
