Figure on replacing all the water hoses and stock clamps, and especially the fuel lines which were not made to withstand oxygenated fuels of today and will crack, then catch fire. There are two short heater hoses under the dash that can rupture, then scald your foot & fog up the windshield, usually at high speeds. Several cars have been wrecked from this Also closely observe the carb as gaskets once wet with gas, then dried out, will shrink, so the carb may need rebuilding (and if its a stock Motorcraft, GOOD LUCK!) For safety's sake, you might want to look into changing the brake hoses, too. The calipers will undoubtably have multiple stuck pistons but disassembly & cleaning will fix that.
