The B cam isn't same as stock HO. Kerry has good info...good plan to follow what he says. Stock HO short block pistons were not designed for long...
If you didn't use a solid (non hydraulic) lifter when you checked clearance, the hydraulic lifter will be full of air and only open the valve...
Smaller bore = easier to push but pedal travel is longer. Larger bore= harder to push but shorter travel. Lots of things to consider ...pedal...
If you saw good oil pressure (and felt the drill "pull" hard) those lifters will fill right away when started. No worries.
But it has EAB heads. You need it! ;)
If you are ever going to run this thing hard, that 1/4" line will be a problem. At least 5/16" from the fuel to the carb....all the way...and no...
Stock HO cams- '85-'88 E5ZE-6250-AA '89-'95 E8ZE-6250-CA or F1ZE-6250-AA You'll need lifters, spider and dogbones for these, and shorter...
Stock Ford H.O. will run very well with your setup.
Seb, If you can get 24" of vac with your pump and setup that's excellent. It'll be a fine valve job. Well done.!
Exactly...at this point the problem is not the cam, unless it's installed WAY wrong. And folks...the man said he is NOT using roller lifters on a...
The cam that's in it: "Rough idle, wide midrange power band. Requires 2,500+ stall, 9.5:1 and higher compression, and gearing. Bracket race cam."...
No, that's incorrect. The 89 engine would have had 13726548. Correct on the current cam being 15426378.
Maybe give Moldex a call. 12255 Wormer, Redford, MI, United States, Michigan [IMG] (313) 387-6099 [IMG] [email protected]
You kicked butt on that job. Well done!
Guys....he knows he put the wrong threaded metric fitting into the 1/8" female port. Now he is asking if correcting the problem by installing the...
My '41 Merc trans came out with the rear mount/retainer installed. Barely, but it came out.
Doesn't look as stupid as the time back in high school when I did the same on my '61 Falcon but didn't cut out for headlights. :eek::(
I 'm gonna copy the audio and put it on a loop.
I'll bet that's a 360. But...It'll make a 390 with crank and piston swap. Having been on propane the heads may need a lot of work. Still a good...
That's a proper hot rod sound! ;)
There's nothing to balance on the heads (just match marking for reassembly), and the rods, pistons, etc won't be affected at all by marking with...
And the sound with 3 1/2" open collectors is SO big and low it's amazing. ;)
Nope, not hot rod material. The T coupe in my avatar only went 9.50 at 139 mph with one.
Quote: "Well, I checked the oil gauge WITHOUT the filter attached on the engine stand. How did you restrict the oil? Machine a fitting with a...

It isn't the aluminum heads that make retorque on a flathead necessary, it's the relatively low torque and the fairly "soft" construction of the...
The recommendation to use Graphtite gaskets from Best Gasket is a good one. You'll likely find that they are the right choice for your...
The restrictor in the oil supply to a bypass style filter should be approx 1/16" (.060"). BUT if your oil pressure on the gauge was not reading...
Yep, seal is bass ackward.
