Love this thread and never thought about responding till now. I agree with the pwr/wt issue and when you start talking about engine wt, the I6...
Thanks mate! BTW, is the XG 4.0 the first of the OHC 6's? --X
Do any of y'all know the L x W x H of a XF Falcon EFI 4.1L crossflow 6? Thinking about using one for a project but not sure if it will be too...
Interesting build but sure not inexpensive, even for a big buck build. Changing the BS is big bucks....wonder how he handled the rod spacing and...
You'll never punch a Ford 427 out to 4.5". The FE/FT engine only had a 4.63" bore spacing. About the biggest you will bore a 427 is 4.27" and...
Awe c'mon, Cahokia is just slightly across the river from you.
Cool thread, here's some of the stuff I've seen over the years: Vette Fuelie 327 and Muncie 4spd in a bone stock 1957 4dr Chevy wagon Buick...
I have the other one....the one that rhythms with 'Aimless'. There are two wires marked "horn", one goes to the column and one to the horn....
Hum, the harness has a horn relay. I was curious if anyone has had a similar problem when using a universal harness in an old Ford.
I've been rewiring my Falcon with a popular "universal" street rod harness. Older Fords ran power both up and down the column to activate the...
While it would take more work, I like the trunk lid hinges on Honda Civics. Those have a hydro-strut to push the lid up but they also use the...
I wouldn't even waste my time with the old log-head. Classic Inlines sells an updated, alloy head based on the Aussie 2V head. This uses a...
Nice. Is that an Aussie head or an Argie head on there?
I was reading an older thread and one of the posters mentioned milling down the mounting surface so you can use a standard flywheel. I don't...
dennis g Watch craiglist and racingjunk.com for the FMS Cobra Jet alloy heads. These have been on the market for about 20 yrs, maybe more,...
Wouldn't swapping an aftermarket alloy 429/460 solve the compression problem? You may raise the static compression a little but the head would...
One, when I was 15. A street Cobra with the 428PI mill that had been built for track duty. 4 Webers, full S/C trim, and north of 550hp. I about...
Thanks guys. I got online and dug up a Ford diagram and the 2-wire jamb switches just run power. All bulbs are grounded to the interior...
Ok gents, I'm a single digit midget over here in Asscrackistan and I'll be home soon. I want to get a few wiring projects wrapped up before I put...
The early Nissan V8's were the OHV, 4bbl Y-series which looks like a traditional US V8. It was only 4ltr but was built from the 1960's to...
The early Jap V8s had traditional dizzys....I've seen a few swaps overseas using the Toyota 4.0 V8 from I think the early 1980's. These came out...
Kaase won the EMC this year with that same, but with dual 4bbls, 400. The 400 has won 2x and came in 2nd one time. The big Cad 472/500 wieghs...
That and INDY Cylinder Heads are making a lot of cool parts for them, to include a new block.
Yep, the 351M/400 aren't the strange bastardized motors people think. It's a tall deck Cleveland. True, they use the 429/460 bellhousing but...
HaHaHa. Heard a Scout owner aurgue with a counter-monkey that his IH had an IH motor but the kid kept telling him it was an AMC 304. I've got a...
Dude, I've thought and thought and I can't think of any car that I couldn't find something I thought needed change.
I'll wiegh in here.... Forgotten engines should include the big Ford MEL engines 410-430-462. The powered the Mercury-Edsel-Lincolns for...
There was a review of this carb over at the Ford Muscle e-zine site. They seemed to have liked it and said it ran great.
Hey this is pretty cool. I grew up not far from Ruston and went to La Tech. Haven't been back to La. in a very long time, looks like it's time...
Unfortunately, they only make the "Euro-style" plates for Australia.
