That's similar to the pattern. I've never seen a sbc crank with the pattern shown on the flywheel. Could have been a weight plate. Or maybe a...
I built the 283 a few years ago. I'd like to balance it but, then I'd have to take it apart and start over. LOL :) Thanks everyone.
I just want to make sure it isn't for external balance 400 sbc etc. I dont see a balance pad on the back but, the front has a series of drilled...
I bought a combo of 4 spd muncie, shifter, scatter shield, flywheel, clutch, pressure plate. I've id'd the parts except the flywheel. It has the...
It runs! After all the checking, the muffler was clogged. What a headache. LOL
Ok, This Ford is blowing my mind. It will start and run. Runs smooth at first, then has reversion through the carb. It will not take any throttle....
I made one of those years ago. :) It wont work for the flathead ford six though. The plug hole is not over the piston. [ATTACH]
I've got the timing now set to tdc. If the cam gear is correct I should be good.
Thanks for the info on the pointers. The engine was restored when the truck was done. Everything is like new. According to the owner, it has never...
How can go about that. The sparkplug hole is over the valves. I tried sticking a wire to verify the piston is at tdc. Only other way is to pull...
I've done the thumb over the plug hole to find compression stroke. Then I lined the balancer timing mark to the closest pointer on the timing...
I'm needing some info on the setting of the timing on a 1950 F-1 226 engine. The timing cover has two pointers on it. Which one is correct for...
Here's my fun beater. Nothing fancy. Made with leftover parts. :)[ATTACH]
Just found this thread. Watching, looking good!
I thought about that today too. #8 port is right inline with the box. Just a few inches forward would free up a lot of space. What year Ranchero,...
That is a thought!. Going to pull the SBC today and put the SBF back in. I'll do some more checking.
You use the Tri-Y? What year Falcon?
The 289 does look at home in there. :) [ATTACH]
I'll check those out. I don't mind building a set but, I can't TIG so I'd have to farm out welding. The fox body headers dump right at the...
I have a 66 289 and a d4 code C4. I'm undecided on what to do. [ATTACH]
I agree. I have a chevy SBC sitting in it now with Chevy II headers just to see if it works better. Still would have a problem with pan sump...
I'm building a gasser type 61 Falcon. I've searched the web and this forum for fenderwell headers for a SBF 289. Haven't found a pair yet. I've...
Yes sir that's it! I measured the same thing this morning. I should be able to just cut the shaft and use the MW/1350 yoke I have. Problem solved! :)
I'm going to look at that tomorrow. It's only about 2" difference. I might get away with just cutting the long shaft down.
Yes they did. I'm only using the planetary. I have to use a SFI aftermarket case.
I thought about that too. I'll call and see how thick the yoke is. I have a lathe to cut it down.
Thanks!!! I called Strange today. They told me they didn't make them? I'll call again tomorrow. EDIT: That won't work either. The OD on the slip...
Thanks, That is what I need to do. A slip yoke direct to the 8 3/4 Mopar. The 8 3/4 has a MW 1350 size u-joint yoke. I have a 16 spline PG slip...
I have the 16 spline count. I thought it was 10. :) What I have is a mopar 8 3/8 rear with a 1350 yoke. I need to adapt the PG that has the mid...
I tried them. No such animal. He did have a 1310 size yoke. He told me the spline count was 16 too.
