Carter M3528 or Airtex 3450. If you want a more typical looking "Ford" pump with the long lower chambers, Carter M6984. The Holley and Carter FE...
Mmmmm....Y block power....
The line can be cut & re-flared...I would (personally speaking) double-flare it as was the factory line. However...depending on how the line is...
Any way to tell what brand the old filter was, by scraping off paint or whatnot?
They usually sit "straight up", if that makes sense, rather than be twisted like yours. If you can, try loosening up the tank straps and pushing...
Are you going through the access hole in the floor? It's tight, but doable with a wrench to hold the fitting and a tubing wrench for the line....
This. Use a Napa Gold (Wix), or a Baldwin, or a Motorcraft, if the Wix isn't available. Beyond that, it's probably time to pull the pan and...
What weight of oil is in it (if known)? Also, what brand of pil filter?
Good guess, but Harland Sharp actually IS Harland Sharp. :D Harlan Fengler went on to become the Chief Steward of the Indianapolis 500 for many...
Yep. Now, who was he and who was his partner...and what did his partner go on to do?
When looking at the long history of Cragar, and all the changes in ownership, manufacturing locations, etc., nothing would surprise me anymore...
I owned two different sets of Cragars in the early '80s with the recessed oval slots...(shrugs)
Looking at the original Photobucket picture, it appears as if he has the later style unilugs with round washer holes, so he would need the round...
John Kelly's web site (with disc-in-action pictures: ) http://www.ghiaspecialties.com/
You should be using either round offset washers, or oval offset washers (depending on the particular wheel), if your wheels are unilug. It looks...
The cabs are the same (and for the F series, the same from 100-900). On the F series, the fenders are different for the larger trucks, but on the...
OP, If I'm understanding your post correctly, you're not questioning the price per se....you are wondering if the G heads are "all that" as...
Broader Performance can build one: http://www.broaderperformance.com/en/25-ford-c4- JPT has been sold, and apparently is no longer the business...
So far as I know, there are no reproductions of the grille itself. The "hockey stick" bars and the star (six cyl.) and the V8 emblems are...
Yep, pistons and crank...which is why anybody doing even a basic stock rebuild should just go ahead and convert a 351M to a 400...it's actually...
Yours? What do the engine mount patterns look like on that one?
Only side note to this is that the 400 has a unique motor mount pattern, and the BBF (385 Series) trans pattern, which may make a difference for...
First, a clarification, then an answer. :) It's just a 400...the only "M" is the 351M. '70-'74 400s use a couple of head casting numbers, but...
Tetraethyl lead is close to the last chemical compound that we would want to bring back....believe me...
One thing to remember (and you may already know this ;) ) is that, if the Fairlane currently has the original 221-260-289 in it, it has a...
Actually, diesel trucks seem to be becoming the new ricers.
There are still a reasonable number of Metros around, and parts/info are not too difficult to find. ;) The IH drivetrains are reliable and fairly...
If you mean the 255 SBF, it was an attempt to build a small V8 that made smog standards with decent mpg, in the pre-electronics era...much like...
GM 12495490 is a complete self-aligning set with pivot balls & nuts for about $65-70. Again, though, I believe you will have to switch the...
Vortecs come with screw-in studs...at least, some/most of them do....there may be some castings that didn't at one point or another. Those appear...
