Which would be an f53 chassis. Doesn't matter- it got the F4TE head with the filled-in exhaust ports, same....
99% sure that manifold is for the late head from 89 or so up truck applications. On those, the exh ports are shrunk and moved upward relative to...
Moroso (brand) grout (cement) type filler is overwhelmingly the most popular with e drag race engine builders I know. It is said you can fill an...
Yes, you need studs with a much longer block end threead length. Carrol Carter at C&C has them. Prepare your needed dimensions, phone his...
Still think a rather ...confrontational...poster, who is paying someone else to cut up a nice vintage car... is not what this forum is about. Just...
This is good advice. I run my (OT?) 1963 Volvo Pv544 this way.
Interesting that the outpot doesn't seem to be on the crank centerline?(or are flathead blocks that deep?) Usually that means a gear reduction...
Cool rigs, both of you. but.. in my opinion, both would be much cooler with some type of at least "retro" styled wheel.
Lots of Ford 300 sixes came with AC. Not sure of your comment that it was a possible pitfall?
I bet your project is moving faster than mine. Changed jobs 5 times, relationships, yadda yadda. Close to 9 years now, I think. The supercharged...
as far as the Cam gear- no it is not in common with anything else. The chain is, but that doesn't help. And no, oil pumps are nothing like Ford...
The Stock core flat tappet designs marked NEW will "just" work on .874" Ford lifter diameter. You know... as long as nothing goes wrong. And...
Unless I missed a reply, I still don't know who has billet cams- in the market generally and here specifically. Ness&From Racing do. Its a dry...
My block already has the little (1/4 inch?) studs on the pan rail for the tube, so it having this other pump would likely have come from the...
No idea the age of the motor. ser # 6102563 As said: "So, I have in the mail, (thanks to that big auction site) one supposedly reusable "typical"...
Here are some pics: This pump I have (& the pump close ups can be see at the eBay link right after)[ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
The solution for page 46&47's gearbox input length worries, was for me a 94-98 Mustang T5. they have a longer input shaft. Within about .070" of...
If you look back in this thread, my short block which has been mocked up (assembled w/o rings or final torque values), checked to work, but not...
Why not? You should. Probably a tubing reproduction, but if you avoid doing something that obvious, you void your right to complain about engine...
I have a huge (3/4" thick" aluminum plate) I have chamfered the bottom 0.7" at the 8*deg of the intake flange relative to the block gallery. So...
My engine is in my... living room... boom-tsk... Naw, seriously, it is. Kaase Boss9 head, Manley 5.4L conrods (the I beam type), Diamond pistons....
Also, Beck- I would look at the OE mounting of the block. The actual torque of the engine is not that great in the broader picture of the...
early in the thread there is a guy with an A441 (race hemi) head with a full deck plate (the liners poke up through a plate that goes all the way...
I've got mine at 4.40" which isn't all that common a ring size (you can special order pistons set by set, but you can't special order rings in...
I mentioned the Puerto Rican "Mitsubishi" drag car, a 1999 magazine article about which got stuck in my head, and eventually, I guess got me into...
No. The Ford 460 bottom end looks quite a bit different. However it is not hard to design a main girdle as the Mercruiser main cap bolt bosses and...
Ah.. but your new head has a small crack as well...?
Nope Jeep 4L missing a couple cyl. GM 60* bellhousing pattern. Not sure but I think the previous poster saying it had much in common with the...
Noted bike builder (and too-cool self promoter) Fuller's Garage has taken over a project illustrated in the first 10 pgs of this thread, after the...
