I brought home a SBC in the back seat of my 37 Packard, another time I carried a 16" ford rim in a backpack on my motorcycle.
I have used it to free sticky valves on 3 L head engines. 2 of the engine had old gas and I believe varnish build up on the valves. 1 had new...
Brake clean , small squirt on the tight spot. If the rim is rusted or pitted I use other stuff.
[IMG] If this is the same car this is what it looked like when I saw it raced at Road America. This was a few years ago.
The 223, 262, and 242 diesel (Ford 6000) shared many internal engine parts.

I had a 4 bbl. Teapot on a 55 292 and it did not have any flat spots. Fuel mileage suffered when it started to leak gas but a kit fixed that. New...
I think 55 Corvette V8 and 55 passenger car with Std. transmission had solids. Powerglide V8 in 55 had Hyd. lifters. I could be wrong.
On my 312 I always set lash with engine at slow idle. I don't have jam nuts on mine so that makes it easier. You also know right now if tappet...
When at wits end I have used a jack hammer with a flat blade to break the bead.
In 1966 used Cobra and XKE were equal in price. Between $2,000.00 and $3,000.00 with the norm about 24- 27 hundred. I ended up with AC ACE for...

My Catalog lists 2931 as 5 on 4 1/2 . No guarantees, check and double check. My 1971 Napa catalog does list a 10 3/4 5 on 4 bolt pattern.
The K5075 and K5077 fit 63 -70 Buicks but not the Skylark. Skylark 61-63 lower is # K 593 for adjustable and K 5085 for std. design. These are...

AFIK the F/C van box is different. Many of the car box parts interchange but not all.

Motor's says 3 BTDC.
Be sure you have the later cast iron block and not the early COBRA block.
