    Expired Eagle Forged Rods For 302

    A couple years ago I picked these up on ebay, they are new stock 5.090 length forged rods for a 302. I changed my mind about what I'm going to do with the motor so I want to sell them now. On the side of each rod "SCR 5090 FB" is lightly stamped. Asking $100 + 12.65 shipping. That is fair IMO...

    FE Build 289 Pushrod length

    I ordered some pushrods for my '66 289 and they are about 1/8" shorter than the ones that I have in the motor currently. After doing some research I found out that 63-68 289/302s had a 6.803" length pushrod. '69 and up had a 6.876" pushrod, that seems to be the pushrod I have in my motor right...

    Engine 289 connecting rod

    I was taking apart my '66 289 and noticed that the connecting rods don't have oil holes in them but the bearings have holes. Found this a bit odd, is it normal? Thanks and Merry Christmas

    Engine Oil pump for 289

    My 67 289 has somewhat low oil pressure at idle when warmed up (about 15 psi). I would like that to be at least above 20 at idle when warm. I'm thinking about putting in a high volume oil pump to help with that problem. Looking for input on this idea. What about a high pressure pump? Thanks...

    Replacing Rocker Arm Stud 289

    Somehow, one the #2 cylinder intake rocker got extremely loose and got sideways. In the process it managed to bend a pushrod and mess up a lifter. The worst part is that the rocker cut gouges in the rocker arm stud so when the rocker is adjusted it still has a lot of side to side play. I want to...

    Ford 8" Rebuild

    My differential has a ton of play in the driveshaft and its time for a rebuild. Does anyone know how or know of a good place that can rebuild the differential in the Houston area? I'd be up for rebuilding it myself if I knew how or had a good guide to go by. Thanks, Ranger

The bendix pump says only automatic trans fluid but the instructions that came with the kit say "clean...
