    Finally took oil pan off.........

    Finally had time to pull the pan off my 351W with 600 miles on it that had #7 piston tap my head after a few 6000rpm limiter bounced runs. The bearing spun and one shell was essentially riding on top of the other...hence the sloppiness and tapping. Both shells have their ends...

    Auto Tranny makes squealing noise!

    It has less than 60,000miles. When I took it apart to do the 1-2, 2-3 acc piston changes, I found the 1-2 spring was broken and there was shrapnel in the bore....?weather any of this got into the clutches? I think/hope the filter would get it? Anyway, I might try the lucas stuff....is it...

    Auto Tranny makes squealing noise!

    I just noticed yesterday that my auto tranny makes a squeal like a loose fanbelt on wide open throttle shifts. I added a cooler and switched over to mercon v as well as replaced the 1-2 accumulator and left out the springs in the 1-2 and 3-4 accumulators. I think it is clutch pack...

    Help me build a 351w/393/408??????

    Dartman: you make a good point, many people will think that same thought, but, I can assure you it is not an oil related failure. I will try and post pictures when it is out and in my hands. Any way, I owe you an appology for the poor choice of words to respond to your shortblock...

    Help me build a 351w/393/408??????

    Thank you. That is good to know. As far as buying a used engine that has track time.......I am leary......when you have $7000.00 plus into paint, I hate to chip or ding it with an engine removal. This is why I am hopefully building a bulletproof motor that will outlast the car. Perhaps I...

    Not real sure.....bottom end is in engine bay awaiting my removal.....had #7 piston tap on my aluminum head after a few hard 6000rpm rev limited (msd 6al) runs. It was a completely fresh motor with 500 to 600 miles on it. There is slop in the rod bearing, so it needs a rebuild. This is in...
