    Expired GT40 Heads and intake, 2.3t engine, T5 etc!

    Thanks for trying. They do get shipped out via other suppliers so someone must do it. Likely UPS ground. If you don't sell them soon let me know. Thanks again. Chris

    Expired GT40 Heads and intake, 2.3t engine, T5 etc!

    Hi, I'm looking for a set of GT40 heads. Don't need the intake etc, just the heads. Would need to be shipped to 98281 though. Can you tell me what shipping would cost? They're for a carb'd 5.0HO in a 65 Fastback project. Let me know. Thx, Chris

    Engine Valve Spring Question

    Yes this is my first engine build so I'm a little overcautious about things which I think is probably a good thing. The block is already a roller. It's a 1987 5.0HO. Was a low mileage block and there was no ridge at the top of the cylinders whatsoever. Factory crosshatching still visible...

    Engine Valve Spring Question

    I think you're right horsesense, thanks. The retainers on the aluminum heads are right at the top of the valve stems and the retainers on the stock heads sit approx 3/16" down the valve stem which makes that even worse. Wonder if there are performance springs for stock heads??

    Engine Valve Spring Question

    Ok so here's my dilemma. I had a set of aluminum heads (freebies) for my motor. They were from a buddy who was doing a TR6 and sold the project. Now that I'm doing the motor I have realized that the heads have been milled alot and the intake valve is sitting just up from the deck. Too much for...

    need help

    AAW is the kit I am going to use on mine. You need to figure out how far out your wiring is f#@ked and then decide if you want to go with a replacement OEM style to fix what the kid did.....OR....just replace the 40+year old wiring with a new set-up. Depends on budget too.

    Is an EGR needed on an old school street motor?

    Now thinking of using the Weiand 8124. Apparently it's good for about 14hp more over the 2121 (once I get the right heads on).

    Is an EGR needed on an old school street motor?

    Got my block back from the machine shop. Everything checked out really good. It is a low mileage block which mag'd good, deck checked out perfect for warp-age, and still on stock bore :) . New cam bearings are in and it's now sporting a fresh coat of 'chevy killer' black :uzi: . I am in the...

    Engine Question On Heads - Ford Motorsport

    Here's a pic of the deck on my heads. Does this look ok for a street motor? Piston to Valve clearance is what I'm concerned about. Cam I'm thinking of is a Comp 35-440-8 lift is .512.

    Is an EGR needed on an old school street motor?

    Hi All, Getting ready to order all my rebuild bits for the 5.0 block. I need to order a new intake and am just thinking of something like the Edelbrock 2121 dual plane. look at the intakes most say available with or w/o EGR. My question is: Can anyone explain to me if EGR is needed on an old...

    1968 Coupe - Fast back conversion

    How many of these have you done? Looks like you have it down to a science at this point, nice work. I look at how fast you get things done and then look at mine thats been in my garage for 6 years now and still isn't on the road :(. Do you have any pics of one that you have finished and sold...

    Engine Question On Heads - Ford Motorsport

    Thanks for the tip, I am going to try that. If P-V clearance is too close I always have the stock heads to fall back on. Could always use those until the future when budget allows for more upgrades. Thanks again!!!!

    Engine Question On Heads - Ford Motorsport

    Thanks guys. I am re-using the stock 5.0 forged pistons b/c the block is really in good shape. Not even a ridge at the top of the cylinder sleeve and the cross hatching is still easily visible. The stock pistons have the valve reliefs in them which I'm hoping will be just enough to make it work...

    Engine Question On Heads - Ford Motorsport

    The heads I have are older aluminum type but were apparently good in their day. Better than stock anyway. They are Ford Motorsports M-6049-J302. I am new to the engine build thing and have a couple of basic questions. Q1 - These heads have been decked pretty much to their limit I think. If...

    1965 289 Timing Cover on a 1987 5.0HO

    Thanks horsesense. The part number on the timing chain cover I have is: C50E-6059-A1 so that's a 65. I didn't realize there was a diff between a 65 and 66 water pump. So I guess if I use standard pulleys (not serp) then a standard rotation water pump would be in order right. I have also heard...
