    Cam Comparison

    351 heads... I'm placing the lifter order today out of Jegs - I guess I planned to just go with what ever quality solid lifters had a good price. Ford Racing maybe? I have 1.6 Crane Rockers. And no - I HATE to admit it, but I didn't check valve to piston clearance. I assumed that...

    Thanks everyone for your advice & recomendations!:nice: I decided on the Crower & installed it yesterday. Being that this will be mainly & weekend car - why not? ( I'm also kind of excited about having a "pretty nasty lope at idle" as bnickel put it ) If it ends up being a problem I'll...

    Cam Comparison

    The car primarily will be used for Sunday drives on the Blue Ridge Hwy & other back roads with the wife but I definately plan on taking it to the track as well. I'm a little concerned about the loss of bottom end torque though - the car allready has a pretty tall 1st gear ( good up to about...

    Cam Comparison

    I HOPE this dosen't come off as some lame cam question - but here it goes... I'm trying to decide whether or not it would be worth it to install a new cam while I still have the timing cover off. The cam that came in the car when purchased is a Crane hydraulic. Advertised Duration...

    Remote Oil-Filter Adapter

    Out of the zillion things that I photo documented before disassembling my engine bay for restoration, my remote oil filter adapter seems to be the one item ( first item so far anyway, LOL ) that escaped the camera. Can anyone help me identify which is the inlet & which is the outlet for...

    Polished Valve Covers???

    Unless I hear otherwise in the next day or so I think I'm just going to give clearing them with some "engine enamel clear" a try... I'll prep by wiping them down with some acetone to remove all the polish residue and then hose em' down with the clear. The worst thing that could happen is...

    Polished Valve Covers???

    Ok - So I've spent what seems like an eternity stripping of all this ugly-flaking blue paint that was so generously applied by the PO. The un-painted surfaces were all nice & coroded & required quite a bunch of extra attention as well! Well now that I finally have them all cleaned up & a...

    Rocker Arm Adjustment

    My question is in regards to the amount of resistance that you should FEEL in the push-rod when tightening the rocker? I'm probably being a bit anal here but there seems to be quite a " grey-area " when adjusting rocker arms. For instance - the instructions that came with the rockers (...

    Engine paint

    LOL! I know exactly what you mean... My engine-bay project started out as a simple header install? Here's what that got me. http://max348.rob.googlepages.com/home If it would only warm up a little I could finish it. ( I need a garage )

    Need Help Locating Timing Cover

    Then this would end up becoming a $160 paper-weight... LOL! Unfortunately it won't work with the new cover that I have. I'm starting to think that I'm just going to take my chances with the old one - I'll just use a little extra RTV where the deeper pits are. I might even try to fill &...

    Need Help Locating Timing Cover

    The 6019-1A cover is actually sitting beside be right now. I ordered it last week from NPD ( excellent service ) & that's when I discovered that I've got this odd-ball cover / pump combination. Their sales rep that I spoke with yesterday walked through the warehouse looking at different covers...

    Need Help Locating Timing Cover

    *UPDATE* Ok - Here's what I just found out by cross-referencing Eldebrock's part number for the Eldebrock water-pump that I am using. Apparently it's a K-Code HIPO timing cover...:shrug: The bad part is, I still can not find a replacement cover anywhere. Are there any K-Code people...

    Timing Cover

    Having just moved from FL ( I've lived there my whole life ) I know exactly what a hurricane emblem looks like...:nice: Living in Louisianna I guess you have seen a few too! El Hurricane: Heres the back-side of the water pump: What is the " backing-plate " that you are...

    Timing Cover

    Casting Numbers: Timing Cover C4AE - 6059 B ( FoMoCo ) ( Sheffield ) Water Pump 884-2 ( Edelbrock ) After doing some research on Edelbrock's site, I determined that the water pump is for a 65 - 67 289. Looking at NPD they offer two different covers. One is for the 65 - 67 289 w/...

    Timing Cover

    I know, this is kind of a lame thread - But... When I removed my timing cover this morning I noticed a nice crack leading off from one of the bolt holes. It looks like the PO attempted repair with some RTV.:eek: I started shopping around for a replacment & have found prices anywhere from...
