That's exactly where Ford said the extra four pounds of iron is, thicker decks and semi-siamesed bores ( at the bottoms)SoCalCruising said:I have read that the difference between the 85 (E5AE-HA) and 86 (E6SE-DC) is that Ford partially siamesed the cylinders in 86 - which would account for the increase in weight between the two. The change was designed to strengthen the block/bores.

You kids should go back to your buzboms or be spanked.
Hey I have an idea, go get a 260 ford, its the same block, right Lman
Well to tell you the truth ( and this is for those old enough to remember this line in the movie "Cool Hand Luke"SoCalCruising said:I don't get it. Really. TOM B insults the "buzbom" crowd ... LMAN wants to know what buzbom is ... 66 coupe gives it a shot with reference to the V1 ... and Tom B gets in a huff. What gives?
Well it's 4am here and this is my "Monday" to go to work, so y'all will have to wait on the cylinder bore length measurement on the 302 I have till at least Sunday. Possibly till Tuesday.Bonestock2k said:Hello to D.Hearne and any others that remember me - Had a 65 289 block in the garage - measured the length of the cylinder bore at 5.065" with 6" calipers - hope this helps.
