motor changing+H/C/I tutorial

chrismillion · Sep 6, 2004

many people on here have been swaping thier on engines and doing H/C/I. i feel that a tutorial step by step should be put up. piece by piece and nut by nut(even which size tool needed). this way everybody can get familiar about there car and save tons of money at the same time. this motor changing+H/C/I tutorial should be put right up there by the 94/95 FAQ's and the 1/4 mile time indefinitely. i hope a moderator see's this and ask for everyone's help to achieve this goal. this thread will be bumped often until i see some results.

something called INTERNET like YAHOO.COM or whatever.

im sure you can find a personal build site somewhere on the WWW.

goodluck, its not TOO hard..

I suggest you go buy the now on sale 261piece craftsman tool set for $200 with case and it should have every tool you need minus a harmonic balancer puller.

And a torque wrench.

All of our haynes or chiltons manuals have a break down instruction....some better than the other but its a starting point.

And i dont care what book you read, its always better to have someone who has done it to be able to help you out when you need it.

That would be a very long tutorial. Plus there are so many different combos out there, fitting things in would be variable. I had major valve cover issues with my Trick Flow heads, that the AFR head guys didn't have. A Chilton or Haynes manual would be your best bet.

What problems did you have with the TFS heads? How did you solve it?

I am going with these so whatever help ahead of time is appreciated.

You'll find practically everything you need to know with a Chilton or Haynes manual. The only things you need to know is you need a T-50 torx bit for the idler pulley and a power steering pulley puller to get the bolt behind the pulley off. Rent a harmonic balancer puller and you're set. It will probably take a little while your first time, but it gets quicker and quicker each time, obviously.

This thread has a few pointer, no pics anymore though.

i'm not ready, cause i got to get the motor first. this isn't directed to me, but everyone here on stangnet. not only that, after you get the new block and/or new H/C/I we can save money by not buying the book. i have a haynes manual always sitting right besides me when i'm online, when i go to school , hell pretty much whenever i leave the house.

I'll say what the techs at Ford told me when I worked their in high school and I quote "All you need is tools and common sense."
