Good info ebstang, just re-read the entire post from beginning to end and actually learned a few things. That is difficult to do as I get older, but it does happen...
I would also like to apologize to 4x4 for taking over his original post, I was just looking for thermostat information for our...
As some of you may know I have inquired here regarding a few special issues/quirks of the 351C 4V. And this is in regard to a very stock rebuild not to exceed about 5700 rpm.
This is what I believe I now understand:
1. Front cam bearing should have no more than a .003-.005 setback from the...
I am such a geek for the B/RB mopars. Every time you post a picture of the motor I just drool.
And I would like to mention that I really appreciate all the information I have received and learned on this forum, and have also noticed that a bunch of ford guys are not snobby about having us...

It looks like it will be a twin of this engine and am really envious, but not envious of the tuning on the six pack that will be inevitable...
I was going to run buy there during lunch today, but wasn't feeling too good. I am going to attempt to get some pictures tomorrow, stay tuned... Hope it...
I really like the stripe that is added in Eric's inspiration picture, but it is his car and he can do what he wants. Besides, he is a paint and body man and can probably change it over a long weekend.

Good evening everyone,
