The best place to find a 9" 28 spline carrier with 3:50 gears or lower is to look at pre 71 Ford F100 pickups. Ford put out alot of 3:50 ratio gears in the F100 pickups. I had a 67 F100, 240 6 that had a 9", 3:50 locker in it. My poor truck got wrecked and sent to the junkyard, some person run a...

What the....did a Nash have sex with a Caddy and this is their love child?????Inquiring minds want to know......

Maybe I should do that with mine after all the hoopla I been through trying to get the correct one for my car.

The neutral safety switch that I bought has on pigtail, I need one that has two pig tails. This is a picture of the one I bought.

I recently bought a new neutral safety switch for my 73 Mustang and the one I bought the wrong one. The car originally had a 302 but I changed the engine out to a 351W and kept it a c4 trans. The switch I bought is a Motorcraft SW 1615 , it is suppose to be for a C4 trans. car but it has only...

What I did for my 460 in my 78 F250 is I bent a PVC tube out of mild steel and used two short pieces of hose to connect it. I also used a spacer on my 460 so I could use a Eelbrock square bore carb. The spacer I used had a port for the PVC in the front so this is why mine went the way it did...

Ok, what is the difference between the 73 mounts and 71-72??? I currently have a 73 and changed the engine back in late Aug. and it looked like any other small block motor mount.

It would be good to get away for a while, an AC charge would be a good thing to do while there. But your right maybe Mexico would not be a place to go, it has become a much more in-hospital place. It has been a while since I been down that way, but I don't remember it taking that long. I went to...

When I get my car up and running, factory AC, I will probably just bite the bullet ang go with R12. Though I have heard that you can go to Mexico and get your ac charged for next to nothing, maybe a old wives tale. If it is true I would do it since I am only 1 1/2 hours from NM(Raton) and maybe...

I think I need a another hot of acid.....oh the colors.....the colors, hahhahah........that poor car,lol.

I am lost too what is freeze 12???

I have not done anything on my engine since my grandmother died only five days ago. I will update on my engine progress when things get better.

The Granada, Monarch, Verseille is not as beefy as a spindle as the 71-73 Mustangs disc brake spindles. I am not sure on this I will have to look, I have a set of Granada and 71 Mach spindles in my shed. I also think the caliper is mounted on the front of the spindle on the Granada and the...

It will get the job done, not the most powerful engine in stock form. A few hop up parts will make a improvement on power, headers and dual exhaust will give you the most ump with a 73 engine. The 73 302 had pretty low compression, so sticking in a cam and four barrel carb on it wont do much. If...

I know the pistons are right, I watched the machinist measure and verify them. The pistons are Forged Probes and they are supposed to be installed with .002-.005 wall clearance, so the machinist and I agreed to go .004 on them. The instructions on the Probe ring gap says .016 for the top ring...

You all have nice engines and compartments, I feel kind of ashamed of mine. I cleaned the engine all up and painted it nice but I didn't do anything to the crusty engine compartment. This is right after I got it installed, I still did not have everything hooked up at the time. It is a stock 5.8...

I didn't get the camshaft endplay checked today, but I did get the crank cleaned up with the main bearings installed. After I installed the crank I checked the rings and ran into some problems. The ring gaps are too tight. I tried three different rings on four different bores and I came up with...

That is exactly what I needed to know, thank you very much.

On a SB Ford is the camshaft end play affected by how deep the rear cam plug sits? Does the cam even touch the rear plug? Is all the end play in the camshaft retainer plate and timing gear? Does anybody know how much endplay I should have with a hydraulic roller cam in a 95 351W?

I have heard good and bad about windage trays. The good is it keeps oil from being thrown all over the place reducing oil aeration, freeing up some HP. The bad is, windage trays do such a good job that the lifters and camshaft suffer from reduced oil splash. I hear they can speed up wear on flat...
