    What would the compression be

    Hemi, Great chart, thanks. Ford was notorious for exaggerating compression ratios. Usually .75-1.0 points. Chuck

    Odd Rocker Arm

    This may be a false recollection but, I think the fulcrums on the 351C 2V, and 351M were a different material than the 351C 4V, Boss 351, and Boss 302. I want to say the 2V fulcrums were weaker. Chuck

    Painting, chrome wheels magnum 500

    I have no idea how Ford did it. I have never painted chrome wheels but I have painted chrome parts with success. If there are significant blemishes they will need to be sanded with progressively finer paper ending with 320 grit. Wash and dry. Sand the entire surface starting with 320 ending with...

    351c q code rebuild

    As MAD IRISHMAN said, find a competent machine shop to help with selecting parts. The most common problem with "kits" is the pistons will not have the correct compression distance (pin in the wrong place) and the piston ends up .020-.030 down the bore at TDC. This cause loss of compression and...

    Engine failure after 20000 km.

    " however, my Mustang would then lose its registration as a classic car. " That sounds crazy to me, however I know the TUV can be a serious pain. Do they know how to tell a FMX from an AOD? I do know Daniel D. and Michael have T-5 transmissions in their muscle cars. Maybe ask them how they got...

    Engine failure after 20000 km.

    Frank, As bad as it is, it could have been MUCH worse. At least you don't have a window in the block. Oliver P. may know someone willing to replace the seats. Also Abudi in Wien may know someone. The CHI heads are indeed great. However they seem to be overkill for how you use the car. If you...

    Rear end gears

    What Don C said. I've used gears from several companies, no noise problems but, all of these cars were loud soooo.... All these gears were made in America when that was still common, maybe it still is. Chuck

    Add Ford kick down to Holley HP carb 80528

    Just a follow up on this post. The kick down arrived earlier than promised and I bought the kick down lever from "Kick Down Rods and More". Quality parts and good communication. I installed and adjusted the kick down screw per the Ford manual. The kick down function works as it should and, I...

    BFG Radial T/A vs Cooper Cobra for smooth ride

    The Goodyear Eagle GT and GT II were pretty good tires as well. The BFGs look the part but, a lot less traction under acceleration than the Goodyears. The BFGs do ride fine. EDIT: http://nankangtyres.com.au/tyre/n729/
