Or the bushings in the distributor body galled and siezed....personally done that one before.

That sounds wicked man great job!!

The real answer is what is it worth to you....Start low like $250. Its a used engine you dont know if it has good rings or knocks or low oil pressure. Of course you hope its good and of course he will say its good but till you get it running you wont know for sure what you've bought so buy low...

Are the fans spinning in the correct direction? Another excellent fan is the police/crown vic/lincoln fan and 99 Taurus 6cyl wagon. The taurus fan is available for about 120 new at advanced auto parts. I use Afco 2 pass radiators on my builds and never run hot even with ac running in south FL...

since you have to open it up drop in a roller cam man..

I am glad you found this info helpful, there is nothing worse than investing in something only to be dissappointed by false advertising or not getting full disclosure when shopping a product. Keep us apprised wit your build, I am doing one now for a 69 Thunderbird im restoring. Bought some...

If money is not an issue go with MassFlo EFI, its 4K but you get everything for the conversion (intake, harness, dist, coil, injectors, throttle body, o2 sensors, fuel rails the works). For a stock to mild engine the MSD is very good, then Fast and hve not used powerjection or edel. The poster...

Jeff, thanks I think? nah just kidding. I came to this site because I embrace technolgy and love applying it to my classics. Thats why Im always touting 4R70W's, EFI, 4 wheel Discs, Better gauges, automatic headlights, HID lighting and so on. I feel welcomed here because others have the same...

OK now Im just glad to help and I believe in standing behind my word(and products).

4R70W man, you get all that fixed and its still spinning hard at 80 mph. I used 3.70 gears x 26" tall tire and 4R70W and 2200 at 75mph. Low gears dig like mad too. Whole swap will run 12-1300. $200-400 used trans, controller wiring mounts 850+-

I have to make this point, an engine - any engine, does not know how the air and fuel is being delivered. I think sequential port is the best and now direct injection puts it IN the chamber directly so those engineers have upped the game again, more power more economy. I have Used MassFlo EFI...

Ditch the box and blaster coil, had IDENTICAL problem. Switched to stand alone dist. with mallory coil and fixed it...may fix yours too? Went to EFI shortly after since I was never really happy with the carb.

If you are going to rebuild it correctly there will be some machinework and cam bearings to replace so I would also suggest you tear it down and have everything hot tanked at a machineshop. They can do your valve job, install cam brgs., freeze plugs and hone the block as well as check the crank...

I have used the crane cams screw in studs with guide plates and had Zero problems with the setup. Remember you must use a hardened pushrod when using guide plates.

Stainless does not mean stronger as there are many grades in both steel, SS, Titanium, Chrome Moly steel etc. ARP is your best bet for strength as its geared for automotive uses and therefore tested against heat cycling and bolt stretch so they(ARP) will choose the highest tensile strength...

Detroit true trac is quiet and efficent no oil additives needed and no clutches to wear out. Used 4 so far with no problems at all.

When properly installed and set up( it has to be programmed as part of teh installation verification process) the systems work really really well, it however cannot be overcharged or improperly installed and work effectively. Best advice go through the booklet and verify the work was done...

I guess its not a bad idea to change all the lines but "typically" the contamination is from the uncoated cast iron mc and calipers themselves however there is also a chance the lines can contribute to this if they have begun to corrode as well,...great point!

I have done this and used the high efficiency condenser and evaporator with great success. The condenser makes a big difference mainly because of the size of the tubes and high fin count which is the key to heat transfer out of the 134 coolant gas.

comp cams roller cam(mid to aggressive grins), roller rockers and 750 cfm carb or efi, mid length or short headders ,hot ignition not a cd box. I think you will see 430 flywheel hp easily.
