Perfect fit! Thanks again!

Thanks very very much!

I know this thread is a little old, but does anyone know what bolt is used for the smaller 351 4V heat shield?   I have the shorter/smaller one that StangLover has in the second pic in his post above.  It has a smaller bolt that goes into the manifold itself and not from a stud on the block. I...

Thanks,  I'll post my updates!

Fair enough.   I've  been  wondering about that!   So I re-read the info on the car and the motor came out of a 73 Torino 351C CJ  car.   If my  memory serves me, didn't the  73 Clevelands  take regular fuel?  Hmm.   I appreciate the help and ideas!

Exxon 93 and Lead additive per tank since it was done back in the day.   I  don't know if it had hardened seats, but the last owner only put about 1000-2000 miles on it since the 83 rebuild when it was parked in  84.  He would start it from time to time, but never really drove it between 1984 to...

I  actually got a NOS one six months ago and replaced it.  Made the garage smell better but not much on the driving smell.   Thanks again!

Ahh!  Thanks for that.   Right in front of me!

I  think we have a winner on this one!  I'll enjoy it!  I've been having really bad un-burnt fuel smell issues (I don't mind it, but the fam doesn't like riding in it)  and I  wanted to see if  I could dig up info on the cam, etc from the parts list.   I've set the idle mixture, timing is pretty...

So I found a GM similar piston to the part number -- SEALED POWER L2403NF and I get your point about no rods or crankshaft in the  receipt.   Thanks!

I actually  knew the guys  that did  the build and they were huge Ford/Cougar 351W guys.  They convinced the guy who had it rebuilt to put in the aftermarket  Sealed Power  Boss 351-like cam .    Who knows if they would've used Chevy parts but not a bad idea to figure out the part number.  ...

I  was wondering if  anyone  had any thoughts on my motor build and help identifying a  part  number.     I recently found the  rebuild receipt that  came with my  72  Mach  1.   The motor is a 351C and the parts list date is 9/2/1983.   Since  the  car sat for  30 years it is a  fairly  fresh ...

My 72 had black crinkle paint covers that were looking tired.   I searched the web and found a Australian eBay seller: restocountry and the listing was for: Ford V8 351 Cleveland Rocker Cover +Gaskets POWER BY FORD XW XY XA +XB XC XD XE They were listed as new and not very cheap, but I...

Thanks for the help everyone!  I took the axles to a local garage, got the bearings pressed on, and installed the axles a few hours ago.  The noise is gone and the car has no noises from the rear end!   Of course it was dark and now my front turn signals don't work but the interior dash lights...

Awesome!  I have all of the parts I need then.  Thanks again for the help!

Thanks for the response!  So, I guess just a basic question... Does the collar need to fit into the housing as shown on my driver's side and be a tight fit?  Or is it just the bearing that takes the load and the collar just holds it on the axle?

My 72 had been sitting in a garage since 1985 and it literally had only been rolled onto tow beds since I got it two years ago.  I am slowing getting it back on the road but I've only gone a few miles -- I hear a consistent scrape, scrape, scape sound from the passenger side rear that sounded...

Hmm.  So a new pair of these as Hooker Competition is 233 or so.  Now I'll put them in the rainy day shed if no one needs them...  :)  Thanks for the help!

These came with my 72 Mach 1 when I got it and the previous owner told me that they've been off the car since 1985 when it was parked.   Not sure if these are worth anything or if shipping would be too much to bother.  But I have a large box and it all fits. Open to offers but I'd like to get...
