Don't start nothin', won't be nothin'. :naughty:
Personally, I think his muffler bearings have seized, causing the exhaust to back up into the crankcase... Could just be a banana in the tailpipe...
My 74 was pretty much dead even with my cousin's 68 289 with an Edel Performer cam. I question the exact year the profile changed. Of course, I'm...
Paul, I know they retarded the cam by 4*, but aside from that, I don't know of any differences. Do you have any information on the actual cut of...
SAE Net was measured at the rear of the tranny with all accessories on and functioning. Got a Chiltons book 2 feet away that says so. In all...
And on the other side of that coin, my dad's old car had a 4100 600cfm on a 352 that ran like mad, same carb I now have on my 302. Unless you're...
Engine Analyzer 3.0 is what I use. Pretty honkin close if you put in the right info. www.performancetrends.com Doesn't appear they still offer...
I agree, but we'd have to tear it down to get the numbers now. In 68, Ford had a lot of parts swapping going around.
Don't have the numbers myself. The crank and rods were checked by his machinist, said they were 289. Guy knows his stuff on everything else we've...
But they were produced with leftover parts. My cousin's block has 302 stamped on it. 289 crank and rods, now a 292...
Keep in mind, 74-76 or so had much lower compression ratio and the camshaft retarded by 4 degrees on the 302. That will lower the numbers. Not...
Pretty close. I started with a 600 CFM Holley, ran a 750 VS for a while, went to a 4100 600CFM and she loves it. Never looking back.
I used a Pertronix for years until I hotwired the car to start it without a dash. Didn't think about the resister in line and put 12v straight to...
Also, like the E7's, rated at 64cc chambers, the old heads were often actually measured at 58cc.
Check the 68 carefully. My cousin's 289 has 302 stamped on the block, 1.78 and 1.45 valves with a 289 crank and rods. 68 got some parts swapped...
I was already thinking that. I wanna have the option to turn it over 6250 without worrying about balance issues.
Something it doesn't seem anyone else has covered, is it possible you have a blockage in the block? Thats all I can come up with on mine. Same...
Its been awhile, shes been in parts for a couple of years, but the main vibration is when you're on the road. It has a cyclic vibration in the...
Same here. I think my kids have a shot at being the first to drive my Comet out of the shop. I'll be too damn broken to turn the ignition by the...
Should work, but my 7.5 experience is limited to say the least. As far as I know, Ford only produced one 7.5 rear, although, being Ford, probably...
