I see hooker sells supe comp for late 60s fairlane, torino w/ 429/460. Anyone ever hear of these fitting into t-bird of same vintage?
Won't know 'till I order and try. I've got a 68-71 Lincoln Mark III 460, they say its the same frame arrangement as 67+ T-bird. |
 | 390 Upgrade -- Packman, 07/15/2003
Getting ready to install intake, carb, cam and lifters. I have read the discussion threads on this forum about using the victor reinz gaskets for the heads. What should I use on the valve covers and intake? Anything special to keep the big block 390 from leaking oil around the intake and valve cover areas? Anything else I should know before I do this upgrade in my 73 F100 with a stock 390? |

A 428cj with emmisions, does the tag go under the coil bracket or on top of the coil bracket and emmisssions tube bracket?

It should be under the coil bracket but over the emissions tube support.

| 427 med riser eng -- dan, 07/15/2003
if a 427 block and C5AE-F med riser heads have casting dates of 5J7 for block,and 5J27/28 for heads is this a date macthed set ?and what car would they have come from.block is a top oiler solid liter only.thanks for any help.dan. |
| | Sounds like a boat application or service block.g -- Royce Peterson, 07/15/2003
The block from a late '65 427 Galaxie would be a side oiler but marine applications could have used MR heads on a top oiler block or it could be the block was replaced. Thirty eight years down the road it doesn't matter much, all the parts are desirable and nice to own. No way they came together in a car though.

| What Headers? -- Roessel, 07/14/2003
Has anybody installed Edelbrock #6006 aluminum heads on a 390 in a '68 Mustang? It's a tight squeeze. What Headers should I use? |
| VCT solenoid -- Benno, 07/14/2003
I have a Contour with the Zetec engine.
The VCT solenoid is not working (Resistance is infinite).
1) Is there a way to just replace the solenoid or do I have to replace the whole assemply?
Where do I get a replacement part? I can't find anything at Fords or Motocrafts web parts store.
2) Is it normal, that the camshaft is flipping forward by the pressure of the valve when a cam goes past the maximum opening position? Isn't the VCT mechanism supposed to be spring loaded so that it also would work without oil pressure?
Does anyone know?
Thanks, Benno. |

I've never herd of a VCT selonid......
Valve Control Timing? OR VTC Valve Timing Control? Is this Variable Cam Timing?
Sometimes a part can have one name in a book but goes by a more common name other places. It's Motorcraft too...... |
| 406 Oil Pressure Relief Valve -- Bo Fabre, 07/14/2003
As a follow-up to a post I made last week, I removed trans and clutch/flywheel over weekend to get to pressure relief valve and found valve assembled incorrectly as suspected by John Saxton. Corrected assembly as per drawings provided by Shoe, put everything back together and fired engine. Now have 45 psi cold idle, maintains 25-30 hot idle with approx 60 @ 2500 rpm, and climbs with rpm. Thanks for the help. Bo |

| PI Intake for 390? -- Patrick, 07/14/2003
Hi all,
Looking for advice....I have a 68 FB GT 390...to add more performance/efficiency with least amount of hard core engine work...should I switch my intake with a 428 PI or even a 390 PI?? Does this make sense..and can you confirm that any FE intake will fit my 390??
Thanks so much! -Patrick,NY |
| | The 'PI' or any intake for 'low-rise' ports will match up, fine. [n/m] -- Mr F, 07/14/2003
