 RE: Using a HP/HV pump, by chance? -- Gerry Proctor, 01/25/2002
With 10-30 oil and that pressure, you've at least got a HP/HV pump or your gauge is reading wrong. The smart money says it's the pump. I have a HV/HP Milodon pump in mine with 10-40 oil. Cold, I hold 80psi at 1,200 rpm on a rather loose engine. Other possibilities are very tight bearings, system blockage, etc...but you'd normally experience other problems.

Marty,

You may want to replace the K&N filter with a long style Dodge truck filter from NAPA that will give you 1.4 quarts in the filter if you have the small pan with a hv pump.

Chuck, thanks for the tip on the Dodge oil filter from NAPA. As far as the K&N, I was refering to the air filter.

The head is iron, the block is iron. I doubt the head gasket can tell which side is which.

All you gotta worry about on the head gasket is that the large water opening is in the rear and the teeny one is up front, and that the "dowel holes" line up.

There is no such thing as a passenger-side and a drivers-side head gasket for the FE. They all work on any side.

I think it's correct if you've got the proper frames of reference, but since the frames of reference are not defined, it's tough to see thay might not be talking about the "sunny side" of the gasket at all.

I didn't hit the garage to look at any gaskets, so I'm just guessing. I'll look at this next time I'm out there.

 This kind of thing can make your head hurt. -- Gerry Proctor, 01/25/2002
Don't get too wrapped around the axle on this. As long as the front mark is at the front, it doesn't make any difference which side goes up. Your primary consideration is to ensure that the water flows where it's supposed to without restrictions.
That "this side up" reference is what confuses the issue. On some gaskets, there could be a proper left and right side. This is so that the fire ring doesn't brinell aluminum heads duging the expansion and contraction process.

The line is beautiful, all the right bends in all the right places. My question is this. How do I get it installed on the car without pulling the body off of the frame? I had to cut the old one into 4 pieces to get it off. The clearance between the frame and the floorpan is so tight that I cannot maneuver the turns without straightening them. I really don't want to cut my new 1 piece fuel line, or have to rebend all of my nice bends, does anyone have any ideas as to how i can get the line onto the car without pulling the body off the frame. The car is a driver, not a resto project. In hindsight I should have just replaced the short section that was crushed with a piece of rubber hose.

Hello All,
I recently bought a replacement tank to pump fuel line for my 62 390 equipped galaxie from Classic tube. The line is beautiful, all the right bends in all the right places. My question is this. How do I get it installed on the car without pulling the body off of the frame? I had to cut the old one into 4 pieces to get it off. The clearance between the frame and the floorpan is so tight that I cannot maneuver the turns without straightening them. I really don't want to cut my new 1 piece fuel line, or have to rebend all of my nice bends, does anyone have any ideas as to how i can get the line onto the car without pulling the body off the frame. The car is a driver, not a resto project. In hindsight I should have just replaced the short section that was crushed with a piece of rubber hose. Now I am down a hundred bucks, six hours of work, and my car has no line from the tank to the pump.

Any advice, or similar stories would be much appreciated.

Rob.

Mike,
Thanks alot for the speedy reply. I thought that might be the only solution. I guess that I had hoped someone would just tell me that my spatial relations were off and that it could quite simply be done with the body on. Not the case. I will post and let you know how it turns out. Do you think that I will have to disconnect the shifter linkage to get enough space?

Thanks,
Rob.

I have an extra x member, so if I ever decide to got he resto route, I can just unbolt the modified x member, and bolt the stocker back in. I figure that if I adjust my parking brake cable lengths, I should be able to use the factory e-brake setup. (I can't remeber the last time I had a really strong parking brake)

Someone should really market a tubular x member for this application with a provision for the parking brake. I keep reading that people are doing this conversion, everyone seems to use a different method. Hope mine works!

Thanks again,

Rob.
 RE: good lookin' mill -- Mike McQuesten, 01/24/2002
Ya you reminded me about the e-brake bracket/mount. All we did on mine was cut the original bracket off the '61 cross member and welded it on the '65 Merc member. The cable itself was just right and it all worked out.

You're right about there being a need for a tubular cross member for this common switch to C6. I think you've got a good plan. It'll work.

That 390 looks great in your '62. What are the specs on that 390 again?

And in a few minutes I'm calling my friend to find out how much he actually jacked the body up.

 RE: 428 cj heads -- Mike McQuesten, 01/24/2002
428 CJs were stock with non adjustables. It depends on what cam and lifters you are going to run.

AntiPump-up hydraulics? You'll need adjustable rockers.

Rhoads lifters? Adjustables.

Solid Lifters? Adjustables.

Regular Hydraulics with a mild cam? Non Adjustables.

Congrats on the purchase of the heads.
 RE: 428 cj heads -- Bob, 01/24/2002
If your non-adjustables were working fine before and if the CJ heads weren't shaved too much, then the CJ heads should work fine with the non-adjustables.
 C6 crossmember info for Kane -- Mike McQuesten, 01/24/2002
I crawled up in the rafters tonight to pull that modified '65 Merc crossmember down for a closer look. It was in '93 that I pulled the CJ/C6 out of the '61. So I'm having a hard time remembering exactly what I and a good welder friend did but here are the basics:

first, the trans cross member is 35 1/2" wide. the stock mounting holes on each end, there was one on each end, I enlargened to 5/8". Just used a drill bit and reamed it out so that a 5/8" bolt would fit. Then we drilled two new holes inboard 3 1/4" from the outer edge of the crossmember. These were a half inch forward of where the stock holes were.

second, I used a C6 crossmember mount like the style that's in my '68 F100. I think it's fairly common to all C6s in full size cars and pick ups but I'm not sure on this. Here I used two pieces of 1/4" flat aluminum stock cut to match the mounting pad on the C6. These were used as shims to align the engine & trans upward at the correct angle.

third, here's where you'll have to do some looking and figuring/planning on your own. I haven't got a crusio car out there with a trans out of it right now. But the '65 crossmember attaches with little modification to the original frame to cruisomatic crossmember mounts.

I wish I had a digital camera to take a picture of the crossmember for you. Maybe I can talk John into taking a shot or two and posting to this forum.

Not as much help as I wish I could be but it can be easily done. Hopefully there's others out there that have done this and can provide more details.

 RE: 69 S CODE in a Fastback -- Mike McQuesten, 01/24/2002
Don't part that 62K, S code, '69 'stang out! A little rust in the floors? You've got to be kidding! Those are an easy fix. The floor pans are available.

I have an S code coupe out in my little done yard. It was totalled in '88 and I picked it up for all the great parts that and S code can provide. Like you've indicated with the factory HD wrap around shock towers, the heavy suspension front to back of course including the 9". So what if it's just a 28 spline. Same rear as '67 - '68 S code Mustangs. All the little things that the 428 CJ got the S code got too. Although the '69 S code 390 is a standard non GT 390, it's a great base to build from. Your car probably has the C8AE-H heads which are very common and they're drilled for the 390GT exhaust manifolds which are not very good. So what! Build that 390 and add the correct fit headers for C8AE heads and.....you are a lucky man!!

I Put #1 cyl. at TDC on compression stroke am adjusting:
#1 intake and exhaust
#3 exhaust
#4exhaust
$5intake
#8 intakeand exhaust

Will go to TDC/compressions stroke for #6cyl. and do the rest.

My questions are:

Am I correct so far?

Is the intake always the first valve in each pair. For instance:

Right Side
front. I E I E I E I E

Left Side
front I E I E IE I E

Any help would be appreciated.

Would any harm had been done by having the clearance set too close?

There is an easy way and the official, book way. Forget the official way.

With the engine warmed up, remove the valve cover. Using a remote starter switch bump the engine over until the Intake valve for cylinder one is just starting to close (is coming up). Adjust the Exhaust valve.

Then bump the engine around until the Exhaust valve is staring to open (going down). Adjust the Intake valve.

If you are slow at this or your battery is weak, drop the valve cover on and run the engine for a minute or two, to warm the engine and recharge the battery. Repeat the above steps for each cylinder.

This works because if the intake valve is closing the exhaust valve has been closed for about a half stroke or 180 degrees of crank rotation and won't be open for 360 degrees of crank rotation, and when the exhaust valve is opening the intake valve has been closed for sometime (360 degrees of crank rotation) and won't open for 180 degrees of crank rotation.

 How true! -- Gerry Proctor, 01/24/2002
Bob's method is the most fool proof and is the method I have always used for both solid and hydraulic adjustments. The reason the book method may not give you an acceptable result is that performance cams generally have a late closing intake valve. This means that the lifter will probably not be on the cam's base circle on the compression stroke unless you're assured the piston is near top dead center. If you use Bob's method, you eliminate this possibility.

I spoke with the owner of the '69 Fairlane GT fastback while he was tweaking the shifter linkage and learned the 390 had a warmed-up cam, CJ intake and exhaust manifolds, and a few other items which allowed it to run as well as it did.

Keep in mind there were no 390GT engines offered in 1969, so 15.2-15.4 second times would have been in order for that car.

Also, I believe it might have been the 428CJ Mustang with the 4.30:1 (original was 3.50:1 for that car) rear which messed up it's motor about the third run because it only ran 5 quarts of oil. He'd made a couple hundred passes on the motor with no problems, but this was the first event where he forgot to add a sixth quart. This was an early '69 car which still had the 5-quart dipstick.

Personally, if it destructs at 5 quarts, and doesn't blow at 6 quarts, I'd wanna run 8 quarts at least.

That was a fun mid-September weekend. Lots of patriotism. Other than what was just mentioned, the cars were largely all stock. There was a new class called "Certified Stock" which went through a rigorous inspection before hitting the track.

 Also, the '69 Fairlane was starving for oil, too. -- Dave Shoe, 01/23/2002
When speaking to the the '69 Fairlane owner, I mentioned that when the gar gets to his speed bracket that the oil pan can dump oil to the rear of the engine and cause problems. He mentioned his oil pressure would drop to 40PSI through the traps, but he didn't understand why. I explained it was due to oil starvation at the pickup. He seemed interested when I pointed this out, so I suspect that FE will be running with more oil in the future.

I crawled under my 428cj car last weekend, and it appears to have a windage tray. It also has an oil cooler. It shows full at about 5.5 quarts. Two questions: Does the oil cooler assembly drain during an oil change, should I be adding 7+ quarts on a CJ with windage tray and oil cooler?
 I don't think 7 qts in a stock pan would work. -- Dave Shoe, 01/24/2002
The Ford "quick" solution was to add a quart. I doubt that adding a second quart would help. It'd possibly result in occasional smoking.

If oil capacity beyond the Ford recommendation is a concern, you've got to look at adding a high-capacity pan or an accumulator.

Also, I don't know how much oil the cooler consumes, or whether it drains during an oil change.

 Bad oil pressure won't cause an ignition problem. -- Dave Shoe, 01/24/2002
Your misfiring sounds ignition related. I was recently reminded that spark plugs can cause this type of problem (ceramic fouling), but so can leaky plug wires, dirty dist cap internals, a bad coil, a bad condenser, or too big a coil used with the stock ballast (coil primary voltage drops well below 5 volts).

To find the source of your miss, I'd focus on the high voltage.

A local farmer claims he has a rebuilt 390 for sale in a 1979 Ford truck (he bought it this way and so does not know the history). As far as I know, the 390 was not produced in 1979. Is there some way to visually determine if it is an FE engine?

Thanks.
 RE: Identifying a 390 -- David Thayer, 01/22/2002
First thing to look for is the big huge intake manifold that actually extends down below the valve covers. This is rather unique to the FE as the FE cylinder heads were once called "half heads".
Second, the FE had a water pump that was sort of like a Chevy and was offset away from the front of the block where the small block of 385 series (429/460) was more a complete part of the front of the motor.
Also, the FE valve covers will be sort of rounded where the 385 were more flat on top.
I don't remember when Ford quit producing these in trucks but I know I had a 76 F150 that had a 390 in it.
Good Luck David

Here’s a simple way to determine what engine family it is, count the valve cover bolts.

FE (352, 360, 390, 410, 427, 428) – 5

90*V (221, 260, 289, 302, 351W) – 6

385 Series (429, 460) – 7

335 Series (351C, 351M, 400) - 8
