| cj heads in junk pile -- tommy walton, 03/22/2005
i found what look like cj heads and an aluminum ford fe intake in a corner in my dads little shop. the heads are c7ae-a, and the intake is c7ae9425-f. it is a four barrel deal with damage to the bottom. directly under the center, below the carb, it has a whole that looks like was burned out. can anyone help me with what ive got. |
| | 352 / 390 heads -- Royce Peterson, 03/22/2005
C7AE-A heads were used on any size FE except 427 or 428CJ. They are very common.
The C7AE 9425-F intake is commonly known as a Police Interceptor manifold. It was used on '67 428 police cars, 1967 427 Comets and Fairlanes with the W code engine, 1968 Shelby GT-500 (not KR), and the 1968 Cougar 427 GT-E. They are pretty common and sell for $300 - $450 in usable condition.
If it is burned through you might be able to fix it by welding but the heat might warp the manifold.

| 390/c6 -- eric cassar, 03/20/2005
I recently purchased a 63 390 out of a thunderbird. It came with a fordamtic transmission and would like to switch to a c6. Does anyone know if ford made a c6 to match up to my 63? |
| | RE: 390/c6 -- Tony P., 03/20/2005
Yep, any FE C6 will bolt up to the 63 390. However you will not be able to use the 63 starter as it will not fit in the C6 bellhousing and thus you must use the 184 tooth late model flexplate. Just for your info, in case you are planning to sell the 63 tranny, it is a FX cast iron 3 speed cruiseomatic. The 2 speed Fordomatic never came in any FE powered Tbird. |

| Complete air conditioning for FE worth pulling? -- Steve, 03/19/2005
I was at a junk yard today and there was a 1970 sport roof galaxie with 390 all by itself. The interior was stripped and the intake and heads were gone, but it still had the complete air conditioning system on it. Are these hard to find? I was thinking of pulling it and maybe putting it on my 67 or maybe selling it, but you have to walk through some serious mud to get to it. And of course I have no idea if it works or not. Are they easy to restore? Sorry about the long post. |

Just make sure you get everything including the crank and waterpump pulleys.
Ford used many configurations over the years for A/C for the FE. The whole system may not be correct for any particular year but it will bolt up, and many times without any modification. |

Does any body know a reputable repair shop to fix and restore intake manifolds? |

You're paying Kobe beef prices when you really need sirloin. What's being offered isn't exactly being misrepresented but a bit over-hyped. (I know - when has that ever happened on eBay?) The only difference between that bell and one that is right for your car is the presence of a bolt boss on the side of the bell.
The most common and correct housing for your application is the C6OA 6394 D housing. This housing also takes the factory 11.5" clutch and has the identical "hump" at the top of the housing. The only difference in the C5 housing is the bolt boss on the housing's side that you don't need.
The C6 housing comes in an early(pre 68) and late design. The only difference between the two is the clutch fork pivot. The early housing uses a pivot that has two tabs that insert into the fork and anti-rattle springs. The late housing uses a flat spring clip that inserts through a slot in the pivot.
You can use either style as long as your clutch fork is compatable with the pivot. You can also convert an early to late by just changing the pivot. Beyond the casting number, the date code and a look at the pivot will tell you whether you are looking at an early or late housing. Either will fit a big or small input bearing housing.
Here's a link to David Kee's Toploader site and his bellhousing ID chart: http://www.davidkeetoploaders.com/bellhousingidchart.htm
The C6 housing is pretty common and you shouldn't pay more than $150 for a perfect one. Look at the auction histories to get a feel for the prices. |
