I originally posted this on the Mustang Forum but figured you all might have an answer for me,

What headers would fit well for a 390 with Edelbrock performer 390 intake and Edelbrock Performer FE aluminum heads in a 67 Fastback with power steering and power disk brakes?

Thanks

I got a basic question here, first time inside an FE. I am replacing gaskets on the intake manifold of the 390 in my truck. The pushrods go through it, do I have to pull the rocker assemblies off to remove the manifold? If so, what do I need to know before doing this? What do I need to know to reassemble? Do I have to set lash? What is the torque value? Sorry my FE engine manual is not here yet.

Your information is very worthy, and I have used it on several occasions. But please, do a spell check. I can't stand reading something several times because I have to figure out what you are trying to say. Like I said, your information is credible, just spellcheck please!

Does a 427 top oiler have the same lub probs as the rest of the FE's? Just curious. I am thinking of buying a marine top oiler, and am debating as to how beneficial it would be as compared to a stroked 390? Other than the cross-bolted mains. . .

I picked up a medium riser 427 intake from a guy who used to race back in the early 70s. He told me it was a rare intake because it was offset to the drivers side. I know that the Sidewider intake (C6AZ-9424-M) is offset to the left. My intake is also offset to the left. When I compared pictures of the sidewinder and my intake they look identical. The problem is that my part number is (C6AE-9425-J). My books show this as being a regular Medium Riser intake. Did Ford make more then one MR intake with flange offset to the left? Any one have any info on this?

. . couple of free years on their hands?

i'm rebuilding my 390 and i ordered some hasting rings. my engine is bored.040 so i ordered the .040 oversize. the problem is when i whent to check the gaps the minimum gap is .010. the hastings gap was .035!! i'm suping up my engine a little and i don't want to loose my compression and power because of some crappy rings. help/advice/sugestions are very appreciated.
i'm also thinking of going to sealed power or speedpro. if anyone has and experiance with them or any other rings please let me know. thank you for you time and help

I have a 66 coupe with no seatbelts. I was thinking that the safest
method to install strong four-point seatbelts was to install a single
roll-bar behind the front seats and in front of the rear seats. I
have seen cars in mags with this, but never any close-ups. First, do
four-point safety harnesses attach directly to roll bars? Second,
does anyone know of any place that installs roll bars in the NYC
area? (If not, anywhere at all?) Third, the pics of stangs with this
style roll bar have a panel made precisely for this - meaning the
rear side panel where the window lever is located (on the outside
wall next to the rear seats) actually wrap around the roll bar. You
only see the bar coming from the roof up to the window, below that it
is covered by the panel. thanks in advance for your help.

Please help! I pulled what was supposed to be a 360 from my 69 f100, and proceeded to tear it down. However, I am having trouble with the engine block ID. On the front, there is a 352, and I know that does not mean much, but on the back it says 66-427. No other cast markings on the outside, not even casting numbers or date codes. It has the external ribbing of an FT or HP block, but no crossbolt bosses ( it does, however have holes drilled on the 2 and 4 mains on the outside of the block as if it were for crossbolts.) The bore is a 4.080, but I tried the drill bit test mentioned in an earlier post, and the 17/64 wouldn't fit, and the 13/64 was a nice fit. No 428 in the water jacket though. And by the way, the crank was the 352/360 crank, and the connecting rods were the long style. And one other thing, on the passenger side of the block, just above where the casting numbers were supposed to be, there is some kind of sticker or painted on decal that has a ford emblem on it. Most of its gone though.

i was woundering if any one could tell me if i can easilly put a 390 fe in my 79 fox body mustang , do they make an oil pan for this ap , do they make anything for this ap at all , or do i have to custome make everything
