 Crites FE headers? -- zack wood, 11/13/2004
can any one help me out ?
Im interested in a set of FE headers for my 70' mustang. the crites headers that I was told about have 2'' dia. primaries and a collector thats 3.5''x approx. 5''long. does any one know what the length of the primaries are on thease headers??, are they equal length?? I know that they are long tube headers but Id like to know a little more about them before I make the investment and buy them. any help is appreciated, thanks.

Try Mansfiled Mustang; Even if you don't buy from them, the site has a lot of good photos to help with ID of these odd big block bits.

http://mansfieldmustang.com/CatalogIndexFirstpage.html

I just sourced these parts for my two 68 S codes. Very hard to find. Didn't use MM, found them on the auction site and with private vendors. Mr, F helped out too, be sure to check with him for these parts!!.

Be prepared to wait or pay a lot of $$.

 RE: 68-9 390GT pulley and bracket numbers -- Ed S, 11/05/2004
I’m specifically looking for the 69 Cougar with a S-code because I think I have that stuff in a box and I know of someone with a 69 Mustang that is looking for it. I also picked up some odds and ends to add AC into my 68 Mustang but decided to stay airless. I would like to see if I got ripped or not. I’m going over to my parent’s house on Saturday to look for the boxes. So for starters a 68 Mustang S-code w/PS and wo/AC, one w/PS and w/AC and most importantly a 69 S-code w/PS and w/AC. Not sure if the dual alternator pulley was for non-AC cars or not or both.

Would the Master Parts CD that is sold on here have that information?
 RE: 68-9 390GT pulley and bracket numbers -- Ed S, 11/07/2004
How about starting with pulleys for a 68 Mustang with a 390 GT engine w/PS and wo/Air. Also do all 390 GTs have a dual sheave alt pulley?

 RE: It's anything from a 352 to a 428. -- Gerry Proctor, 11/05/2004
Except for a 427 (which that block casting number is not) you can't identify FE-series engines soley from casting numbers. But from the casting numbers you provided, it appears that your engine has probably been fiddled with over its lifetime(66 block, 67 heads, 65 intake but not absolutely).

You can tell the displacement by measuring the bore and stroke. You can get the stroke part of the equation by referencing the crank flywheel flange if that is visible to you (search the forum for "flywheel flange" to get the full scoop on scallops, holes and such for ID) or by using the wire in the spark plug hole method where you cycle the engine from TDC to BDC but the bore will have to actually be measured to know for sure.
 RE: Engine ID -- giacamo, 11/07/2004
your block can be any thing ford used a standerd over cast for the block in most comon aps. and sluged the bores for the displacement size wial casting,i,d say you have a 66 block 67 heads and a 65 intake pull the pan get the crank numbers list them or remove a head and start mesering the bore and strock to know for shure.

I'm helping a friend work on a '67 F100. He was told the engine is a 352 Police Interceptor but I'm not sure at this point. The exhaust valves are severely sunk in the C6AE-R heads but we also have a pair of D2TE-AA heads on an engine that is laying around. Do I have this right:

C6AE-R
Rated at 72cc but measure closer to 76cc.
Pre-emission intake runner.
Higher exit exhaust port.

D2TE-AA
Approx. 67cc combustion chamber.
Induction hardened exhaust seats.

We'd like to use the D2 heads to save the expense of putting new seats in the C6s. We have exhaust manifolds from both engines so the port mismatch shouldn't hurt. What about the intake? We have a Performer 390 that was on the "352"....will it match up to the D2 heads ok? We don't have everything apart yet but need to get it back together fairly quick. Don't want to mess up our compression or really hurt the performance though.

Thanks for the help,

Derek
 RE: Question on Cylinder Heads -- Derek, 11/04/2004
Couple more things:

How much would our compression change? Both heads have non adjustable rockers.

Popped a valve out and there doesn't appear to even be enough metal left to put in a seat if we wanted to! Worst I've seen so far.
