 |  FE waterpump dif -- roger, 08/04/2005
I have a 352 in a 61 merc,
will waterpumps from 67-76 FE's
work?
the swap book has differences between
generators and altrnators
thanks roger |

|  | RE: FE waterpump dif -- walt, 08/04/2005
they had long and short shaft pumps,most long were early ones i believe,the later model can be turned into a generator pump by removing a cast boss on the pump and putting in a stud,for the generator bracket,the bolt hole is in the same location,and deep enough for a stud |
| |  | RE: FE waterpump dif -- roger, 08/04/2005
I had alot of fun making a bracket,
to convert to an alternator
the 61 352 doesn't have threaded
hole. but worth the change, no more
dimming head lights.
the waterpumps I've found range from
50.bucks to 17 the difference can be calculated
by how old the car is....
I started telling them I had a 76' 360 to get the cost down....GRIN
thanks alot for you anwers |

| Engine Runs On ... -- John, 08/03/2005
A new problem happened today. My 428 with dual Holley's decided to run on after I switched the engine off. The engine did in fact stop, then start again for a few seconds. It may even have run backwards, but am not sure. A small puff of what looked like exhaust came up through the hood scoop. This happened twice in a row, but engine works perfectly between these two times while driving. Any ideas? |
| | Another Clue ... -- John, 08/03/2005
Tried the car several times this evening and everything is fine. Today was hotter than normal out and the car may hae been running hotter than usual. Percolation of some type? Seems to do away with my thoughts of a carb power ale going kaput.....hmmm...... |
| | | RE: Another Clue ... -- walt, 08/05/2005
that would be hard to start stiuation,over heatinting,or octane my be you prob,also check the fuel'i seen badd fuel on premium blend because it's not a high demand fuel.and it gets old in them tanks |

| | | octane may be the culprit -- Greg Westphall, 08/05/2005
If your engine is nearly stock (camshaft, compression ratio, cast iron cylinder heads, etc) it will have a tendency to run on (diesel) if your octane level sinks to low. On a hot engine, the cylinder pressure alone coupled with a hot spot in the combustion chamber causes the engine to run on after the ignition is turned off. If this has never happened to you in the past and you haven't changed anything, more than likely, you got a bad tank of gas with low octane in it. It will have a tendency to ignite easier under those conditions. In the later 70's cars were equyipped with anti dieseling solenoids which closed the carb throttle plate completely to avoid this problem due to the lower octane of the fuel being supplied.
Hope this helps,
Greg |
| | | | RE: octane may be the culprit -- John, 08/05/2005
Interestingly enough, this happened just after I filled the almost empty tank, but I put high test (97 Oct) in it like always.....from the same gas station too. It's a performance engine with 9.5:1 CR, but I agree, something was hot to cause it to diesal. Hasn't happened since, but the weather hasn't been so unbearable here since that day either. Thanks all...if anything new deelops, I'll let you know. |
| | | | | RE: octane may be the culprit -- walt, 08/05/2005
heck i got a 10. comp 390 gt in my pick up,and i get away wuth mid grade;89 octane,and timed to come in quick,no prob with a 5000lb 4wd f-250, |
| | RE: Engine Runs On ... -- Dano, 08/05/2005
Sometimes this can happen if the idle speed setting is too high also. But bad gas is probably the culprit. |
| Holes in Block -- Joe Williams, 08/03/2005
Hi:
While trying to get the casting numbers off my FE (trying to ID the engine), I noticed two drilled and tapped holes (right now unplugged) at the base of the cylinder block just above the oil pan on the Passanger Side. One hole is up front (by number two journal) and the other is in the back (by number 4 journal).
I have run this engine and tested for leaks and there are none.
What are these holes for and what do you recommend I do to plug them up.
Thanks. |
| | RE: Holes in Block -- John, 08/03/2005
I think they were for holding the engine during the original machining operations at the factory, but am not sure. It will be interesting to see what the more knowledgable have to say. Maybe I am right this time.....LOL. |
| | | RE: Yes -- Barry B, 08/03/2005
that's what they were originally used for. In the vehicle, they held the clamps for the transmission cooler lines. |
| | | | RE: Yes -- Joe Williams, 08/04/2005
Thank you very much.
Now I know. Since they are for Transmission Cooler Lines, I no longer need them (car is a 4-speed). I guess that I will find the proper screws/bolts and put them in as plugs.
Thanks guys. |
| | | | | RE: Yes -- Glenn, 08/04/2005
No need to plug them. They don't go through the block. If it makes you feel better you can but they are fine without bolts if they are not being used for the tranny lines. G. |
| Intake Manifold ID -- Joe Williams, 08/03/2005
Hi:
I need to know what type of intake manifold is on my Ford FE. The NOM engine is an a 67 Mustang and is an original 390 car. The engine is not original and has allot of bastardized components on it.
The Intake Manifold Part Number is: C8OE-9424-C. I cannot find this anywhere, but I know it is and FE Intake Manifold. |

| 1965 Galaxie -- Emory, 08/02/2005
Hi Gang, I am new to the Forum. My Name is Emory and I am 63 Year's old and I live in South Georgia.
I have a Question which I hope that I can get some help on.
I have a 1965 Ford Galaxie 2 door with a 352 Engine W/3 On the Tree W/overdrive My question is that it has been in the Barn for a Lot of Year's and the Other day I got it out To do some work to it and Make a Crusier out of it for my Grandson. It is Jet Black and Has Red Interior which Both is still in very gud Shape Not a Spot of Rust.
Well anyway I got it out and Put in Fresh gas and a Hot Battery and It turned over Maybe a Dozen time's and roar to life, Just the way I remembered it to be.
Anyway It is smoking and it slowed down a Little bit After it warmed up But! It still smoke's some. So I ran the Compression On it and I come up with the Weirdest think all the Piston's On the Driver's side is 65 and all the piston's on the Passenger side is 95. I suspect that some of the smoking is coming from Dried Valve guide's from sitting all these year's. I am going to take the Head's off and have them reworked. But! anyone have any Idea's on the compression Why would it come up like that. Do Y'all think that when I get the Head's back on that it will be any better?
Thank you for reading.

Give the car a little run time before you tear it apart. Change the oil and add a quart of Mistery Oil. You might want to pull the valve covers and see if the oil returns are clean. After you change the oil run it about 300 miles and change it again, and do another compression check (Remember to take all the spark plugs out before redue the test) |
| 1967 390 Casting Numbers -- Jim Hanson, 08/01/2005
I am trying to find a close to original block for a 1967 Mustang Fastback 'S' code.
What should the casting number and date code be for a car that was built on May 22, 1967?
Thank You |
| | RE: 1967 390 Casting Numbers -- 68S-Code, 08/02/2005
Here's my take: Casting numbers could be about anything, but two that I could think of are C6ME-A or C7ME-A. Dates should be from a couple of days before to not more a month before build date of car. Some of the guru's will correct me if I am wrong. |
| | | RE: 1967 390 Casting Numbers -- Jim Hanson, 08/02/2005
Thanks for your feedback.
What I currently have is:
Heads - C7AE-A date of 5/5/67 and 5/8/67
Connecting Rods - C7AE-B
Intake - C7AE9425-F
I have verified that the intake is a 428PI, so I assume this would not be original to the car.
I am hoping that the other parts are original to the car?? |
| | | | RE: 1967 390 Casting Numbers -- 68S-Code, 08/02/2005
I'm not 100% here, but are you sure that is the casting for the heads? I think (like I said, I'm not sure) the last "A" should be an "H". Fairly easy to misread. Otherwise, the date codes look correct to me. |
| | | | | RE: 1967 390 Casting Numbers -- Jim Hanson, 08/02/2005
Thanks again.
I will double check the heads and see if the 'A' could be an 'H'. |
| | | | | | RE: 1967 390 Casting Numbers -- 68S-Code, 08/02/2005
After doing a little research, you might be right with the C7AE-A. I was using my S-Code as a reference. Of course it is a 68 and heads are C8AE-H. Boring, generic FE heads. I would bet that your stuff is original. |
| | | | | | | RE: 1967 390 Casting Numbers -- Jim Hanson, 08/02/2005
Thanks for checking.
I am hoping that the heads are original.
If I can get a block and intake, I should be good to get rebuilding.
Thanks again!!
Jim |

Hey, I'm just happy that I finally got to help some one by myself! You are the first. I also hope that the info I gave you is correct. |
| | | | | RE: 1967 390 Casting Numbers -- Jason Thomas, 01/21/2006
I have a 1968 Ford Truck. The engine and transmission are not original. The guy I bought it from said that the engine and transmission came from an old police car. The engine casting number is C7ME-A and the head casting number is C8AE. Any information about the possibilities or waht to look for would be great. Thanks. |

Walt,
Thanks for your information.
So does that mean any block, C6XX, C7XX where XX is = AE or ME with a date code prior to my build date of 5/22/67 will be correct??
Thanks
Jim

| | | | | | | Not too much prior... -- 68S-Code, 08/03/2005
I am not going to swear by those casting numbers. One of the gurus will fill you in there, but the date code should not be more than 45 days prior to card build date (I think-legal disclamer ;) |
| | | | | | | | RE: Not too much prior... -- Jim Hanson, 08/03/2005
Thanks again for your information!
I have noted your disclaimer. It would be nice to find a resource for this kind of information but from what I have been able to determine, Ford was not too particular when putting engines together (as far as using specific casting numbers).
Sounds like if they had a 390 block, of any casting, they put it in the first 390 car that came down the line.
Is that consistent with what you have heard??
Thanks,
Jim |

Please advise.
