 |  FE 428 cj engine identification -- apo11o, 11/13/2000
I know youve been thought this drill before. Could you tell me if I have a 428 CJ block (from the following information)
Assemby date on block 9D22 WI.
Partial VIN on rear of block 70328
It is in a CJ car but it is not a numbers matching car. I have CJ heads, manifolds and intake, carb etc.
respectfully,
apo11o |

 | Edel Performer vs. RPM for truck application -- mudrunner, 11/12/2000
I've got an F-250 4X4 with 4.11 gears, 35" tires, an MSD electronic ignition system, and a stock 390. I know that the RPM is a better intake, but for this big of a truck I'm wondering if the RPM would cost me low end power. I typically operate in the 1800-3000 rpm range...would the performer make more sense? Any input appreciated. |
 | How rare is my car -- Ryan, 11/10/2000
My name is Ryan and i currently own a 66' Ford LTD. with a 352 4 barrel. Every where i go to get parts or to get my car serviced nobody has parts or is fimliar with my engine. Right now my car has been sitting at a transmission shop for almost 2 mounths because it is getting rebuilt. I would like to know how rare my car is and how much it is really worth or if it is even worth restoring. Thank You |
| | RE: How rare is my car -- Ed Foral, 11/10/2000
I think that the 352 was pretty common in '66.
The best part of your engine is the heads. If they are the original 352 heads, they have the tall intake ports and are cast for both the staggered and vertical exhaust pattern. Are they C6AE-R?
How solid is the body?

| | | RE: How rare is my car -- Ryan, 11/11/2000
I really have not look in to the heads at all but the car is very nice it is all original except for the sound system and there are no hub caps. There is very little rust on the car and all of the chrome is original and is in very good condition. The interior also has nothing wrong with it and is very nice. |

Ryan,
Youve got an awesome car.
I may be a little bias as i own a 67 ltd w/ a 390/4.
Most people would say that it being a 4 door(it is a 4 door right) detracts severly from its value but i say psha.
It's got a great engine and cruises comfortably no?
Is it a coupe or a hardtop?
(have the support beams between front and rear doors)
If it does not then i hear that it would be of some value to the "south california hydraulics, boomin system types" if selling it is what you have in mind.
Have fun
and remember-don't try going really fast around corners (at least not on a road with other people on it)

| | | RE: How rare is my car -- geo, 11/12/2000
and if its rarity you wondering about, there definitly ren't very many 4 doors in good condition around anymore, for nobody saw any value in them. You've got a period piece of rare nature for sure. |
|  | RE: How rare is my car -- Ed Jenkins, 11/12/2000
Well fully restored I would say that it would be worth around $9,000. I am currently restoring a 1966 Galaxie 500 Convertible with an X-Code 352 4V with C6AE-R heads and I have ran into simailer problems getting parts. I know of some very good parts sypliers if you need and parts. |
| | | RE: How rare is my car -- geo, 11/12/2000
Ed,
I'm interested in knowing of some places to get parts for my LTD if you would be so kind as to inform me.
thanks

JC Whitney(www.jcwhitney.com) also has a limited supply of parts for our Full sized FORDS too. I have researched parts suppliers for the past year and a half so that is why I know of so many. |

| C9ZE 9425 B intake... -- Louie, 11/10/2000
would someone pls id this for me? |
| | RE: C9ZE 9425 B intake... -- Ed Foral, 11/10/2000
390 including "GT" S code. If my memory hasn't failed, it does not have the S cast into it, and it has the dipping #1 cylinder runner, unlike the S cast intakes which rise steadily out of #1 cylinder.

Ed,
where do you get your information,
is there any way i could get access to it?
i have an FE with unknown origins and i'd like to know more particulars about it
code on block c5ae-a (not with cross bolted mains)
if i could get access to the information source you have i'd be gratefull.
thanks
geo |
| | | | RE: C9ZE 9425 B intake... -- Ed Foral, 11/13/2000
Alot is from first hand observations combined with the many Parts Identifier books and Ford MPC information. The books can be purchased from Autokrafters or any other Ford parts vender.
I have no notes on a C5AE-A cast block, but from what I have read, I would guess that it is probably a 390 block. Do yourself a favor and measure the bore, and get the casting/stamping from the crankshaft. What are the head and intake casting numbers, along with the carb or other engine tag numbers?

| wanted 428 crank -- John C, 11/10/2000
would like to build stroker and need the 428 crank. i am using a 390 block bored .060. not sure how many cubes it will make but anyway any info on cranks would be greatly appreciated. J. |
| | RE: wanted 428 crank -- Rollie H., 11/20/2000
Don't forget, you need the flywheel for a 428 as well. The flywheel for a 428 is counterbalanced. The flywheel for a 390 is not. |
| Needed: 427 Cobra, GT40, and FE drawings. -- Mike Henley, 11/09/2000
Hello,
I want to build some highly detailed, large scale (1/8th of the size of the real thing) models of a GT40 MKII and a 427 Cobra S/C. These will full interiors, complete engine bay details, and working suspension. I might even offer a small number of kits or builtups for sale.
There are a number of Cobra kits and diecasts, and several GT40 models available.
I have collected magazine articles, and several books on these subjects, but I need line drawings or blueprints of both cars and an FE engine.
I have contacted Lee Holman, whose Holman Moody Company built GT40's and he offered to let me come to his shop to measure and photograph his GT40.
I have searched the net, and I can't find what I need.
Any help, info, or leads would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike Henley

I have some old magazine articles that I have scaned into my computer that I can let you have.
If you want them? Also check out this link.

How much $ will those models be when they are finnaly built? |
| | | RE: Needed: 427 Cobra, GT40, and FE drawings. -- Mike Henley, 11/12/2000
Ed,
Thanks so much for the reply. I visited the ClubCobra page and BB. I signed up and posted a message.
My models will either be resin cast or fiberglass bodies, and have a lot of machined, resin cast, and photoetched parts. They will have a lot of detail.
As far as prices are concerned:
The price depends on the market. If I could get firm commitments for 100, I could afford to go into limited production. This would reduce the price needed to make a profit. If I could get small deposits, from say, 100 buyers,I could buy the materials, I could make probably sell them for under $1,000, in kit form.
Built up models would be priced according to how much the buyer wanted done. My current rate is $100.00 an hour, and I would probably put in at least 100 hours to custom built one, so a completed model could run $10,000.00 or more.
If there is limited interest, I will only build a few, for myself and friends.
Thsnks again for the interest.
Mike

| How to cut off a driveshaft? -- Christian Gustavsson, 11/08/2000
I have an -68 mustang HT that was originally fitted with 6-cyl engine and manual transimission. Now i have an 302 with a c4 automatic, but i´m going to change to a c6-automatic.
I have got a yoke that´s fit to the c6 and to my driveshaft, i wonder how i much i haveto cut off the driveshaft because the c6 is longer than the c4.
I think there was some smallblocks fitted with c6 automatic so i would like to know the length of the driveshaft.
I have some ideas of how i´m going to cut the driveshaft, but if someone have some good ideas please let me know |
| | DIY driveshaft? -- martin edridge, 11/08/2000
I can't tell you how long you need your driveshaft to be but unless you have done one before (or lots) I would highly recommend having the work done by someone with experience. Propshafts can be notorious for causing vibration problems after being cut or extended so have it done professionally and be sure to get it balanced also. And be very sure of the length you ask for! HTH
Cheers, Martin. |
| | RE: How to cut off a driveshaft? -- Tom, 11/09/2000
iT'S NOT THAT DIFFICULT! it's very simple if you have the existing measurements before starting... e-Mail me @ ANDERSENBUILDERS@PEOPLEPC.COM I'll give you my office number.... remember if they can do it ; so can you! |
| Connecting Rods and Piston Choices for 428CJ -- Bob Zink, 11/07/2000
I am rebuilding my 428CJ to be used mainly as a street cruiser, but may drag race it once per year. Since I do drive the car hard occassionally, I am considering Eagle Rods and a forged piston. The Eagle Rod weighs 810 grams versus the 762-774 of the stock 428CJ rod. Do I need to use a lightweight piston to allow proper balance with my 10/10 1U crankshaft? I spoke to Eagle and they suggest Wiseco or Ross pistons which cost between $80-$100 each. I would rather save some money and use the TRW's for around $50 each. What is the weight of the stock, cast CJ piston used to balance with the 774 gram rod? I plan to use the stock CJ heads & intake with a stock grind hydraulic cam. |
| | RE: Connecting Rods and Piston Choices for 428CJ -- Chris Teeling, 11/08/2000
The stock 428 CJ rods are perfectly adequate unless you are planning on running 11.00 second or quicker in the quarter mile. I would recommend that you spend you money on a the higher quality pistons instead. Make sure to use a good set of new rod bolts and have the rods magnafluxed and resized. The lighter pistons will ease the balancing job and improve acceleration. |
