Thanks Royce,
I plan to have the crank turned, but not for some time. I still have a bunch of work to do on the block, and I am not going to be ready to start reassembly for some time. I am planning on doing the engine as a winter project and hope to have the whole car ready for the CCNJ nats here in NJ next June. I agree with you about doing it right!! This is my first FE build and I want to take my time and really enjoy it.
I am concerned about the rust getting worse between now and when I am ready to have the crank prepped. And I don't want to have it turned now and sit until I am ready to reassemble. Is there something I can coat it with to keep the rust from getting worse, or should I have the crank turned down now and keep it in a sealed package until I have the rest of the assembly ready for balancing.
Also, what if any special concerns should I have in relation to putting an FE in a 69 Cougar Convertible. I already have a small block C6 in it so the big block C6 should work as well. I have the big block radiator in it already, and I have th big block fan in it already. The engine came complete, out of my old F-250. It is a reinforced web D4TE block that I am getting ready to have soniced to find out what the bore capacity is. What other things will I need?
As always, Thanks for all the great info,
Paul |
