Re: c4tz-12367-a

One thing that needs to be mentioned when recommending the use of a 391/361 FT block for automotive use is the need for the distributor shaft bushing, Ford part # C4TZ-12367-A. I was able to still get one of these at a local Ford dealer last year. May be obsolete now. Which will offer an opportunity in the after market. An FE distributor will not work in an FT block without this or some kind of bushing.

I'm in the process of preparing an FT block at this time for future use. It's a C6ME block cast in January, 1967. It even has the 428 visable with good light in the middle core plug hole. It has the large main webbing and cross bolt bosses. So it became the perfect candidate for the spare set of 427 main caps I'd had on the shelf. Had it sonic tested and it has plenty of meat for a .030 overbore 428. It was a originally a 391. Our local 427 cammer Bonneville builder, Dick Flynn, is doing the machine work right now to add the cross bolted mains. Should provide me a strong FE block for a lot less money than I'd have to shell out for another 427 block.
This thread, so far...
