I just completed the intake and carb swap last night on the Shelby.
I am with Brian on this one, so to speak. I am mechanically inclined and have worked on many cars in the last 25 years, although this is my first FE. This was the first time that I saw this, which the reason for my original post. The yahoo that worked on this motor (long before I purchased it) put the shims in under the rocker and above the drip pan. The guy I purchased the car from swears that the engine was never rebuilt, Of course when it came to cars he knew very little. Now I am concerned that it may have been rebuilt in the past and down the road I may have to resleave the block because it had already been bored out.
When I assembled the motor, I did so without adding those stupid shims. My buddy Mark, who owns Capps Mustang's helped me get it dialed in last night and it runs better than it ever has in the past. The factory dual carbs may be sitting on the shelf for a long time. |
