Well it's not a 79 Granada block. It's an 85 block, possibly a roller casting. That would be a plus, but the 86-up roller blocks had more iron...
That's not a D8 block. It may be an early roller block. The 86-up blocks had 4 more pounds of iron added to the decks and the bore bottoms to...
Lets not forget another 2-3 grand to upgrade the brakes, transmission and rearend
331 makes a LOT more power.
If you buy heads, choose only from those with 58 cc chambers. With 64's you run the risk of having your compression in your current combo to low....
I have as well. No problems. If it did, then Ford wouldn't have made the option of manually downshifting via the shifter.
You would think so. I'm currently in the opposite situation, working on a guy's 77 F100 with a 351M. He was conned into heads and a huge roller...
I also cut the shock towers back while I was doing all the rest.. Had enough of tight spaces with a 67 FB Stang with a 390 and 427 in the 80's. So...
Don't know why you're asking this. You have to use the manual brake pedal hanger to use the manual master cylinder. Otherwise it's a waste of...
No article. You just replace the power brake hanger, booster, master cylinder and shock tower brace with manual brake parts. You use a 77 manual...
The low pressure electrics are a one wire hookup. Run that one wire from the ignition to the pump. Fittings ? They come with the pump. All...
Bullshit. I've used two of those "cheap" electrics now for the past 20 years in two vehicles. First was a 30 gal/hr Purolator, the one in my 77...
Look at the lower front corners of the block, if the gaskets are backwards, you will be able to see the block's deck surface poking out from under...
What engine is this ? The most important thing with the timing cover alignment is centering the front seal on the crankshaft. I would start over...
I had a widened sump pan on my 331 that fit, bought it off ebay. These have the "Y" shaped sump. The thing to watch for though is in running a...
If you have to ask this question, you're better off not responding.
Might want to look for a Granada/Monarch/Versailles rear too. I think they're the same widths. Spring perches are the same.
53-1/2 would mean the axles would be 5-1/4" away from the center of the springs if I'm remembering correctly. My memory is a bit fuzzy but I...
You can gain some just by jacking the rear up and loosening the U bolts, then using a crowbar, pushing the springs inboard while retightening the...
I would trim the shock towers back first before putting it in. That's the first thing I did with my 77 Comet after pulling the J'yard 5.0 out of...
