If you don't drive the car frequently, you're better off with a low volume, low pressure electric pump that allows you to prime the carb without...
You're missing the hardened washer on the one piece eccentric , that's going to make it possible for the cam pin to walk out.
Yea, you're going to want more cam. That's basically and "RV" grind. With my 331 I went with a Ford Racing Z303 roller with 1.7 rockers to work...
I'm with the rest, 4500 at 70 tells me that sumbitch was slipping like crazy or the tach was off. Could be the tach was set for a 4 cylinder.
If you want to know what year the block is, look in the rear near the starter or on either side of the rear of the block for the casting numbers....
:slap: I took the easy way out and bought and installed a set of Lakewood traction bars. Two problems solved at the same time. :idea: :idea:
I've seen two 1980 Granadas with the drum 9 under them. I figure this was the last year for a 9 in the cars, so Ford might have been trying to use...
X 2 on this . No factory flexplates for this only aftermarket. You will also need to use the 50 oz balancer from the later motor in this case.
I'm running 235/60/15's on 70's Dodge Cop Car wheels up front with no issues, 245's are only a 1/2" wider and 1/2" taller so you should have no...
The studs and holes should have a tight fit, this is the only way to get the wheels centered with the old aluminum wheels.
Careful ordering from Rock Auto. They're parts listings are not spot on. You're looking at the diameter of the bearings, not the width here. I...
Look at the passenger side head at the corner, next to the valve cover. If the heads are mid 80's-up there will be one of the following : "S" "T",...
Do a search here and you'll find what you're looking for. This topic's been done several times.
Very real possibility here. I've taken apart a dozen 302's that were complete mysteries as to what was inside. And the people who I got them from...
As I said before, "rebuilt stock 302" could be anything 40 years after the car (and heads) left Ford. You don't know who built it nor what was...
Best thing to do is just leave that part off and downshift manually.
I'm late the party but I did notice nobody asked him exactly what his "stock motor" consists of. Consists as in what the short block is built with...
Bottom line to the OP is, don't let anyone talk you out of building a 331. You will not be dis-satisfied with the end result. I built mine with...
Oh geez................................................. it's not that complicated. You can mix and match parts all day long and the only thing...
You're over complicating this again. I've had both a high winding 302 and my current 331. The difference is night and day. 30 ft lbs ? Not even...
