FE Technical Forum / California special emblems
« on: January 19, 2024, 02:54:49 PM »
Does anyone here have a set or even partial set of original ford California special emblems?. If so, do they show the engineering/part number on the back?. Also, are the backside of aftermarket/reproduction emblems solid, rather than "hollow" as all the original Ford emblems I have are?. . TIA...

FE Technical Forum / Advertised VS real world connecting rod weight
« on: November 30, 2023, 09:45:37 PM »
How do manufacturers come up with the advertised weight of connecting rods?. I know what common sense tells me how it works. I have a rod fixture for balancing rods and an excellent digital scale. On the manufacturers box it reads recip/small end(273.2 grams), rotating/big end (560.8) total rod weight 834 grams. Put the rod itself on the scale 934 grams. Where is the additional 100 grams coming from. I'm missing something. Thanks

Good Deals! / Stangman..,.. excellent seller
« on: September 12, 2023, 08:46:49 PM »
Just a quick Big Kudos about Stangman. My experience was as good as you could ask for. I inquired about his ad for parts. Rather than a blind "thank you, send me the cash he made the effort to contact me( by a phone call, who does that anymore?), make sure it was what I needed, informed me of any possible drawbacks, offered me an easy out if it did not work for me. He shipped the parts without even having any proof of payment knowing I had not yet sent payment. It reminds of buying parts 20 years ago when we all still had trust, basically.... before the internet. A huge thanks out to him!!. I would recommend anyone to buy from him!

FE Technical Forum / Opinions on lifter base marking, run it or not?
« on: September 11, 2023, 03:20:16 PM »
I'm looking for opinions on a bit of a strange mark on the base of one previously run lifter. This can and lifters came out of a running engine with no issues. It had some very light surface rust on it but when cleaned off it left this mark. You can't feel it and it isn't where the lifter "rides" the camshaft line. What are your thoughts?. Run it or not??. Thanks

FE Technical Forum / Eagle crankshaft and rod quality
« on: May 07, 2023, 10:14:34 AM »
There are no cast scat cranks currently available.  I know when eagle first made FE offerings the quality was questionable and heard of several failures.  Has the quality increased over the years?. For a relatively mild street build, no high rpms or dedicated drag race deal is the eagle stuff good enough or should a person wait for scat to become available?. Looking for opinions.  Thanks!
