FE Technical Forum / Odd flexplate question running 352 w/428 flexplate
« on: April 25, 2022, 06:38:03 PM »
Just pulled a 1963 352. I was intrigued by the C3AE-H casting number as I havent previously had one in my stash and an obscure online post that "some" of these blocks came with the crossbolt knorbs,this block does not have heavy webbing or knobs. The casting has also been found to be 406 and 427 service replacement blocks. Anyways... I pulled it from a 63 mercury monterey breezeway back window 2 door with a cruise o matic. Upon teardown I noticed that the flexplate has a counterweight on it, the counterweight has the part # for-C6SP-6375-A-ASSY, it also has 184 teeth. Which a quick search says it's an early 428/428CJ flexplate.  It is one piece, not the 2 piece deal and a solid type flexplate,  no pie cuts. The engine does not look rebuilt. The seller I bought it from says it's a great runner but I'm wondering how it didnt shake itself to death. Am I missing something here?. Opinions appreciated.

FE Technical Forum / What is the lastest FE casting you have seen?
« on: February 23, 2021, 06:50:01 PM »
I was just doing a tear down on the latest 391FT I picked up and noticed that the casting date was 7-A-12( jan 12,1977). This is the latest I have seen and I have had about 200 FE's. I know industrial engines lasted a little longer than domestic applications.  Thanks....John

FE Technical Forum / Has anyone sonic mapped a 330FT block?
« on: July 24, 2020, 10:19:37 AM »
I just tore down what I thought would be a 361ft but turned out it was a 330ft. Just thinking out loud but if the 330ft block(3.8750" bore) is cast with 352/390 cylinder cores that would theoretically add an additional .080 thou wall thickness. It should make a very sturdy block. I was wondering if anyone has had one of these blocks sonic mapped and what the average cylinder wall thickness was. A ford 5.4 mod motor has a bore of 3.550" and 4.160" stroke so got me thinking about a small bore stoker. opinions welcome

FE Technical Forum / Boredom 391FT thoughts
« on: April 15, 2020, 06:03:47 PM »
I have never looked at a 391FT from any performance angle but even from a stock utilitatuan standpoint (F500/600) why on earth such low compression?(stock is like 7.5-1?). That being said, with today's fuel being worse than yesterday's,  would there be any advantages to upping the compression , like a
Swapping out the head gasket from the stock to regular FE gaskets?. What about to regular FE heads which much flow a world above FT heads.  I realize these engines are built for torque  but we must be able to build a better tourqe  monster today!??. Any thoughts on an improved FT engine?

Private Classifieds / Racetec 4.08" 445 12.5-1 pistons w/total seal rings
« on: June 04, 2019, 05:22:53 PM »
Custom ordered a set of Racetec 4.08" forged pistons from Brent Lykins. Added optional gas porting and then sent to Callies to have the crowns coated (coated for nitrous). I have $1375USD + the taxes at the border to bring the parts across(another $220). The crowns are profiled for a CJ style  chamber so C1/C4/C6-R and C8-N heds will work. ony reason im selling them is because I finally got a block from BBM. I have a super nice D3TE 105 std bore block as well if needed for $250.
asking $1k for the pistons.

Non-FE Discussion Forum / 2019 Detroit Autorama
« on: March 05, 2019, 03:03:17 PM »
Hey guys. Just had an amazing time last week at the Detroit Autorama. I was part of a build team from JF Kustoms in Osoyoos, B.C. Canada that brought a 1964 Pontiac Acadian dubbed "Anvil" owned by Danny Jadresko from Victoria ,B.C. I'm the lead painter in the shop and was over the moon with a Great 8 win. If you have never gone, put it on your list. This is one show anyone passionate about cars should not miss. Amazing Cars built by a lot of very talented people. Of the highlights of my career so far. I was cornered to do several TV interviews ( a little out of my comfort zone) and will be on an episode of Rust Valley restores(new Canadian car reality series), met so many great people, and a few legends. My amazing wife convinced me to go even though it was our 25th wedding anniversary. I am so fortunate to have her. Several cool FE powered cars there
