FE Technical Forum / Re: Need Ford drawings for FE motor for bell housing locating/alignment pin location
« on: March 09, 2020, 08:55:01 AM »
Custom Floaters in Ohio is building me one.  They have the original Lakewood tooling along with some blanks. This will be SFI 6.1 approved.  I'm using a Jerico with the standard Ford Top loader hole location however I know they can do whatever pattern you need.  I'm having a lower access panel to make adjusting my new pressure plate easier.  I'm also going with a cross shaft and dumping the terrible original clutch release fork setup, this will also make it easier to adjust the clutch pedal ratio.  If anyone else is interested you can contact Wade at (419) 685-0230.

It is roughly a 431.5 CU IN motor.  I use VP MS109 which is an oxygenated fuel, however I run that fuel for primarily 2 reasons.  The first is you don't have any carbon build up on your pistons and it evaporates so quickly it never washes the oil off your cylinder walls after you shut off your engine.  The free bonus for me is it adds a little HP.  Because my clutch has been slipping since I built the motor, I haven't had a full run yet on the motor.  I have the rev limiter set at 6,400, the engine will to go 7,100.  When I put the sintered iron disc in along with the new pressure plate I'll know what the car can do, assuming I don't start breaking things.

I added a video of the suspension, the only run I used the Go Pro camera in 2019 which happens to be the attached time slip also for this run.  I also added one other run at the track.

Hi Paul,
I believe that is exactly what I'm looking for.   Do you know if this was generated from Ford, since there aren't any drawing numbers, dates, or revisions that I can see.  I'm sure it's just a small part of much larger drawing.  It certainly looks typical for the era.  I really appreciate you posting it.  Thank you.

I'm having a bell housing made and need the Ford original drawings for the alignment pins on the back of the block, close is not good enough.  I need to get the drawings for the exact location.  Thank you.
