Private Classifieds / Basic FE stuff and more.
« on: December 24, 2019, 09:10:04 AM »
I have several FE parts from past projects and engines that I will not be needing. Ok, Procomp new FE chrome valve covers, standard power by Ford valve covers, truck 360 oil pan, timing cover, couple of standard 360/390 air cleaner assemblies, truck horizontal oil filter adaptor, several crank and water pump pulley's, pair of "Arvinode" mufflers in 2 1/4 size, A/C evap/heater box from 69 Fairlane, A/C lower dash from 69 Fairlane. Probably some stuff I am forgetting? Pictures upon request, and just make me an offer on whatever if you are interested. I could use the space and need this stuff gone.

Also, (4) BF.Goodrich radial T/A white letter tires; (2) 195/70/14 and (2) 245/60/14. Tires are a few years old and might have rolled a mile under a project car that is now gone. $400obo. Lastly, I have (2) 14x7 standard black wheels with small center and (2) 14x5.5 standard black wheels with small center. $150obo

Like I said, I need all this stuff gone and I am very open in talking with anyone interested.

Thanks, Brian

I realized that I never did give a price for Torino body separate from engine and trans. Actually, I will address both the Torino body and engine price wise. On the body, I would be asking $2500 which includes a bunch of parts. On the engine I would be asking $7000. Nice project car, nice engine. I need this project car and engine gone due to garage space issues. So, having said that, I am open minded in terms of making a deal. I am very good with reasonable offers. Feel free to get in touch with me anytime, and we can go from there. Clear Ohio title on Torino and everything is located in central Ohio area. Thanks! Brian

Ok, I am willing to separate the 428 engine from the Fairlane. This is mostly related to space constraints. I'll give a good description of engine, and we can go from there.

I had a 428 engine built to SCJ specs for a 69 Mach 1 project that I no longer have. We used a 428 service block bored .030 over. New Scat crank, original Lemans rods, Probe 10-1 forged pistons. Heads are C6AE-R with appropriate clean up/porting and 2.09/1.66 stainless valves with hardened exhaust seats. Milodon deep sump ( Ford SS style ) oil pan and Melling pump. Comp cams XE274 cam, Holley street Dominator intake, 780 Holley ( true 3310-1 ) carb. Autolite distributor with Pertronix 1. Rebuilt water pump and rebuilt alt, 2 groove crank, alt, and water pump pulleys. Original chrome power by Ford valve covers, SCJ crank counterweight and SCJ oil cooler adaptor, 289 hipo style air cleaner. It is currently set up for C6 trans with balanced flex plate. Engine looks very much like a 68 W code Cougar 427. This engine has never been fired, stored correctly. It is not numbers matching to anything. I will include a running C6 trans. Feel free to ask questions and or request pictures. $8000, lets talk. Thx, Brian

Private Classifieds / 1969 Torino with 428 project.
« on: August 26, 2019, 02:01:21 PM »
Hello everyone, I am selling my 69 Torino formal roof project with 428 engine. The body of this car is basically a rolling shell with little interior. It will need work, rust/dent repair, but certainly not bad for being 50 years old. The hood and fenders are rustfree but have many dents. I have the lower dash ( a/c style), the standard cluster, a very nice dash pad, and the a/c evaporator/heater box. I also have all of the glass which is in good condition less windshield. The car does have a 9 inch rear with 2.75 gears.

The engine is a "faux" 428SCJ that I had built several years ago. It has never been run, just stored appropriately. The transmission is a FE C6 out of a 68 Galaxie XL. This transmission was rebuilt in the mid 90's and still shifts and drives fine. Low miles since rebuild. I have many extra parts, 428 radiator mounts, 428 engine mounts, correct trans mount, correct shift bell crank for C6 Torino with column shift. More extra parts.

I am listing the car here first. The FE power forum has been a wealth of info for me, and all of the members have treated me very well! Life has changed for me recently and my health is not what it used to be, thus my decision to sell. I didn't want to write a book about this car for this listing. If someone is interested, please call or text and I would be glad to fill in the blanks. I am not super happy about selling this project, but it is time for me to do this. Life moves on! Thx! $12K. Brian. 614-563-4311

I suppose that if worse comes to worse, I could try to modify an engine side clutch Z bar bracket?

Private Classifieds / WTB 69 Fairlane C6 engine side shifter bracket.
« on: April 14, 2019, 03:14:42 PM »
I am restoring a 69 Fairlane formal roof car with 428. This car is a C6 car and factory column shift which I will retain. I need the engine side bracket that supports the end of the column shift bell crank. This bracket would bolt in the same location as clutch Z bar bracket, and it should be the same as a 68/69 Fairlane C6 with either 390 or 428 engine. If it helps, the base number is 7C431 and there is a decent illustration in the MPC for those who have that. Honestly, I could use the shift rod between the bell crank and trans manual lever also, but I'm more concerned with the engine bracket at the moment. I would certainly appreciate any help! Thx,  Brian N

Maybe "Dragon FE", or "Super Dragon FE"

Kinda picks up on the dinosaur thing along with throwing in the myth.

I should have posted this sooner, but it was a busy day and couldn't get to it till now. I called a local transmission shop earlier today that has been in business for a very long time. I was surprised to find out that they had an old Ford man caring for their used transmission parts. Anyway, they have the exact shaft that I need taken out of a 69 big block Fairlane C6 with column shift. In fact, they have a treasure trove of old C6 parts as well as many others. So, I am covered on this. And yes, you have to remove pan and valve body to remove shaft.........many apologies to FERoadster as I truly appreciate your help. The willingness of everyone to help on FE Power has not gone unnoticed by myself. I appreciate all of the pictures, Mark's help from Berkshire, and hopefully I can help in return sometime myself. If anyone would like to know the name of this local transmission shop, please PM me. I got lucky, maybe someone else will. Thank you all! Brian

The spring Columbus swap is coming up in a couple weeks, so if nothing else, might find one there? And yes, I could try some local transmission shops. At least now I know what I'm looking for, and the truck lever gives me an alternative. After you posted the Colony Park shift lever picture, I found a picture on the internet of a 69 Fairlane Cobra column shift C6, and the lever matches yours. Just need to find it.........and keep moving forward on this thing! Thx

Thank you for the picture Mark! I would agree with you, can't believe there would be an assortment of car based column shift levers. I would suspect one part number took care of things. The kick down on my trans appears to be exactly like yours, so the hunt begins for the lever. Thanks to everyone who responded!

I  bought the Fairlane as a complete less drivetrain car, and it is a column shift car. I bought the C6 I have from a guy in the Cleveland area that had parted out a 68 Galaxie xl with 390 and floor shift.So, I need the correct lever and possibly kick down for column shift car. I don't have pictures that I can upload, but my shift lever on the Galaxie C6 is more half moon shaped and pointed upwards. I've been told that I need one that points more downwards similar to the truck C6 that FERoadster has pictures of. And, I am not certain how kick down corresponds to all of this? I can certainly get the B&M trans universal type C6 shift lever if I have too? But, I'd rather have the correct parts. I just don't know exactly what I need, and I've googled a thousand combinations that just come up with nothing.

I appreciate the picture. I'm not certain if it's correct or not? The MPC I have is the actual parts counter 1975 final printing, and very few levers are listed as most had gone obsolete. It looks like the one you have might be correct orientation wise as mine is sort of half moon shaped and pointing up. But, without something to cross reference, I really don't know? I'll need to do some more digging, but if anyone has more info, I'd sure appreciate it! Thx

Well, I called Lokar about the C6 shifter linkage and good thing I did. The design they have is to be used with a GM style steering column? Must be for street rod use or something? So, I'll need to find the correct stuff for my car. I'm not certain if a pick up truck style column shift lever is the same as car style? I'll need to find some pictures. I do have the "car" MPC for part numbers, but I don't have any truck MPC info. I'd be glad to sell the lever I have after I find what I need. So, I'll keep looking. Thanks for the responses! Brian
