Is there a good standard stroke 390-427 crank available from Scat, Eagle, etc.? Everything I find is a stroker.

Thanks, I ordered one of these

FE Technical Forum / '65 427 Dual Quad
« on: May 02, 2023, 07:47:32 PM »
I am having a hard time finding an air cleaner element for this intake. The one that it has (likely original) is 2.25" high. I bought one from Amazon, advertised at 2.25" and is actually 1.75".

What is the correct height? Should this be an FA48 or FA46 element?

This intake when I got it used nuts to mount the carbs with a 1/2" hex. Should they be 7/16"?

Anyone know where I can get a new choke plate for the C3AF BKA 3MC carb?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks all!

Drew, I have an early 427 dual quad setup that has been on a shelf for 50 years. I would like to restore it to like-new condition if practical. I will email you.

FE Technical Forum / 352 Performance?
« on: December 23, 2022, 12:28:52 PM »
Hi All, I am helping a friend restore a '65 F100 pickup for his son. It came with a 352, which we pulled and took apart. This pickup has sat for 30 years, and I was surprised with how good a shape the engine was in. No cylinder wear, etc.

He wants to build it to be a better performer for his son and is willing to invest in it.

I have spare 390, 427, & 428 cranks and rods, however I am wondering if a Scat stroker kit might be a better option, as well as new heads, roller cam, intake, etc. I know these early blocks can be bored to oversize 390 bores to work with the stroker kits I have seen.

Would appreciate any suggestions for making this a stronger street engine.
