FE Technical Forum / Re: Balancing of different FE assembly

Thank you guys!

Pistons: There is a 60 on the top and 304NP stamped on the side. how can I attach some Pics?
The Pistons and Rods dont have the same weight so I will bring them to the same. 
I dont wanna build a High performence Blown Engine but want to have a Engine thats running smooth and long. I only did a port job to the heads and they will get Sealed Power valves. Also installed new Mahle/Clevite bearings and want to put a Holley 750DP on it. So I dont know how much Power I will get.

which clutch flywheel combo would you recommend?

thanks for the tip to let it sonic checked. After Sonic check I can be shure that it wount blow out a cylinder wall?


Regarding the Block, I am not at home at the moment so i'll check that at Friday.

Thanks!

I bought it without starter, flywheel.. and so didnt know how long it was standing. I generally did not know what state it was. So i decidet to disassemble.
Now I have read about FE engines and was not shure if this components will work together.
I have this Engine to use it in a 69Mustang R-Code and dont have a engine test stand. So I would not like to put everything together and notice i have build a plate compactor ::)  :'(

Which mods would you make ?

Thank you!

Hello,

I have bought a Ford FE.

Now I have the engine disassembled and found the following components:

1.) Crank is stamped with 3U → 390 or 427

2.) Rods C7AE-B → 428; 428CJ; Shelby GT500; 427

3.) Heads C7AE-A → 390 or 428 (Shelby GT500)

I can`t find any casting number at the block and the bore is 4.13“

The above mentioned crank has a harmonic balancer but non counterwaight.

Now I don ́t know if the heavy 428 rods and 3U crank will work together without balancing the

whole rotating sytem!

Does anyone have experience with such a topic and could support my or give me some hints for

solving this problem?

Thank you in advance
