FE Technical Forum / 427 crankshaft journal plugs

Does anyone know where I might source steel cup plugs and retainers for my "$" crankshaft? I have some conflicting information but nothing truly helpful.

I am located in Las Vegas, Nevada. Date codes are not that important although current heads are 5H and 5J. To be clear, my machine shop discovered a porous spot on an intake port during the build. I am still trying to find out if it can be repaired and am planning on going there on Monday. I need to see first hand what we are dealing with and then see what alternatives I have. The shop assumes it cannot be repaired, but as you know, that is not always the case. Understandably, I started my search for a replacement in case all else fails. I will update this as I find out more, thanks.

I need a single good C5AE-f head to replace a damaged one on a current build.

Have you found a shifter? I have a Ford shifter with rods and levers, but no knob. Unfortunately it is listed on another forum(not sure I should say that). Message me and I'll get some pics out to you if you haven't already found something.

FE Technical Forum / Re: C5AE A with holes in the water jacket
« on: July 15, 2024, 08:04:26 AM »
Thanks for the input. The rest of the block appears to be in good shape. It's .030 over, bores look good. The owner is a long time professional welder and states he has repaired blocks in the past explaining the labor intensive procedure. I was a bit concerned about the hole near the starter as that area appears a bit thin. He did agree to allow a sonic and pressure test after he has done the repair, so I guess we shall see.

FE Technical Forum / C5AE A with holes in the water jacket
« on: July 14, 2024, 04:48:31 PM »
I'm looking at C5AE A block that has two holes in the water jacket. One is near the starter and the other just ahead of the mount bosses on the right side. The holes approximately 3/8 in diameter. Can these be repaired?
