I am now thinking even the accelerator pedal bracketry is different so I might need that as well.

Thanks for posting pictures here I am pretty computer illiterate and can't tell if the problem is on my end. It is hard to tell but I think it is different than my C4 stuff. I need to look at my car more closely to see if it will even work with Crites headers. I will get back to you. What would you want for everything from base of column to transmission?

Does anyone know if the big block C6 arms are different from the small block C4?

I am converting a 1967 Fairlane from 289 to 390 and have decided to retain my column shift automatic. Does anyone know what parts are different from 289 C4 to FE C6? Better yet does anyone have a C6 parts car with the linkage from base of column to transmission that they would sell?

Hello, my name is Dave Schaidle and I live near Peoria Illinois. I have a 1967 Fairlane and am in the process of converting it from a small block to a 390 I had saved from my high school car (a 67 Fairlane GT). Once I have it sorted out I plan on upgrading to a stroked side oiler I am building. I love all things Ford and admire the things some of you guys do with your cars. Jay and his fleet are amazing as are some of the other cars and people tied to this and the Ford FE forum. I had the good fortune to have met Jay during the Drag Week that he won with the '69 Mach and it motivated me to get my dormant Fairlane going again. I also have an 5.0 EFI '92 Ranger that my oldest son and I built as his high school car that was then passed down to his little brother last year when he left for the Naval Academy so I love this forum because it embraces modern technology for old dinasours.

I e-mailed Doug at Precision pumps and he took care of my questions. Thanks everyone.

The stands appear to be FPP as well. He bought the car complete and it ran well until a rocker body broke at the shaft hole. The guy drives it as it should be driven spinning the motor fairly high.

FE Technical Forum / FPP rockers on tunnelport
« on: September 20, 2011, 01:12:38 PM »
I am helping a friend replace a few broken FPP rockers on a tunnelport. Everything I have read on tunnelports suggest it uses standard FE rockers with no offset yet the current broken rockers appear to have a slight offset at the adjuster screw in rocker body on exhaust rockers only. My Erson rockers have the adjuster screw directly in center of ALL rockers as do the replacement rockers my friend bought some time ago. It appears to me that the rockers with the centered adjusters will NOT allow contact of the pushrod to the pushrod tube through the intake port and of course have plenty of room on exhausts and appaer to be fairly in line. I am not too familiar with tunnel ports and don't want to mess this up for him. Do tunnelports truly use standard FE rockers with no offset on both intake and exhaust? Any help is appreciated. The engine is in a super nice Contemporary Cobra replica with a Nash 5 speed behind it and I am dying to hear that tunnelport at full song.
