Private Classifieds / Ford FE 575-2143 Heads for Sale **SOLD**
« on: October 23, 2022, 10:42:35 PM »
I have a set of good used FE heads.  I believe people refer to these as poor man's medium risers.  They have a great thumbprint, nothing looks damaged, although I would recommend a good cleaning and rebuild. Look at last pic, the measurements on these heads are almost identical to 428CJ heads, larger valves and runners, cheap HP.

I ship worldwide on buyers dime and accept PayPal if you pay the fees.  Also accept check if you're a trusting soul.  I get decent rates through FedEx so please ask for a quote.  Local pickup is always free and cash gets the best deal.  Located in Irvine, CA.  Asking $125 or best offer for the pair.

I'll take the "6)  1 TRW #L2298 427 .030 (4.258") Forged Piston w/pin (for 428 crank) = $25".  Message sent to yoiu here.

I don't know why but I've tried to send you a couple emails now and each time they are blocked.  Can you please call me at 949-370-8699 or send an email direct to bigblueovalfan@gmail.com.  I also don't have a message in my message folder here on this forum.

I will calculate the ship cost which shouldn't be much for 1 piston but will need your full name for the label.

Thanks, Jim

FE Technical Forum / Side Rod Clearance Question
« on: October 30, 2021, 07:59:20 PM »
I have a couple different stock 427 Steel cranks that measure 1.757 to 1.759 rod journal width and my factory LeMans rods measure .862 to .867, most in the .862 range.  This gives me a .030 to .035 total clearance.  It's been awhile but I seem to remember .025 being a max number for total clearance.  Building a couple hot street 427's and I'd like to stay with factory parts (replacing hardware of course).

Can any of the pro builders comment ?

Anything you guys may have for sale, please let me know.  Mostly looking for reproduction stuff, not OEM or NOS stuff.  Need Dove rocker parts.  Need rocker shafts, intake manifolds, valve covers.  Also will look at damaged stuff.  Need used cams or new if you have them.  Used pistons as well.  Chain guides and tensioners.  Let me know.

FE Technical Forum / Magneto Question
« on: September 04, 2021, 06:21:15 PM »
Anyone run a mag on their FE ?  I never have run one and know next to nothing about them  What are the Pro's, Con's.  Thinking about for hot street use on an SOHC and wondering what kind of issues I may create for myself.  All comments and suggestions welcome.

Also need some tips on restoration, what to do and what not to do.  It was sitting in an engine that was rebuilt many moons ago but never fired and the mag still has all the crayon marks on the screws but looks like hell on the outside. I want to make sure there are no issues.  Any contacts for people who rebuild them would be great as well.

+1 on Rory's comment. 

Throw away those tri-lobe bolts.  A modern replacement will give you peace of mind.  You will also have to chase out the rod threads with a tap to match.

Thanks for confirming, that's what my gut told me.  I guess that tri-lobe is a thing.  Chasing the threads is no biggie and well worth the peace of mind with the new bolts.
