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.

Looking for original and aftermarket parts.  Original valve covers, heads, cams, dist, front cover.  Aftermarket valve covers, Dove rockers, intakes, etc

What do you have for sale ?

Thanks, Jim

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.

Can anyone comment on a question I have about the factory LeMans rod bolts ?  I was told today that the factory rod bolt is not round, but rather has an eccentric type thread, creating a locking type thread.  I've never ran original LeMans rods prior, I've always purchased new but I'd like to run these for an original engine I'm building (the will be wet magged, checked for straight, shot peened and resized/rebushed). 

I would also like to know how you guys feel about re-using ARP and/or factory rod bolts. 

I have always bought brand new ARP as it's cheap insurance. I also have some rod bolts that don't shank down, black oxide in color, 12pt and they are .435 thick to the threads.  I also have some older ARP bolts that shank down to .365 and some other no brand that shank down to .345 (these may be the original Ford bolts).  All are 12pt.  Any idea whose bolts these no names may be ?  I'll post some pics of them tomorrow.

Any/all recommendations and info is appreciated. 

Looking for new or used SOHC valve covers, rockers, cams, rocker shafts, timing cover, gears, tensioners, pistons, etc.  Not looking for OEM stuff but would consider it if priced reasonably (lol, if you can even say that about a Cammer).  Doesn't matter to me who made it, Coons, Dove, T&D, Pond, etc, I'm just looking to buy these 2nd hand and will buy in bulk. Please call Jim at 949-370-8699 or email me at bigblueovalfan@gmail.com. 

As the title suggests, I can't seem to get my screw in freeze plugs to completely seal.  The block is an Aluminum Pond Block with steel pipe thread plugs. No O-ring, just sealed with Permatex Aviation Sealant.  I usually test my systems with compressed air (at 15psi) and spray all fittings, hoses, plugs, etc with soapy water to make sure I'm sealed up.  This particular engine however is giving me fits.  I was able to fix one screw in plugs by cranking the plug a bit tighter but I have two more that have a very small leak.  It will not blow bubbles from around the screw plug, it only foams slowly which means it's a small, slow leak.  After reading some other forums and comments, guys have stated that the leak will subside once the engine heats up and 100% Ethylene glycol will not leak as readily as the air.  I'm not certain about these ideas.  And, the system will leak all the way down to 0 psi air in the system if left overnight.  Any ideas ?  It's already in the car, so do I just fill it 100% with antifreeze and hope for the best ?  I don't want to crank on these plugs any further as cracking the casting would be a tragedy.

I'm trying to give a full accounting of the engine components for this build and I have little to no info.  These are double valve springs w/o damper and have a dark greyish/goldish hue.  They measure 2.334" total uninstalled height, Coil Bind at .973, O.D. is 1.537", 2nd O.D. is 1.118" and I.D. is .816".  They have a seat pressure of 200lb with installed height of 1.879", Open Pressure is 500lb at 1.319" (Measured for .645" valve lift for solid roller cam).

Anyone have a clue as to who made these ?  I've searched, Crane, Comp, Lunati and tried to match it up to something they sell but no luck.  Any additional info needed or if I've missed something, just let me know.

Thanks, Jim
