1963 2 door post, 300 series, R code 427. VIN 3853R138592. The car was raced from 1963 to 1968. Car supposedly predates the lightweight cars, has 6 cyl frame, no sound deadener, radio and heater delete, and according to Sol weighed 3550 lbs. Since Sol passed last month, this car is being offered to raise money for his wife Anns nursing home care. The car is an R code, does have a 427 but is not the original engine. Many original parts are missing, such as shifter, wheels, fan, radiator, transmission. Sol stated in a post on the FE forum that the car has a HM NASCAR 10 bolt top loader, which will have to be verified. A 427 short block is in the car, and iron heads are in the trunk along with a 2X4 intake manifold. I believe the mileage is
approximately 3500 miles. The car appears to be rust free and has been stored inside since 1970. The car is located near Jackson,Ala, about 60 miles north of Mobile.  Mac Henley is the contact person for the sale, questions, or to arrange a meeting to see the car. Macs cell number is 251-282-zero 33 two. Be advised that Mac lives 10 miles outside of Jackson and his cell service suffers depending on his location. Please leave a message and he will call you back ASAP. Sol has some posts regarding this car on the other FE forum that may provide additional information.

FE Technical Forum / Dyno time...what to expect
« on: August 26, 2019, 03:45:25 PM »
I'm taking the Ranchero to a chassis dyno this week for the first time. Ive never been on a dyno before and am asking for guidance on what to expect and maybe some things to Do or Not Do. The car has been doing well but I cant seem to improve on 6.80, 1.50 60 ft, 100 mph. Ive recently changed the carb and have run with the new carb but the times are still 680s. What kind of A/F numbers should I be looking for and any other guidance is appreciated.
My engine data was posted on the Drag Strip results thread but Ill post again here.

445 cu in
Comp 306S solid lifter camshaft, stock rockers, Smith Bros pushrods
BBM heads by Blair
FE power intake adapter and Victor 351 Yates intake
4200 convertor
4:81 spool
current carb is a Gary Williams 1020

Any guidance is appreciated. Ill post the results of the Dyno pulls …

Thanks in advance

FE Technical Forum / Distributor gear for Comp solid roller
« on: January 12, 2017, 10:44:44 AM »
Ive got 4039 miles on the 427 SO in my 31 coupe with the 33-781-9 Comp solid roller camshaft. At the time I built the engine the only distributor gear for an FE offered by Comp for the billet steel roller was the bronze 433 gear. Im running a MT cross ram on the engine so removing the intake to  check the gear drive is way more difficult than just pulling the distributor out of a "normal" FE intake. After pulling the intake to access the gear and drive, the bronze gear showed very little signs of wear. I have read that Crane offers a gear for use with roller cams that lasts longer than the bronze gear and since checking the gear is so difficult I wanted to investigate the possibility of obtaining the Crane gear, but have been unable to locate a part number for the Crane gear. If anyone has advice or information on said Crane, please advise. I talked with Comp this morning and they still advise using the bronze 433 gear. If the Crane gear is not available, Ill just replace the bronze with a new 433 Comp bronze gear. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
