Private Classifieds / C3AE timing cover… early version with pointer
« on: August 03, 2023, 09:11:27 AM »
What are these worth? Came off a core engine I had… local builder needs one and I have a couple so I thought I’d help the guy out… whats fair price for one? Dirty, needs new seal etc, but all holes are good and the pointer is there and has a couple degree marks on it. TIA

Private Classifieds / 390, 416, 428, 447 Blocks with rotating assemblies
« on: October 08, 2021, 07:30:21 AM »
Alright…

I have 4 different builds that got started and never finished that I would like to sell to a good home(s) lol. I’m trying to free up some shelf space and raise some extra money for my new shed project down payment.

First up…D4te 390 block +0.020 overbore. H-beam rods from DSC Motorsports with arp 2000 bolts weight matched, balanced factory crank, king bearings, Dome pistons that I bought off of a forum member. 6 slightly used and two new.. I believe the pistons are diamond brand… domes and weights were slightly different so I weight matched them and tried to blend/match the domes up as best I could. Block is showing just a slight shadow at the deck surface where the overbore didn’t clean up 100% on a couple cylinders. Block needs oiling mods and mock up to get measurements to get decked yet. $1500

416ish… (0.030 over 390 block)this one was adney brown’s idea. Factory 390 crank offset ground with BBC 6.385 length H-beam rods with .975 bushings installed, trw forged 390 pistons, block is bored, honed, decked, oil pump passage opened up and blended, gallery’s drilled and tapped for pipe plugs.
$1750

428… have a mirror 105/501 block at 4.130 that was bought from James Wagner “hotrodfeguy2” from the net54 forum years ago… he sonic checked it and deemed it useable at that bore size. I have a set of autotec flat top pistons, stock rods/428 crank or scat 9000 series crank and scat H-beams that could be made into a a rotating assembly for this block. Price would be dependent on which parts you wanted  to use in the build.

Second 4.130 bore block… was deemed on Facebook to be a overbored 390 block, I have not had it sonic mapped as I had acquired it in a pile of other FE parts I wanted. If I find a moment to get it to a shop that can map it out then Ill pass along  the details with a interested buyer.

447…
0.040 over 390 block
Scat 4.25 cast crank, scat 6.700 I-beam rods, diamond flat top pistons, I have the external balance flexplate for this rotating assembly. $2500

I got to get to work I will update and finish the listing later.

Private Classifieds / ISO.. one 427 high riser head C4AE-F
« on: August 30, 2021, 04:44:07 AM »
Looking for a single high riser head to mate with the one I have… long story short I sent the mating head I had to David Dove, it was in tough shape but he said he could get it welded… that was two years ago and I haven’t been able to get a hold of him for the past year.. last summer my brother bought a single high riser head at the Jefferson swap meet that was full of silver paint… looked like a decent casting that had some port work. Which was no big deal because the one head I still have has been ported also. Anyway, he buys it for me and I send it off the machine shop… we’ll come to find out the vendor at the swap was a swindler and the paint was .060 thick and that was hiding a bunch of shotty repair work in the chambers and one intake port, and the head leaks like wicker basket carrying water.

So if anybody doesn’t want to screw me over on another high riser head, I’d really appreciate any help on a good head preferably one that will hold water or can be repaired. Doesn’t have to be perfect just useable or fixable. Sorry for the short novel. Praying the third times the charm.

FE Technical Forum / Robb Mc fuel pump
« on: November 20, 2020, 04:58:43 PM »
Anybody run a RobbMc mechanical fuel pump with a honest 800 hp engine? Is it enough pump or should it be supplemented with a secondary pump? Thanks

Anybody know of a mechanical fuel pump for a Fe that’s compatible with methanol?

FE Technical Forum / Auto tec pistons
« on: August 21, 2020, 10:54:28 AM »
Are they any good. Anybody use them in a road race application? Looking for something with 20 or so cc dish and 4.130/4.135 bore, 4.25 stroke 6.7 rod. TIA

But I would prefer it not be ported or milled to death, and it needs to hold water in the correct places.... trying to make a better matched pair than what I currently have. Also looking for dove manufacturing high riser rocker end stands that have the head bolt provision. Thanks for the space.

If anybody has some they will part with I'm in need of two end stands and two center stands if possible. Also looking for one high riser C4AE-F head that hasn't been ported or milled to death, doesn't have to be virgin, just useable. Thanks

This was the final race of season... It was very warm and very wet. Not normal conditions by any means. Normal would be snow dust flying... Not skipping water puddles.. Anyway the old truck did win two class championships this season with only entering three out of the four weeks

For whatever reason the video link didn't show up the post the first time. I think I got it now

2.2 Chevy rod journal if that matters. Thanks in advance. Charting new territory for me

The cylinder wall of a 0.030 over 390? Anybody done it? If so how well did it run? Thanks again :)

Ferrea is the only supplier making valves for our fe's? Actually looks like they are using a valve from a sbc 18 degree race head for the intake valve... And a custom exhaust valve... Which is probably based off a BBC exhaust valve. Looking for 2.15/1.65ish sized valves.. I'm really not to excited about spending 25-30 dollars a piece for ferrea valves for my old iron heads... Thanks for any leads...

Pro gram or 427 crossbolt caps? I was thinking of trying it on my 390 next time it's apart. Last time I had it apart I had some metal transfer between the caps and block.. I've seen sbc's and 385 series fords with this done... Never a Fe though... Would it be worth the hassle? Get some longer arp studs or bolts and mill the top of the cap flat and sandwich a 1x1 bar of 1045 or 1026 steel between the cap and fasteners... I wonder if that would help the block and cap integrity some? What you guys think? I have access to A machine shop so I could make a few sets and see what happens I guess... Guess I'm just wondering if I would be wasting my time or not? Anybody been there and done this already? Any results you can share? Thanks
