Any idea what a cast iron 4bbl FE intake with quadrajet style induction would have come from (small primary, big secondary)?

thanks

FE Technical Forum / rod bolt replacement

What say ye on rod bolt replacement, it is an absolute must to get the big end resized? What are the real world issues if not resizing?
Ive read data on both sides, some to resize, others not so much.

Thanks for the input.

Hey folks

circling back on this thread on my 410 build, I was planning on reusing the cam I have, but now thinking ill go with a new cam, any suggestions on what i might look for?

The cam i have now is a Crane 272/284 .533/.563

trans is c6 with stick converter and rear gears are 3.70s

Is that cam's lift and duration about the max for stock valve train/springs?

Thanks
Howard

Another question on this build--

To recap, Im building a 410 and have a street master and a performer to install on D2te heads. Will I gain anything by going with a Performer RPM on those stock heads(no port matching)?

thanks

Folks

Needing some help here, I used to have a login over at fordfe.com and lost my login info. I am having a hell of a time getting my password reset, as well as setting up a new user id.

If anyone has any clues as to how I can get access over there please let me know. I really like that site, have been on it for a long time but the format sux. This format works much better.

Thanks
Howard

I have a big case 3g on my 66 F100 w/390 with the high mount pickup brackets-works great!

Give these a try here:

I also use the B+ alternator lead from a 2000 Ford expedition since it has the mega fuse built in- cheap and easy to get in the local pick-n-pull. Goes from the alternator, to a block on the firewall where the mega fuse is mounted. It can be unbolted easily.

Thanks all for the info. I think I will stick with the Streetmaster, and im thinking by the additional stroke plus the increased compression it will make a marked difference

I was on the silvolite calculator yesterday and if i plugged in all the right numbers, the combo im currently running with the 2bbl pistons has a fairly low CR-right around 8.5 so thats probably the issue. this new combo calculates out to around 10-1

when i go back together with the 418 I will put the crank timing gear in at 0* and just use the built-in 4* in the cam. Not sure if im staying with the streetmaster or swap to the performer, have to make a game-time call on that.

Thanks for all the input.

Im thinking that the cam has 4 deg advance in it. Now that i think about it, i installed a timing set with multi keyways on the crank gear, and I set it at 4 deg advance, so i guess im running it @ close to 8 deg advance.  I know advancing cam timing gives more low end but sacrifices top end, moves the rpm range around.

Its crazy to think that .20 longer stroke makes that much difference.

I have a performer that i can install, but not sure if it would help or not. I may swap out the 3.70 gears for 3.25 or even 2.75 at a later time. This is my weekend car show cruiser, so not a racer.
