What’s the preferred solvent or soap to clean a machined block prior to assembly?

Thanks all. I’m a first timer to ring filing as I’ve always done stock rebuilds non custom parts and my first FE.  ;)

What inexpensive ring file is the best to go with? I see several options from summit, jegs and speedway motors but they are all pretty much the same imported piece.

Preaction, you are correct. The motor originally came out of a 67 Galaxie 500 but all I’m using from it is the block and distributor. I’ve had the Mustang since 1989 but back when I bought it the drivetrain was long gone but it is originally an S Code 4 speed car.

I spoke with Stan when I placed my order for the headers and let him know my application and he advised the correct set to go with. They are the tri-y style.

I’ve already purchased the long tube headers from FPA and this is a manual steering car with a toploader. Not sure what clearance issues I will have but if anyone has advice I’d appreciate it.

Ross, I really appreciate your advice and will keep it in mind when I get to that point. I’ll be putting in an order for a pan and pickup most likely today. I’m not sure I need the road race T pan or just a standard T pan. I may do a road course track day or two in the future but that remains to be seen.

Thanks Tunnelwedge. Not a Santa Claus driver but not going to be wheel standing either. Mostly street driving with the occasional road course session if I can.

I’m looking at the Canton T Pan for it. I need to get an oil pump as well but haven’t decided yet due to the oil pan. If going the T Pan would a standard volume pump be ok or should I get the high volume? I’m looking at the ones Precision Oil Pumps has.

Would it be wise to go ahead and spend the money on a deep sump pan and pickup or use the factory pan on my 445? The pan is original to the motor which came out of a 67 Galaxy and will be going in my 67 Mustang. I’m gathering the rest of the parts I need to get the motor assembled and a pan is on the list of options if needed.

Thanks

Thanks, I will keep that in mind. I will be running HS adjustable rockers, but I will find out when I get to that point.

Need some suggestions on Rocker Arm Studs to go on my TFS heads. I see TFS sells a kit but wondering if they are the way to go or is there another option I should look into such as ARP?
