I wonder how much the 5/16" stem is a factor?

FE Technical Forum / Re: STEEL 427 High Riser End Support Stands > Does any one make them??
« on: December 10, 2020, 11:55:50 AM »
Yes if building a new motor the Dove set up is a great alternative, but on an already assembled engine I would not want to take out a head bolt to install the Dove set up. Seems like a simple steel end stand would be the way to go. Not complicated and cheap to make and because of material would be very strong. Hard to believe someone doesn't make them to put on a stock rocker set up. Again STEEL.

Just wondering if any one make steel High Riser end support stands. Seems logical to make them from steel or molly since there is not a lot of material on the bottom to give extra support. I've seen the aluminum (I think T&D) but looking for steel. Can't be that hard to make.

FE Technical Forum / Re: Options For A 1967 Factory Stock 427 Medium Riser Piston Replacement
« on: October 13, 2020, 12:26:23 PM »
Yes I would want the weight and tractor rings, reason being that any changes to that > then you would have to make the pristine steel crank look like swiss cheese, holes drilled in your nice balancer and would cut the value in half. Changes to the factory specifications means that the rest of the rotating assembly would have to be modified (drilled welded) to accommodate the "light" pistons.
I have seen singles for sale that were made by Ford (in Motorsport boxes) that were probably made in the 80's or 90's but haven't seen any complete sets. They looked identical to the early C5AE pistons.
Not building a race motor. Just want a exact replacement piston just "New" .030
Want to absolutely minimize "Machining" on parts to balance.
Thanks again wait to hear.

FE Technical Forum / Re: Is it Necessary or Advisable to Shot Peen Ploished Ford Factory Rods?
« on: September 27, 2020, 02:09:23 PM »
Great feedback on this > but in this thread I see a lot of references to 50-60 year old rods. Does steel degrade over time? I thought it has the same strength...say a 1000 years from now if it is sitting on a shelf in some ones garage.
"Time" means nothing > only miles on rods or how they were used and history should be a known factor. But "Time " means nothing.

One reason for using the stock rods are the quality of rods made over sea's. There is little or no quality control. Since these Scat Eagle or who ever I have seen numerous examples of broken rods with these supposedly "superior" pieces. Just ask Steve Vandervilt (sorry if I misspelled) who recently wrecked his original CJ Notchback Mustang. Broken aftermarket rod was the culprit.
I will not be convinced that the steel they are using in those over sea's rods made today are better than the steel made 50 years ago.
You now even see broken crankshafts today with the after market over sea's pieces. I never even heard of a Ford Motor Company crankshaft ever breaking.
Come on, look who you are dealing with - CHINA > need I say more.
As far as cost you can get a very nice set of lightly used Ford rods very very cheap. Aftermarket bolts have them checked out and your good. Plus you know you have an excellent rod.

Hello, I have a set or rods I was going to be using in a motor I'm doing. They are 427 C3AE rods that have been polished. Had them checked and they are Good.
This will be a bracket motor that will most likely never see above 6200 RPM. Maybe 475 horsepower.
Question is should I go thru the trouble to have them shot peened? From the factory they were shot peened but when polished did that remove the hardened surface??
Should I have them shot peened again? I found a place I will have to send them to to get it done properly.
Thanks

OK Thanks, after reading I guess you get what you pay for. Amazon has reviews and said OK for some things but meter is off some in some instances. Or questionable. Won't sanding down the probe affect accuracy? For cylinder walls you really need 100% accuracy. All depends on how much accuracy you are willing to pay for I guess.
