Only problem I had with my block was the first engine shop I went to installed the cam bearings wrong one bearing was too far one way blocking a lifter from even going in and at the time I didn't really know about the wider front cam bearing and distributor they also didn't pick that up I did tell them the cam bearings are not the same as std fe bearings. They marked 1 lifter bore at the bottom too they said it would be ok but I got it fixed properly and had it bushed and all there work checked at a better shop "John white Racing Engines" he didn't find any other problems with the rest of there work or the block.

Do everything think of them as a semi finished block

apart from sloppy work from my first shop I am very happy with the block and I would have no problem buying bbm block heads and intake if I built a new engine

I am looking for a 66 67 fairlane heater blower motor switch with A/C from a factory A/C fairlane.

If anyone knows any good places or people to try to find one any help would be great

pic is of a factory heater blower switch with-out A/C

I need a 5 pin A/C switch

I wonder if it sucked a bit of trash into the carb or fuel filter when you gave it a boot full of gas? Was your radiator still full with water? or did it push a bunch out into an overflow or on the ground?

I hate to say it but are you not better off pulling the engine and cleaning everything. be nothing worse then having it happen more then once

any one know what shop manual this is from?

Well that sucks

When I first was looking at buying engine parts I found a guy that had a 427 short block forsale he was drag racing it in an early mustang he was running a roller cam in it and he had some thing done to spray or get more oil down there I can't remember what it was but i think he had pipes running in the valley that put extra oil on the lifters. I didn't end up buying the bottom end it was 14-1 comp radical thing it did have a ton of very early go fast parts on it.

I may still have the photos I will look and see it I can find them.

I think Blair Patrick is doing all BBM heads now there was a post not that long ago that Blair said he is doing BBM's cnc program and preping of bbm heads. I am not sure if Blair did my heads it was a few years ago now but mine look the same and flowed 350cfm @.700 on a 4.250 bore I got my heads flowed in Australia
