FE Technical Forum / Re: FE in a 65 Fastback thread
« on: Today at 09:25:43 AM »
Thanks guys , I have a chance to buy my 65 Fastback that I sold in 1989 , I had it ladder/tubbed with coil overs and ran through some hard times and had to sell it , 35 years later I see a similar car in the FB market place thinking wow this brings back memories , as I kept looking it had my wheels Crager super slots (they only made them for a year)and the 7 inch snorkel hood scoop just like how I sold it , interior looked the same , it's still a roller just like I sold , so I messaged the owner and said I think that's my old car and I only have one picture of it tubbed and that's the day I sold it , so I get to work Monday and take a picture of a picture and sent it to him and he replies back that's your car !! So 4 owners later and 35 years untouched from my last time at ownership it looks like I'm getting my old car back next week and plan to stuff a FE in it and probably a tear drop hood to replace the snorkel scoop :) I am stoked to get this back

Was it the car that was converted from hardtop to Fastback? I’m almost sure the build was posted here but I can’t find it

Wasn’t there a member here that stuffed a FE into an early 65-66 Mustang?
 I did a search and nothing came up and couldn’t find the thread . If anyone remembers the thread or link would be appreciated

I sure like reading them as a fan of many engines in the Ford family and it is Ford content so it's not like it's clogging up the site with SBC's and such ,besides exactly how many guys on this thread are sharing dyno pulls ? Post em if you got em

Jegs had some phone issues recently, I've been calling them maybe 15 times in the last few weeks and maybe I got lucky but I always get through . I also use Summit, Speedway and Competiton Products recently and all good for me

or call early between 8:00 or 9:00 in the morning, once he starts machining and building he won't answer the phone , the email is still good too

Tunnel port probably makes it a little more challenging for port fuel injection with the pushrod tubes and injector bung placement (maybe not?) and throttle body injection to me is like going back to the 80's working on new cars and yes they are getting better but all the guys that bought a sniper 1 now wish they would've waited for the Sniper II and sooner or later Sniper III will come out, either way seems to require a lot of extra parts and wiring just to replace a mechanical fuel pump and carburetor

I have his band and drums that are rollerized but I didn't want the low gear E4OD planet in my application back when I did my C6, I'll probably go light weight drum for the C6 this time around and skip the C4 for now when I convert back from manual 4 speed

I've had my eye out for a used performance built C4 on Ohio drag race parts FB group but to switch from C6 is costly even with used and that's rebuilding it myself, my C6 broke a band and I've been thinking about going back to automatic from the 4 speed so I might try a light weight drum and sun shell first on the C6 before I go C4 as it knocks almost 8 pounds off of the rotational weight and might bridge some gap between C6 and C4

they should change the wording to .... Power adder = Diaper , my brothers Maverick 347 he had a upholstery guy look at the diaper and he made some modifications to make it work easily... You don't see many NHRA SS's using the diaper based on the "wheelie view" photo's and the old Mopars have the steering linkage going through the oil pan making it impossible for a diaper to function correctly

They do a lot of work for other machine shops too , our local shop had the crank ground and assembly balanced at Ohio Crakshaft for us on a brand X and our new Snap On Tool distributor worked there for 10 years and says it's a good place that's quality driven , I would say you'll be fine

I'm not for or against , the article said stronger and lighter than any other rocker system so I'm sure if rules allow someone will start playing with them at some point

The big difference is that these have already been tested for strength so that part is a done deal , out in the field testing is next I assume
