Non-FE Discussion Forum / Tilton clutches
« on: March 12, 2026, 09:24:50 AM »
Hey folks, I’m curious if anyone has ran a Tilton ST-246 twin disk clutch before. If they had a good experience. They look to be of quality, and maybe a good solution for a street car.

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Magnetic base drills
« on: October 26, 2025, 07:38:11 PM »
Hey folks, I’m in the market for a portable magnetic base drill. So $300 on Amazon, the skies the limit on the top end. I’m wondering if anyone has a recommendation, I’d kinda like to keep this in the 1k range. It’s not something that will be used real often, but I don’t want bottom shelf just to save money. Thanks in advance.

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Clutch control
« on: October 27, 2024, 05:44:24 PM »
I’m reading about the “clutch tamer”, apparently they place a cylinder on your peddle or linkage that is adjustable, to remove stress from clutch cars. Had anyone utilized or know someone that’s used one? Maybe it could help me keep my top loader alive.

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Clutch for 4x4
« on: August 07, 2024, 08:26:33 AM »
Hi folks, finally ready to put my truck back together, thought I'd hit the forum up for a clutch recommendation. NP435 with an 1 3/8 input, I'm most likely going back with 38" tires, I will probably tow things, I will abuse the clutch some. My 428 made 534hp and 600ftlbs. I Have a Ram 3 finger here, maybe the off-road enthusiasts have a better idea for me. Thanks friends.

Just ran across an Edelbrock f427 manifold on the local offer-up. Are they wall art? Or do they compare to modern Edelbrock intakes. Thanks!

So, this has probably been discussed before, but I’m not finding it. 1967 Fairlane, I’ve been looking at radiator options. Cold Case looks nice, wondering what people have had success with. Nice BBM that will build good power, would like to cruise around town with it. Thanks!

FE Technical Forum / 428cj heads
« on: March 27, 2022, 01:31:33 AM »
There’s a set of C80E 6090 N heads for sale pretty close to my house. The seller says they’re absolutely original. I find that hard to believe. Let’s pretend they’re unaltered from Ford. I don’t need them for a restoration, but I like old Ford stuff. The fella wants $2,000. I probably would not pay that. I don’t like asking this kind of question, but what do you think is fair, assuming they’re as described?

Bring a trailer auctions has a pretty neat project, lot number 67317. Plain white Fairlane not an original 427 car, but seems to have a pond aluminum 427 now. If I knew how to post a link with a wrench, instead of a computer I would do so.

So I found a better bed, built a cart for it to roll around on. I then took it to the old mans house, where it will hang out til I get done of the free time we’re always chasing. It appears he got impatient.
