If you want a little closer to correct, I have a couple original 600 "GT" carbs, on a '67 and another a '68, and a parts '68. I used to run them on my 351W, pretty good runners

FE Technical Forum / Re: S Code 390 - practical power increase if keeping stock heads / exhaust

Yep, have to agree on the timing set and seals, the teeth will sooner or later get shucked off, and the seals will be just as brittle. Really not that hard to replace the seals with the heads on, if you have the right tool. And I have seen a cherry CJ get boogered by a little chunk going thru that screen into the pump and locking it up, barber-poled the drive and boom

Two words- Tapatalk sucks. Hadn't been on for a while, but a couple days ago I was sent a link to an ad on there, but when I tried to look, Tapatalk had kicked me to the curb, and I had to go thru the password reset crap. It was of course much worse back when the switch to Tapatalk was made

FE Technical Forum / Re: 0.016 cylinder wall thickness - Will sleeving save it?
« on: January 17, 2026, 08:31:14 PM »
A friend of mine who has a car restoration business, mostly NASCAR and sports racing cars, that I helped with parts on 3 63-1/3 427 Galaxies. He picked up a NOS std bore sideoiler block, and was SOOO proud of it- until we sonic tested it. 7 cylinders were fine, but 1 was at .025 in one spot- guess that one got past quality control at the factory. He got unhappy very quickly

FE Technical Forum / Re: Block came with NO 427 Side Spacers (Spacer Fitting)
« on: December 06, 2025, 04:17:15 PM »
Ford only made 3 thicknesses of spacers, so if your block has the original caps and you have a handful of original spacers, just select them with a snug but not forced fit

I believe the proper terminology for the "I might need that someday" mentality is called Hoarding.
But it's not hoarding if your stuff is cool

I wonder if one could approach PA about purchasing their design/ tooling, and what their response would be? If they were getting enough interest in purchases, they would probably still be making them. The JPT unit it probably a dead horse considering the bad road the new owner took the company down

« on: November 14, 2025, 12:50:49 PM »
Ported Edelbrock Victor 427 with Dominator flange, and Pro Systems 1150 Dominator. I am never going to use them, just love the 2x4 stuff. Ports measure about 1.4" x 2.4", plenum is cleaned up. Bolt holes good, good general condition. Want to run Super Gas or fast brackets with your Ford FE? Intake went 9.70's on a 470" FE with ported Edelbrock heads in a Fox Mustang. $900 for the Victor, $700 for the 1150 Dominator, plus shipping

FE Technical Forum / Re: Impact Of Valve Lash On Idle Quality
« on: November 03, 2025, 12:49:29 PM »
JMHO but I believe if you stop sticking with the whole "twist" thing, you will probably stop having problems. One can still rotate a pushrod for a ways past zero lash, which introduces a variable that can throw off your adjustment

That wider T-pan sump makes the oil level lower (closer to the pickup) for a given quantity of oil

Trim to fit pistons for maximum compression. Also pretty old, hence the wide rings
