Private Classifieds / R servo assembly for C6
« on: December 15, 2020, 06:35:25 PM »
R servo assembly for C6 transmission, for 428/429 CJ/SCJ. Will have pics tomorrow, currently soaking in some Dawn to remove grease, will not be abrasive scrubbed or blasted, will be in completely original as-cast condition. Been looking for this for a while, just found it. Nice condition, not scored or scratched. Not many around, and originals don't come up for sale often. Not looking for expert opinions or lowball offers from flippers, just  good condition rare parts. $600 shipped with insurance to the lower 48

Anyone have a copy of the old prints showing locating coordinates for the FE lifter oil galleries? Need front & rear face coordinates and locating reference points. Dennis Kolodziej? Others? TIA

FE Technical Forum / C6OA-6394 D bellhousing
« on: May 19, 2020, 12:42:38 PM »
I just came across a very nice "Z" bell, dated 5H6, with very crisp codes. I know they came on 390GT and 428CJ/SCJ cars, but what came on the 66-67 427 Fairlanes? Haven't seen one for sale for a while, especially with that early date, trying to put a value to it- thanks

FE Technical Forum / Sun distributor testers
« on: September 23, 2019, 12:39:05 PM »
I recently picked up a few more Sun distributor testers, in addition to my 504, I now have an SDT, MDT-50, and a 600. All have cabinets, and two in particular look quite nice. I will probably keep the 504 as it will do electronic distributors, and maybe one more and sell the rest. Haven't checked them out yet, but know how to work on them and get parts. When I know more, I will offer them. They make excellent garage art, but even better when they work

FE Technical Forum / Harland Sharps
« on: August 17, 2019, 01:19:37 PM »
First hand, hands on experience only please.  I want to get my 454 going for now without drilling the galleries just yet for T&Ds, and I know the Dove HDs that I have aren't highly thought of for over .700 lift. I do have a set of Harland Sharps that have a basic setup on, just spacers and steel stands. What are the limits on the HS rockers, say with HD shafts, spacers and end stands? Haven't pulled them apart but guessing bushed rockers. I have a .725 that was spec'd for a 454 similar to mine, and a .760 with easy profile that peaked in a 505 at 6300, and a .785 that's a little nastier. I've never heard of a breakage problem with the HS rockers? I've thought of maybe putting the HS rockers into the Dove HD stand setup with the big end stands, if it will fit up, seems the problem with the Doves was just rockers themselves breaking? I picked up a couple more toys, a 56 Bird with a drop axle and fenderwell headers, and a 65 Caliente for A/FX style. The Bird was running with a 427 until recently, and I'd like to get something respectable in it to keep the old ladies up on the sidewalk. Thanks for your help

After much searching, and missing a 504 for $500 by a half hour a few weeks ago, passing on a nice 680 and a refurbished MDT last week, found this 504, complete with an original Sun Pulse Amplifier for doing electronic distributors, and the original cabinet, right around the corner. Lotsa dust from sitting in a container, but everything works (needs a cover on one guage). Quite happy right now!

Just followed me home- my old Cobra buddies from the 70's bought it for the correct for a gennie Cobra 427 that was in it, and I got the rest. Too easy, I even have the same type toploader that was in it. Straight axle, fenderwell headers and a 9"- and the left the 8K Dixco tach and 66 Corvette steering wheel in it- serious Cobra boys lol. Possibilities...

I haven't used any juice flat tappets in a long time, but need a set for a budget 428 for my Highboy. Already have a new 268H, and a take-off set of springs from Ebock heads. Looking at the Crower Camsavers, but probably not necessary. Anybody use the Summit house-brand lifters? Regular Crowers or Lunatis maybe...

What's the earliest 428 block dates for a 67 GT500? Got one that's probably a bit early

« on: February 10, 2017, 09:09:57 PM »
These are the HD, wide body, fasten to the end head bolt setups. Selling to fund T&Ds, as I have several set of heads that are already cut for them

One set is unused, was mocked up on an engine but never run. $950, including shipping to the lower 48

Second set is a takeoff I got from Barry, $800, same deal on included shipping

Interesting trades always considered
