I personally like the Autolite 4100 better than a Holley. You have a
much more sophisticated design there. What I like about them is they
are really consistant performing once you get one dialed in, and their
mileage is better too. If I weren't running a Q-Jet I'd be running the
4100. I never understood why people put a cheap Holley on in place of
them. The 4100 has adjustable primary AND secondary accellerator pumps,
you can fiddle with them and get more power and better mileage than a
Holley (non-double pumper)any day. I found a large bore one the other
day, and I may build it for my '65.

Those Sanderson headers are a real piece of work, aren't they? I wish
Ford had made something like that in iron for the bread and butter FE's.
I didn't get the price, does anyone know what they cost? I hate it that
you still have to pull the header to get the starter off, but with a
header like that, wow.

This seems like a popular subject anymore. I have a 1970 F100 and I have
vibration at about 40 MPH and up. Before I bought the truck someone had
changed trannys from a 3 on the tree to a T18 four speed. The yoke sticks out
probably 2/3 of the spline shaft. How does one determine the correct length?
The truck is vibration free with a 3/4 ton load....

If you intend to build your 360 into a 390, you'll need both the crank
and rods. The rods on a 390 are a little shorter and stouter. Have a
set of quality rod bolts put in too.

Power from an FE is pretty straight forward. The best standard bread
and butter 390 heads are the '61-'65 352/390 Galaxie head. With the
exception of the valve diameters and bowl detail they are alot like a
428CJ head. (I can't see any difference, myself) Next are the '66-'70
4bbl Galaxie head. The same head came on some 2bbl models, but for
performance use, avoid the 2bbl heads with the downsized intake port.
(they were the '68-'70 regular fuel 2bbl head, these work really well
for towing, likely the the best FE head for the job IMHO) The main
difference between the '61-'65 and the '66-'70 heads is that the earlier
head has a better exhaust port.

TRW makes a forged flat-top that will give you around 9.5 - 10 to 1 CR.
They have oil-return slots around the pins, and can be set up like a
cast-piston clearance wise. (.0015-.0025) They are the L2291F that's
been around for ages. Good pistons, and not overpriced. Summit has
them.

With this much compression, you want more cam duration to bleed off a
little bit of it down low to avoid detonation. My favorite is the 428CJ
grind, still available from Lunati. If you go to their website you'll
find their specs. It has a nice power band, and gives a sweet exhaust
note. You can use other cams, but I wouldn't go any shorter than 270
degrees duration, or you'll have pinging, or over 290, because you'll
shorten the power band too much, pushing it up too high for street use.
The early heads don't really need a split pattern cam but 5 degrees more
exhaust wouldn't hurt. The later ones could use 5-10 degrees more
exhaust pretty well.

5500-6000 rpms is all these engines need to wind, and with a few oiling
system mods, and good shortblck prep and machine work, they can do it
reliably. Search the archives and you'll find info on doing up the
oiling system, we've pretty well wrung out the subject in previous
threads.

So how hard are they to dial in ? Vacuum gauge make it pretty easy ?
(gotta get some pics for that page somehow :)

I never understood why people put a cheap Holley on in place of

Because when you pay less than 50 bucks for an intake and carb, how well do
you expect that carb to run ? I needed the truck running again too, so I
just put the autolite (tag still intact!) in the holley box and put it up
on the shelf. Sometime this summer I'll pull it back down and let it soak
in gasoline/cleaner for a while and see if I can't pry 35 years of muck off
of it ...

If you hit their web site they have prices ... seems like about 200 for the
uncoated and 400 for the coated.

I hate it that

>header like that, wow.

My thoughts too, though I've only had to pull the starter once, pulled it
one other time, but it wasn't the problem.

Which reminds me I need to get my neutral starter safety switch fixed one
of these days ... someone said that the piece in the steering column just
pops out ... looks more to me like they are soldered in ... oh well, I'll
come up with something ...

Thanks for all the info.

As someone said, expect to pay for the 428, they are pricey compared with

you're going for the "I have a 428" awe inspiring phrase, then I would bet

This will give you a really high compression ratio ... especially if you
need the block or heads shaved to keep them flat ... if you can find nice
high octane gas, then more power to you (literally), but if not, you will
risk pinging ... someone mentioned and covered this already though, just be
aware of it.

>I am looking for ideas for the right cam and carb for it.

I'm building up a similar engine (one of these days I WILL finish it!), and
ran all the calculations for carb, to rev up to 5000+revs you need
something like 630 CFM, so I'm just gonna stick with my 600 Holley for now,
possibly go to an autolite that I have sitting off to the side later. This
should be plenty of carb for street use, and not so large that it floods
out when you goose it ... as for cam specs, if you hit my rebuild page
(www.public.iastate.edu/~wish/rebuild.html) you will find the specs on the
cam I'm using, unfortunately I can't give you any feedback on it because I
don't have it installed yet....

I have a C-6 with
>a shift kit and a 370 ratio rear end. I want to have some low end torque but

The rumble will come with a decent exhaust system and cam. The R's will
come with a good intake and exhaust ... you might consider the Sanderson
headers that Mark has on his truck if you have a 4x4, if you have a 4x2,
there are lots of long tubes that will fit up under the truck nicely. If
you are trying to run more R's too, you may consider bumping to a 650 or so
on the carb.

I would have to agree about the BFG Mudders here also with what CJ says--
They definitly wear on a logarithmic scale. I've had 2 sets of Mudders,
and 2 sets of Allterrains, and as far as street driving goes on the
mudders, you can expect a little wonder out of them after they are burnt
about half way down, and a little noise. Both sets lasted me about 35,000
miles though. Now if you put them to use for what they were designed for
- -- as in offroad, I've never seen anything better!!! (tried wranglers,
firestone atx's, dunlops, mickey thompsons, trailhandlers) Nothing compares
to how the BFG's dig it up. 8-) Beware of street driving with a light
snow - they are miniature slicks on asphalt! I'd highly recommend them
if you are going to be doing the 'casual' offroad use, but keep in mind, if
you don't really need it, the Allterrains are a quality "overall"
performing tire that ain't that bad in the mud either! 8-)
(BTW- BFG was bought out by Michelin years ago)

There are several acceptable replacement refrigerants to R-12. They
are all azeotropes which means that they are a mixture of several
componenents. The components have different boiling points. When
they boil off in the cooling coil they boil at different
temperatures. The things to consider are what is the status of your
present A/C unit? If it is just low on gas then removing the R12,
replacing it with Penzoil FR-12 is an easy switch. We have several
fleet vehicles where I work that they have changed with no problems.
If the compressor is shot, it is a different mater. In a truck the
interrior volume is so small that I would convert to 134a. There is a
company called Everco which has replacement parts to convert systems
for nearly every vehicle on the road. First thing is to remove the
old oil from the system-They have solvent system to do this. Replace
the oil with a synthetic refrigerant oil. Then the fittings need to
be changed to 134a fittings. Have the system pumped down and charge
it. On a car or particularly a van I would also replace the condensor
in front of the radiator with one about 20% larger to keep the
pressures from getting too high.

If you want to discuss this in more detail Email me

Thanks for the advice Marko

I ordered the book from the local book store using the ISBN # and found that
it's a great book for under $20 for anyone working on an FE or FT engine.

I am just curious about a 428. I have a slightly modified 390 in my 1970
F250 and would like to build up a 428. If I had one. Are they hard to
find, or is the 390 better? Please fill me in.

Thanks,

Jerry,
Popular Hot Rodding published an article on this 2 months ago. In it they
talk about the longer stroke of the 428 (longer than a 427) producing good
torque for moving heavy cars. They also mention the rarity of good blocks.
In their build up they used a 390 block and bored it .080 over to obtain the
proper bore for a 428. The problem with this (and they talked about it) is
the FE block is known for its thin wall casting which may not be suitable
for an overbore of this magnitude. Some others on this list have been
talking about a 410 which I think was a 428 crank in a 390 block. The
advantage here would be longer stroke for more cubes greater torque and not
having the danger of ruining a good 390 block with an overbore.

It wouldn't be much trouble to locate a round pump, but the ham can

If you bore it 30 over (common for a rebuild) you'll end up with about 417
cubes. You will be able to detroit balance the reciprocating assembly by
weighting/unweighting the flywheel only. No need to do the balancer.

The 428 usually has a counterweighted flywheel and balancer.

Not a darn thing wrong with either one.For some reason 428 cranks are
easier to find than 428 blocks.
One way to go is to put a 428 crank in your 390 and end up with 410
cubic inches of FE power.This is thoroughly covered in the archives.
Another option is a 410 Mercury engine.
After swapping a 390 out and a 428 into my truck I didn't notice the
huge increase in power I was hoping for,but it did seem to have more
power.Then I hooked up to my traveltrailer.Major difference in pulling
power.Some hills I pulled in third gear w/390 were now passable in fouth
gear with 428.
I would say if you can find a 428 or 410,go for it.

the gross HP is 135

4000 and the net HP is 114 at 3,600. This is for a

Subject: FTE 61-79 - Springs

Going to open up a can of worms with this one....

I have a 78 F250 4x4, Dana 60 Front end, factory dual batteries, A/C, tranny
cooler....the works. It is the 8400 lb GVW package. I have noticed that my
drivers side front spring has sagged about an inch more than the passengers
side. Time to replace the front springs....I would like to accomplish three
things with the swap.

First; is to soften the ride of the truck, I have ridden in the baby
F250 (6700 lb GVW) and they ride much smoother than this one. Does anybody
have a set they took out when they lifted their truck ? A bit more on this
line, I am assuming that the F250 springs are the same regardless of what
the axle is.....correct ? And for the really dedicated F250 guy, did the
spring rates change depending on how the truck was optioned, ie A/C vs. non
A/C etc, inside the same GVW code. If so how much. (not asking much here..)
The wild card here is an F150 4x4 Super cab, leaf sprung but what was the
spring rate ?

Second; Want to lift the front about 2" over stock, just want the
truck level. No rocket science here but nobody makes a 2" lift for this
chassis. I want to put an add-a-leaf on the lightest factory spring and
hopefully level the truck at a lower spring rate that I currently have.
Would rather be nose down than rough....

Third, would like a bit more articulation. I am not building a rock
crawler here, but I am tired of the doors binding with one front tire on a
curb. The spring and swaybar combination is so effective on this thing that
an 8" block under one tire will lift the other one of the ground..... Great
for carrying a camper but poor for doing everything else. (would out corner
a buddys Trans Am but thats another story...)

Thats the non-lifted part of the story. If I can't find or do what I nned
here I have considered one of the 4" "softride" style lift kits. If anybody
has run one of these I am interested in hearing about the plusses and
minuses..

Thanks
Chris

Thanks in advance,

add to it. Dont for one instance EVER consider using this stuff. All you
have to do is get a small leak in the evap. and next thing ya know, BOOM.
At
the very least, you'll be painting your eyebrows on for the rest of your
life. Also steer away from Mexican R-12, which is (By my sources) up to 50%
propane. >>

To each his own, but there are some alternatives to F12. Yes, propane
works.. And for those of you who say it is flammable yes, it is. But you
use only about half the amount that you would F12 so you end up with maybe 15
to 20 ounces in the system. That is not much considering it is enclosed
without oxygen. Now if it all leaked into your closed garage over night it
is such a small amount that it does not create a hazard. If you want to get
burned try the gasoline. Beyond pure propane is some stuff I've been using
for several years, and so are the farmers near here in their field equipment.
It is called DURACOOL, and made in Edmonton, Canada (not propane, but
probably close). Costs $12 for a 6oz can that is equivalent to 17 oz of F12.
It is good and safe to temperatures of 1627 degrees F, but you should not
expose it directly to flame because it will burn. Creates less head,
compressor works less lasts longer, increases capacity (carries more load).
Why, then you ask is it not used in the US?? I believe it is purely
economics with the US companies making the various freons, (Trade name of
DuPont) they do not want a cheap substitute for their livelihood.
Organizations like ASHRE work hand in hand with the manufactures and they
provide a lot of free or almost free training nationwide (very good training)
but I think a small part of their agenda is to keep the HVAC people against
the idea of using this very cost effective, environmentally safe, and
physically safe product from putting the hurts on R134a manufactures.
(Discredit the alternatives by turning them into jokes) For any one who
thinks Freon is safe, try blowing some in your face while inhaling on a
cigarette, it may be your last breath as the heat from will convert it to
phosgene gas which will promptly kill you. And last, the process used to
make the various Freons is one where methane or ethane (very close to
propane) is Haligenated (chlorine and or Fluorine is attached to the
monocule) this makes it less flammable but much more toxic. Please use your
own judgment, but as for me I think the Canadians have the right idea. I
fully respect the ideas of those of you who are against the alternatives. I,
for one will not use natural gas or propane to heat with in my house, it
scares me, and I am definitely not in favor of using this product on a large
unit (such as 5 pound charge or more). This I do believe is a fire hazard,
but not in the very small quantities we use in our trucks and cars. Thanks
for your patience.
