Two trees and a hoist would allow you to easily remove the engine, but I
wouldn't want to install one like that. An engine hoist with load leveler
(on a hard level surface) would make the job much easier, and could be
rented when you're ready. Spend a little extra time to label things with
tape (wires, hoses, etc) when removing the old engine because it really
makes assembly much easier. If you can't afford to buy a book, then borrow
one from the library as it could save you a lot of time, work, and money. A
Chilton would help but Steve Christ's book "How to Rebuild Big-Block Ford
Engined" with ISBN # "0-89586-070-8" would probably be more useful.

Hi Darrell
I would also suggest that you remove the radiator, fan and hood (scribe
around the hinges with an awl). If you are not going to pull the trans
with the engine make sure it is supported. You didn't mention the type
of trans but if it's a manual change out the clutch and if it's an auto
make sure to change the front seal.

Yes ! the fastest and easiest way I know is to look at the area on the top of
the
block where the thermostat housing bolts to the block . If it's a cleveland
then this area is the same height as the area where the manifold sets on the
block . If it's a 351 M or 400 then the area under the manifold will be about
an inch taller than where the thermostat sets on the block . Thats all you
need to look at !
Hope this helps .

Subject: FTE 61-79 - C-6 Transmission slippage

This is only my second question to the list, so please bear with me. The
other day I was driving around by one of our local lakes in my 70 f-100
(w/390 and C-6) mostly speeds under 10 miles per hour, when the transmission
started slipping something awful. I managed to get it back to the main road
and call a freind of mine to tow me home. When we got to my house I put it
in gear to try to put it in the driveway and it went in like there was no
problem. I smelled the fluid and it does not smell burnt and it looks good
also. I wonder if I have the tranny to full of fluid or if the fluid
overheated or both. Could someone please tell me where the fluid should read
on the dipstick when it is cold and when it is hot? and should it read lower
when cold and higher when hot? my last question is, I currently have type F
fluid in it, but my dad had a 77 with a C-6 and he said that I should use
Dexron. If you guys and gals could help me out it would be greatly
appreciated as I dont want to have to rebuild this transmission unless I
have to.


Thank You in advance for all of your help. I really love all the great
information from this site.

Thank You,

This shuld be a pain, getting the engine lined up carrectly is already a
pain with a cherry picker type hoist that you can move around, much less a
hoist you have to move the vehicle around the engine. I would recommend
several friends when installing the engine, and make sure you keep your
hands away from between the engine and anything that an crush them.. Then
engine can get hung up on the frame and seem to be supported, but nudge it
and it goes a swinging, and it's to heavy your you tostop swinging, so
don't try.

Folks,
After 276,000 miles the crank snapped in my '75 390 F100. (A moment of
silence please; RIP FE 390). I'm contemplating replacing the 390/C6 with
a 300 six/stick OD setup, and had a couple of questions:
1.) Do I have to change the frame mounts, and if so what year range will
work, and does that include vans (E100's)?
2.) Do I have to change the tranny crossmember, and if so what year range
will work, and does that include vans (E100's)?
3.) What years clutch pedals and linkages will work?
4.) Is the T&C (toploader; Mexican overdrive) 4spd OD any good, and if
not what manual OD is better behind the 300?
Economics are driving the decision process. The reason I ask about vans
is that my favorite yard is full of E100/300 sixes and the parts are
cheap . Thanks for any 300 tips,
Brett in Spicewood, TX.

Subject: FTE 61-79 - Cummins B motor in 79 Ford pickup
James,
This is a swap I've looked into. I found my scribbled notes, and I
believe Powermark LTD., in Indiana made all the repower parts, but has
since gone out of business. National Fleet Supply picked up their
remaining inventory (317-289-2823). I don't know what they have left. B
series swaps are an excellant choice. A mechanic at Freighliner of
Austin stuck a 4BTA in a Bronco. Womack Diesel Service in Seguin, TX.
(830-303-2755) still does custom B-series repowers. The trickiest part
is mating it up to a bellhousing. The B-series block has a separate
bolt on transmission adapter, that can be had in a variety of
configurations like SAE #2, #3, Chev, Ford, and two different Dodge
configurations. Best bet is to rob everything fan-to-tranny-yoke off
the Dodge. As far as other parts sources, the B-series is incredibly
popular and has ended up powering everthing from tractors to boats to
generator sets to air compressors, so don't overlook tractor, industrial,
tractor, marine, etc. salvage yards for bracketry, parts, etc.
Good Luck!

centrifugal weights on it) when i first drove it at slower speeds i heard
this weird clanging noise, similar to a chain. i looked all under the truck,
no signs of anything. so i continued to drive it for a few days, i had
determined it was those weights on the clutch, boy was i frustrated. after
about three days of this, i noticed the front wheel trying to grab and the
noise seemed to come and go. so immediately when i got home. once again i got
under the truck, looked at all drive line parts, still saw nothing, but when
i started getting out from under the truck i noticed a bolt head inside the
wheel, i pulled the wheel and found an assortment of nuts and bolts, a busted
rotor and a chewed up wheel, all compliments of a darling two year old son
wanting to help daddy.
this is the same son that stuck a couple of screw drivers up the exhaust
pipe of my mustang. now he's about to turn five (july 13) and he is getting
an interest in cars and trucks. he always wants to ride in the old ford truck
or the mustang.

go to ford and buy an oil pan for a 78-79 e350 van with a 460, when i bought
mine it cost about $100.00 for the pan, dip stick tube and oil pick up. but
that was many years ago.

351c has a small block bellhousing pattern, you could measure the difference,
the 351 m has the 429-460 pattern, maybe someone on the list has those
measurements, i can tell the difference by looking at front of the engine but
can't explain to you how to tell.

Hi all,

How much does this Cummins B engine weights compared to a FT engine ?

Last friday I went to the local Ford dealer and there was the new Ford
Ranger pickup with turbodiesel and intercooler, 109 hp, and the mileage
around 37 mpg and that's on a 4x4 truck..... huh...

What would the next be, give them a bottle of gas to smell on, and drive
for 100 miles..... lol
