You will not be able to "adjust" the trans but I bet you have a "low" set
of gears in the rear-end. My 66 has a 4:56. Fortunately, (for me) I don't
like to hot rod it around. The rear gears are something you can change.
Check the door tag and/or axle for a code. Someone will be able to help you
from there.

Thanks,

I guess I'll show how little I know about Fords.
My wife was outside looking at my truck w/me and asked,"Why does it say
CUSTOM on the side of a completely STOCK truck?" to which I answered
"well....because its a Ford.":-) She just gave me a funny look and said
"Whatever"..... Does anyone else Know what Ford considers custom? Now my
truck has pwr brakes,auto trans.,other than that it doesn't have power
anything,no chrome(except grill & the words CUSTOM) It still has the
original plastic plate on the dash where the radio is supposed to go.

My truck suddenly (really!) started using oil. I don't think it's thru
the rings/valves; as the spark plugs are fine.

For FE engines; is there a common thing that causes rapid oil
lose?

Josh,

On any engine that starts losig oil like you described, I would look for the
oil pressure sending unit first. They tend to crack and leak profusely
without warning. If you have lights instead of guages, you would never know
the difference until the knocking began.

>> So you are of the opinion that new trucks are cheaper to own than

part on an old truck?? Or a TPS on an "old" truck?? How about a MAS
on an "old" truck?? Maybe you should be spouting your advice on the
"New" truck list.

Let me explain it to you in short words you'll hopefully understand,
this list is about loving and keeping old trucks running. We (as in the
royal We) are here to give advice and moral support on the weakness
"We" have for old trucks. I used to drive a modern truck, aside from a
lack of torque and fuel economy, it was made of less than adequate
stuff.

Preach on, Brother Steve!! I get the same ##!% from people all of the time,
even SWMBO. "Why don't you get a new truck?" Let's see, I figure at least
$600 a month payment for what I would buy, another $50 or so a month on
insurance. Let's see, 600 times 12 comes out to 7200 plus 600 on insurance
equals $7800 per year. I could turn Henry into a #1 Concours show truck for
that kind of cash!

Unless you want to keep it totally stock you would probably be better off
putting in a 250 out of a 69/70 era passenger car. Almost 50% increase in
displacement. Rebuilding a lager engine will always give you more bang for
the buck.

============================================================================
Josh, something else to check if you have no major leaks is the oil return
holes in the head. They let oil return to the pan after running off the
valvetrain. If they get plugged up with gunk and debri, oil builds up in the
valve cover until it gets up to the valve stems. After that, engine vacuum
will suck it into the engine and burn it. (even with good valve seals) They
can burn a BUNCH of oil this way, but usually smoke pretty bad. Over the
years, I've seen this happen often on F-E's, Windsors and "lesser" engines
from the General, so check it out too. Good luck, Phil

What are the advantages and disadvantages of aluminum vs. cast iron
intake manifolds? I've heard that aluminum heads on an iron block may have
difficulty maintaining a seal because of the different expansion rates. This
sounds logical to me, but wouldn't an aluminum intake combined with cast
iron block & heads also have similar difficulty maintaining a seal? Don't
aluminum blocks have steel sleeves? What about the type of antifreeze used?

Yo Gary, et al:

I have seen references to this, but last time I looked up a flywheel through a
dealer, Ford listed the same part number for both 351M and 400. Maybe both
pressure plates use the same holes or the flywheel is set up for both clutches?
I don't know. (I can assure you that the 351W clutch will not fit on an M-block
flywheel, after involuntarily testing that theory for Summit Racing a couple
years ago.)

Your chronology of the 335 family development is correct, but I am not familiar
w/ the "Midland" Ford plant. Every M-block I've ever seen was cast at either
the Michigan Casting Center (MCC) or the Cleveland Foundry (CF). Both blocks
and heads were cast at both plants, as well as intake and exhaust manifolds.

I also subscribe to the theory that there is no "official" name associated w/
the "M" designation, as I have never seen it in an official Ford document and
the author of my favorite M-block book (Tom Monroe) says so. Obviously, the
"modified" name has a pretty big popular following, though.

It reminds me of time I was putting a 351W together
and had the remains of two vintages laying around.
Put it together and went to mount the water pump and
realized much to my dismay that I had just put the
reverse rotation serpentine belt front cover on when I
needed the standard rotation v-belt cover. Anyone
who's done a Windsor (or like Gary, a 460) cover twice
knows how much fun the front pan seal is to get back
in right.

Does anyone know who makes a rear sump oil-pump pickup

can't seem to find it. The counterman at Ford says he
can't find one in their book either, but my friend who
usually comes through is on vacation. Just needing a
source.

The 390 is at the machine shop. And I'm getting
anxious to get it back together. I still need to find
the adjustable rockers and cup-style pushrods for it
without getting robbed. I wish I could find a set of
the Sealed Power shaft and rocker assemblies all
together new (or even slightly used) and priced right.
The rockers alone are about $200 according to the
counterman. He didn't have a price on the assemblies
or pushrods. I'm using the CompCams 270S-10
224d

.050 and .518 lift, so I have to have the
adjustable rockers. (I'd want them for the hydraulics
too really)

Thanks John, the support is appreciated, you are correct in
saying the costs of owning a new truck far exceed the cost
of a fine old Ford. With a base price in the high teens, and
options reaching 30K, thats a h*ll of a lot of parts and paint.
You see, as tall as I am, I don't fit into too many "mini" trucks,
and I *LIKE* big old trucks. I hope the lister didn't take offence
to what I said, But I did wait about 5 calm-down hours before I
replied to his post.

Just to make this a "legal" FTE post, The "cracked manifold" I was
told the '68 390 had turned out to be Mechanics Error. He used new
bolts on the exhaust manifolds. They're about 2" long, and bottomed
out in the holes. So a new set of gaskets are in order, as they're
burned beyond recognition. This alledged mechanic (moron) didn't use
any anti-sieze either.
I went and talked to my buddy who works at the same shop, There on
an engine stand is an Honest To God '66 HiPo 289, I say "Wow, a HiPo289"
one of the mechs says "Yeah, it's for a Mustang". I start to snicker and say
"NKay" Brad (my Bud) laughs and says " He's forgotten more about these
than you'll ever know." Then starts talking about the '57.....

Subject: FTE 61-79 - Split manifold for I-6 240/300?

Did some later 300 engines have split (two-piece) exhaust manifolds, and if
so, what years? I don't want to use headers on my 240, but I would consider
these manifolds if they are available at my local junkyards, and if they
offer any advantages. Is a dual exhaust system beneficial on a straight
six?

I will be rebuilding the 240 in the springtime and I want to consider some
different options before making any decisions. I'm looking for some mild
improvements, but am mostly concerned with having a reliable engine for
city use.

Thanks,
don
