I had a tall cam put in and used the lifters and valve springs recommended for my cam. But what I thought was one lifter ended up being about 8 lifters. I found this out by pulling off the valve covers and using a piece of rubber tubing to listen to the top of the valve stem. The ticking noise wasn't loud, not like a completely collapsed lifter, but it was loud enough to hear inside the cab, and like you said it faded in and out. Like you, I double checked my preload and everything was correct. When I took it to my Grandfather, who is a well known mechanic/machinist in this area, he told me that the increased lift simply made the valve train a little louder and more noticeable than a stock valve train. I've put 5000 miles on the engine so far and it hasn't gotten any worse. I have decided to ignore it. My neighbor's truck makes the same noise and it doesn't bother him. Not the most scientific approach in the world, but your not alone. Sam FE guys, I just installed a new cam, springs, and lifters in my truck, but now I am getting a slight ticking noise. Last night I pulled the manifold to check the lifters and cam and everything looks real good. The lifters where perfect on the bottom and there was oil everywhere. I should also note that the original pushrods where to long (I figure because of the reground cam that was in it) and I ended up replacing all of the pushrods with ones that where .040 shorter. I measured the preload on the lifters and everything looks fine. Anyone have any suggestions on other things to look for that could be ticking... I can't figure out where it is coming from. Oh, one last thing... I am thinking of putting up a web site dedicated to ford FE engines, and am wondering how many people would be willing to contrib info, or even use the site.

Kerns" Subject: Need Sources for 429/460 Exhaust Manifolds (not headers) Hi, I have a 429 that is supposed to be of '68-ish vintage in my '79 F-250 4x4. When I got the truck, the passenger side exhaust manifold had a big crack in it. Apparently not too uncommon on these engines. I looked all over town, and finally found one in a junkyard, still attached to a junked 429, which coincidentally had been in a '68 T-Bird. Only thing that was weird about it was that it was apparently an "improved" part. Instead of being a relatively smooth round casting, this one had raised cast "ribs" running lengthwise down the outside of it, which the junkyard dude reckoned were to add strength (because of the aforementioned propensity to cracking), but now that I think about it, could also be for cooling I guess. Anyway, 10 years later, the original smooth-looking one on my driver's side has a crack in it, so I need another one. Can anyone recommend a good source for these (preferably the improved type, but the original type is fine, too)? It was hard enough finding one ten years ago, and apparently that was the extent of the local supply (Cincinnati, OH).

THanx JON >> It has been my recent experience that these are available from your local wrecking yard. I happen to have 2 doors I might let go cheap, do you live near here. What is a front panel? There are places on the net to find these parts but they get premium prices, can not think of a name right now. However, the wrecking yard will run you $100 to $150. And you probably will not have to deal with shipping.
