Subject: Re: 351c 2v vs 4v Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 06:34:46 -0500 Trust me, you don't want to run the 4v heads and intake on a truck application unless you plan to put 4.56 gears and slicks on it. In a mustang I don't think it will matter much either way but the 4v cleveland will flat wake up in the 3k rpm range and up.....wide awake :-) But it sleeps at anything below that. I too am looking at the 360 degree offy and no one has responded with experience with it yet that I've seen? The 335 series is a dry manifold so all manifolds made for it will reflect that and it's not something you need to worry about since there are no other engines who's manifolds will fit it. The heads interchange between it and the small block 302 and windsor but you have to drill some coolant holes and pay attention to gaskets etc.... Bore spacing and head bolt patterns and pushrod holes are the same but that's about it :-) -- Michigan, Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary -- >I am putting a 72 351 Cleveland in a 83 mustang. > >From what I have learned the 2v setup (intake and heads) is for low end >torque. > >The 4v setup (intake and heads) was for high end torque. ------------------------------ From: "Peters, Gary (G.R.)" Subject: Re: greetings and more manifold questions. Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 06:44:47 -0500 Leave the 2v heads on it and get a 4v manifold to fit those heads, not the 4v heads.....the ports in the 4v heads will swollow the whole manifold for a 2v......won't fit or work well. You will not be happy with the 4v heads on a bronco application unless you also add a 871 blower to get the velocity back up at low rpms. Does your buddy's manifold have the rochester carb pattern? Is it for a cleveland or a M? If 351m/400 style I am interested in it and would pay shipping if he's willing. The engine commonly called the Cleveland has a lower deck height than the M and requires a different manifold. -- Michigan, Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary -- >you.

Subject: Re: Off topic, cats and dogs....GRRRRRRr! #$#$#$## Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 07:08:50 -0500 Not in my yard or trash bags they don't! Can you imagine city mangers being so blind that they insist that you use trash bags instead of cans or dumpsters in a city full of inconsiderate dog and cat owners and then fine you for littering when they tear it up while you sleep??? I'm so glad I live in the country where I can keep my trash in a large dumpster, out of reach of inconsiderate cat owner's cats! (note, I'm not smiling here) I once told my neighbor that if my dog happened to get out and get into his stuff he should shoot it because I would rather not have one if it gets into other peoples stuff. He, of course declined as would I if my neighbors had come to me in that manner and had made the slightest effort to control their pets......Instead I warned THEM that I would shoot to kill if they didn't control them and the healthy trees in my yard are testimony that I meant what I said. I'm not a mean person but I won't sit idle and watch my property be destroyed by pets of inconsiderate, pompous, biggots and that after many warnings. But don't worry, I no longer own a gun of any kind, I finally realized I don't have the right personality for it....but I have other ways......:-) Not many loose cats around where I live anymore for some reason.....or coons or ground hogs either :-) When God made all these animals they were in balance and were not bred and fed by inconsiderate humans. There was no mistake on his part, he had a good plan. We know where the problem came from don't we? -- Michigan, Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary -- >Now there I have to disagree with you.

Subject: Re: U-JOINTS OR REAREND Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 07:38:18 -0500 Several other things to look at while you are down there are the yokes attachment to the input and output shafts on the rear end and tranny and also rear end gear lash. There is only supposed to be about 0.008" clearance between the pinion and ring gear. Most old trucks will have some wear and at some point it begins to cause a mismatch of the involute geometry of the gear teeth so the no longer slide smoothely but click and clack causing a vibration you can feel. Ujoints usually show up at cruise speeds above 45 mph or so but ring gear wear should show more under power as will a loose yoke but a loose yoke may be felt at cruise too and decelleration When checking for gear lash, remember that the axle splines and spider gears all add to the sensation so you "should" feel much more than 0.008" free play in the rear end. The only way I know to be sure is to pull it and check the gear lash by itself. -- Michigan, Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary -- >way to go with trouble shooting.

Had it apart to put new cab to frame mounts, shocks on all 4 corners, floor pan etc. I have been fixing all the seams and doing some body work. Changed the rear u-joints last night and got it ready to drive today. Almost forgot how much I enjoyed driving my truck. I tend to drive it a little slower and more relaxed than I do my other vehicles(manufacturers names I wont mention). The rush hour traffic to work wasn't bad(or my perception of it). Life is truly good when you can drive a vehicle that you really enjoy. Although I did enjoy the on-ramp to the highway where I did get the oportunity to dust a new D #ge truck!!!! Then slowed down to my regular cruise and let him pass, just to keep a little of his vehicles mucho $$$ pride.

Most decisions I have seen made by parents regarding children are made in the best interest of the parents, not the children. If you don't want to properly supervise a pet, don't get one. If you don't want to properly raise and supervise a child YOURSELF, don't have one. I've worked in the public schools for 21 years now.

Acutally yes, there are advantages to both ... the oil bath does a better job of cleaning the air, and can take a bit more junk before it quits working, a good example is when Mt. St. Helens exploded back in ...well a while ago ... the bobcats they were using to clear the ash would suddenly lose power and die ... but the old ones kept chugging along ... the oil bath filters left the ash on top of the oil and bubbled the air through just like always, whereas the paper filters were clogging and not letting any air through ... The advantage of the paper filters is that they don't suck nearly as much power out of the system, its much easier to get air through a paper filter than an oil bath ... also less mess when you change it ... or tip it accidently ...

I'm glad I was a kid back in the '30s and '40s, (in Memphis and Kansas City). Everybody was freer then. The kids, as well as the dogs. cats, rabbits, squirrels, snakes, and every other creature, roamed anywhere they wanted. It was a great life. And a dog was not thought of as a "pet", unless maybe he was some old lady's Pekingnese that never got out of the house. He was thought of as a dog and he had a life like anybody else. FTE content. Back in those days, a kid or a dog could ride in the back of a pick-up.

I didn't know that people were breeding and feeding coons and ground hogs, or rabbits, squirrels, snakes, birds, or any other creature, that might come upon your cat poison. And I think it's strange that the one person on this list who has mentioned that he has strong religious feelings would find it so easy to kill any stray animal that came on his property. It must be some kind of religion I've never heard of. ------------------------------ From: "Tim and Pam Allgire" Subject: Re: [61-79-list]Kids and dogs Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 13:49:55 -0500 Hello,this is a '61-'79 Ford truck site--Not "Pets are Us" -----Original Message----- From: Kiernan, Denny To: 61-79-list ford-trucks.com <61-79-list ford-trucks.com> Date: Friday, February 25, 2000 1:15 PM Subject: [61-79-list] [61-79-list]Kids and dogs >John LaGrone wrote: >> >> Children do not need to run loose unattended in restaurants, the >> neighborhood, grocery stores, the mall....

Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 10:48:59 -0800 Years ago, I installed a steering stabilizer on my (at the time) boss's '86 E350. He raved over it, said it made the van much more pleasureable to drive. Fast forward to today, I have a '77 E150. It likes to follow grooves in the road and seems to require constant correction. Might a stabilizer be a good idea here? (The front end and gearbox are not sloppy.) I can't seem to find steering stabilizers listed for pre '82 E150's. ASFAIK, the suspension didn't really change. Anyone offer any insight?

More FTE content : the record for my truck I think was 14 counting the people in the cab ... we all waved at the cop as we passed, he waved back ...
