<< Dear Ford Buddies, Does anyone out there know who makes headers for a 460 that will fit my 67 1/2 ton, besides Sanderson and L&L? The L&L headers are $450.00 thats a bit steep for my wallet. The Sanderson headers will require a lot more work at the muffler shop which means more money. How hard would it be to make my own? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.... >> Take a look at stans-headers.com, but do not immediately be scared off by the price list. I got a set nickel plated inside and out for $360. I liked the concept of the Tri-Y design so I called and talked to Stan. He was very familiar with the 67-72 Ford 4x4s with the 460 modification. We discussed clearing the X-member at the front of the transmission. He recommend his stock number 244YL, which I bought, the L stands for "long" meaning they drop down far enough to clear lowest X-member that Ford installed. I have them installed and they fit great, the only thing I had to do was to move to left about an inch the brake system 4-way valve. Like I said Call Stan and ask for Stan, the Web Site lists headers for $100 more than I paid. The prices listed are for headers that have a 3/8s plate, the 1/4 plate is $100 cheaper and according Stan their precision cutting and forming make it as leak resistant as the 3/8. Good Luck.

Date: Fri, 1 Sep 2000 10:59:05 -0500 Subject: RE :question from a true novice I had the 240 I-6 ( same motor, different crank, I believe ). I had the exact same probablem. Good strong motor, but, got hot and weak above 70 mph. I had 3.7 to 1 gears, then I changed to 3.0 to 1 gears. That solved my highway problems, and I went from 9 miles per gallon to 12 miles per gallon. That engine was strong enough that it still pulled plenty hard enough for the light towing and towing of my friend's dead Ch#vies that I do. It set me back $150, though. After 2 years, I think that it paid for itself in fuel. Last year, I went to a 302 v-8. It went from 12 mpg to 14 mpg, but, other than that, I was dissapointed. Pulling power went way down. The engine really did not come alive until 65 to 70 mph. Then it was great. Sorry about rambling, I miss my old Ford friend. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE Internet Access!

Subject: Re: engine with no cam shaft Date: Fri, 1 Sep 2000 09:12:20 -0700 Absolutely! My '86 Delt 88 has no dist. Nice in the fact that I don't
have to worry about adjusting ANYTHING, but crummy in the fact that a small magnet that bolts to the cam gear to actuate the cam position sensor needed to be replaced and cost me $35 from my smiling Olds dealer, Never mind the removal of the timing cover to replace said lousy, cheap $$ part.
FTE content - I drove my '77 E150 to get the part. The sales lizards didn't even bother me.

Subject: parts truck Well, what do you know? One just landed in my lap. It is a '72 F250 camper special with all the goodies: PB, PS, C-6 Auto, FE, bed with toolbox, dual tanks, ranger trim, even a separate motor generator mounted under the hood (could this possibly be factory?). $650. I haven't seen it yet, but it purports to be more solid than the one I am working on. It may become the primary and my present truck the secondary. I am going to look at it this weekend.

Date: Fri, 1 Sep 2000 13:57:11 -0500 (CDT) Subject: Re: engine with no cam shaft. I havent even visited the web site you guys are talking about but I do know quite a bit about the topic.... the Coates Spherical Rotary Valve engine was in a magazine about a year ago. They featured exploded views, specs, statistics and everything. They now sell kits to convert the Chevrolet 350 and the Ford 5.0L to Rotary Valve engines... Mr Coates (his first name is Robert I think) tried to market his patented design to the Big 3 (Ford, GM and Dodge) and none of them would even give him the time of day. Last I heard Mazda is eventualy going to equip thier engines with his design. The idea behind his design is fairly simple and effective. He has taken the cam shaft (most of it), lifters, pushrods, rockers and poppet valves out of an engine and replaced them with 4 shafts (1 intake and 1 exhaust in each cyl head). On each shaft there is 4 drum shaped balls that have a passage through them that rotate by a crank driven chain. When the opening on each drum passes the port it is controlling it allows air/fuel or exhaust to pass through the drum into (or out of) the combustion chamber. (depending on which shaft we are talking about). He has retained part of the cam shaft to drive the distributer and oil pump (obviously on GM's it will be the full length of the engine). Doing so he has eliminated another part of an engine that has to change direction. now the components just spin on a shaft. This now makes valve float impossible and substantualy reduces the amount if dead friction and resistance created by a cam shaft and the valve springs.

Sigh... > >Later, > >Eric Finn >'78 Bronco "The Beast" (Project still in progress) >'95 Mustang GT "Beauty" (daily driver) > John and Eric, Winter grade vs. summer grade gasolines have some differences which have to do with the RVP (Reid Vapor Pressure). They sell a fuel in the winter or cooler months that has many more vapors (higher RVP)to help the fuel burn better to help offset the cooler temps. In the summer or warmer months they sell a fuel that has a lower RVP because the warmer temps make up for the lower RVP. Years ago when I worked for Ashland Petroleum Co. in one of their marine/truck terminal bulk plants, the quality control on dates these high and low RVP products could be sold and used was very strict and heavily enforced by the state which came to take samples very often during the transition months. Mid-March if I remember in TN for the lower RVP fuel and mid Oct for higher RVP product. As far as quality of the fuels being different, I doubt it very much. Gasoline and diesel are rigidly tested before leaving the refinery and meet the minimum standards. Each company also has its own Q control which varies. C***o used to be one of the most laxed and Amoco and Exxon the strictest. I am certain if it says 87 octane it most likely is......RVP will cause one to run a little different depending on many little variables........ I have seen batches of product come into the Ashland terminal from an Exxon bulk plant in Atlanta via pipeline(and practically every other major supplier) and sold as unbranded and branded product depending on who was buying it (example Shell) - all through an Ashland terminal. The exact same product was being shipped across town that same afternoon to Exxon and sold as Exxon branded product - Go figure. The only differences were the additives and detergents put into gasolines. Our 87 products had a lower percentage of additive than 89 and premium. In my years working for Ashland, 87 was never tested lower than 87.3 or so and the mid grades and premiums were well within their specs too. Diesel, especially, is tested on site for flashpoint once it arrives via barge or pipeline. Kerosene, if to be sold as K-1 is also very heavily scrutinized in the K-1 certification process. If it makes you feel any better, I have also had to go up this summer on my '95 Crown Vic from 87 to 89 octane due to some pinging. My V-10 Excursion pings ever so slightly on 89 when under load which I know is sometimes normal for any engine ......I will switch back this fall to 87 in it to see how they both run.

Any parts house that carries Pioneer products should be able get them for you. Best Regards, Steve/FishmasterFred ------------------------------ From: "G & J Boling" <flash1 alltel.net>

<< Does anyone know what the vacuum fittings on the thermostat housing and the manifold do, what temp are they set to, >> Yes, This is a vacuum switch activated by higher engine coolant temperatures. When the engine is running hotter (around 235 degrees), this switch allows manifold vacuum to the advance port on the distributor even at idle. I am told this will cool down a hot running engine in heavy traffic. The way I have seen them connected is: Top # 1 position is for spark advance port from the above throttle plate vacuum on the carburetor (only gets vacuum when the engine is revved) Middle D port is connected to the advance port on the distributor which is the forward most connection on it. Bottom # 2 port is for manifold vacuum (gets vacuum at all times while engine is running). There are other setups for this, but this is the only one I am familiar with personally. By the way, it does work on my 72 Torino on hot days. Hope this helps, Rollie ------------------------------ From: "Gary" <gpeters3 lni.net>
Subject: Saturday......Beds and run flats.. Date: Sat, 2 Sep 2000 08:52:03 -0700 Well, just because I'm retired now doesn't mean you guys can just quit playing on Saturdays :-) I won't be as interactive as I was from work since I will be jumping in when my wife is taking a nap or I'm not tied up with something else but I hope to keep close tabs on what's happening here and give Wish a run for his money as well :-) I'm off to do some repairs on my wife's wheel chair......not a Ford but they don't make them and this one was free to a good home so I have no shame :-) It's also obsolete since the company that made it is no longer in business :-( Fortunately it's made of metal and uses batteries and mechanical actuators and switches so I don't see a problem with making it work :-) It already has an "Amigo" switch on it which was an exact bolt in :-) I'm going to order the floor metal for my 78 today from JCW, buy some longer shocks for the rear since I added about 4" of leaf spring back there so I can haul 2 tons on it and then I start cleaning up this place :-) Have to keep reminding myself I have the rest of my life to do this stuff so I don't have to get it all done in the first week.......:-) Question: Has anyone ever tried to use a 15", 6 ply, HD tire to haul big loads? The 6 ply give me a few hunded pounds of extra load capacity but not enough, numbers wise, so just curious if anyone has had experience with this, going down the eway at 70 with 2 tons on the back? I haul 2 tons about 5 miles at 45 mph right now and pray all the way with my standard 4 ply Coopers on it. They look like "Run Flats" with a puncture :-( Michigan Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary :-) ------------------------------ From: "Jason and Kathy" <kendrick mddc.com>
Subject: Re: difference between reg. 390 and HD 391 Date: Sat, 2 Sep 2000 08:29:48 -0500 Kirk, the HD 391 won't work in your F250. It is what's called an FT engine. They are commonly found in F600's, for example. It differs from the FE's (360,390,etc) in several ways. The most noticeable differences are the flywheel flange is thicker to accommodate the heavy duty pressure plate and clutch assembly. In order for this motor to work in your truck, you'd need a bell housing and transmission out of a big truck. Also, the crank snout is thicker, to accommodate the pto takeoff that some of these trucks were equipped with. The motor mounts are probably different, too. Some FT's use a different timing cover with the motor mounts on the cover, rather than on the block. Hope I've helped you figure this out, rather than confuse you more! :-) Jason Kendrick Kirk Baillie wrote: > Hi everyone im looking into swapping out my old and worn 360 for a 390 > and I see in the local auto trader a reconditioned HD 391, what is the > difference between the two.

Use to haul a cord of firewood (average 5000 lbs) on a '78 F-150 with 15" bias 6 ply and home-made leaf type overloads. Never had any probs.

SNIP< -> Does anyone out there know who makes headers for a 460 that -> will fit my 67 1/2 ton, besides Sanderson and L&L? The L&L headers are $450.00 -> thats a bit steep for my wallet. The Sanderson headers will require alot -> more work at the muffler shop which means more money. How hard would it be -> to make my own? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.... SNIP< I have to get back to the shop but I'll toss in my .02, before I do. I spend a bunch of time building headers and exhaust. Best bang for the buck is the Sanderson Headers I spent $278 for a set recently. They are one of the better made mass produced headers from a quality of build standpoint. 3/8" Flange Decent tube wall, and stacked collector rings. From the ultimate power producing standpoint they are a joke... But far less of a joke then the stock manifolds! Yes, you will have to work harder on the exhaust on the passenger side. A decent Muffler shop will take an extra 15-20 Min. I built the exhaust and I spent no longer on the passengers side then on the Drivers side... $450 for the L&L's is a good price again for a good quality product. If you want to build them yourself you can get a good idea what your looking at for prices here: http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.headersbyed.com/ Another good site is: http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.stahlheaders.com/ If your going to spend a bunch of time and keep your truck forever then do'em in Stainless: http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.burnsstainless.com/ As much as this will delight Gary... If the $$ are tight you could have your manifolds cleaned and bead blasted .... To access the rest of this feature you must be a logged in Registered User Of Ford Truck Enthusiasts
