One of the biggest problems I encounter is external rust that eats away the nut or bolt head so you can't get a wrench on it. I wish there were a miracle spray on sealer/paint that you could spray over oil and grease that would stick and last a while......

Subject: Re: axle gears (full of questions today) Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2000 21:32:25 -0700 4.11's give you 1921 rpm at 60 mph, 4.56 gives you 2131 and 5.14 gives you 2400 at 60. It depends what you want to do with it. The 460 has so much torque you can get away with fairly tall gears. The lower the gears you use the more likely you will be breaking axle parts too, it's all a big compromise. I run 2.75 on my truck with stock tires and wide ratio C-6 and really like the performance but with 44's you have a whole nuther smoke. My setup calculates out to 1958 at 60 in high gear (1:1).

Subject: Re: Shorter pushrods? Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2000 21:55:18 -0700 I was wondering about this myself? There are physical limits to what you can do with stock rockers and springs and if you change the lifters to a non-stock type it may affect the push rod length or if you also change the ratio of the rockers this may require a change but most of these changes are designed to work with stock length push rods AFAIK. Most people just slap in adjustable rockers for these alterations when needed. Actually, in most cases the lifters would adjust for any change in pushrod length up to the point of rattling rockers so it would either be accomodated for or you would have to put the old ones back in because the lifters won't make up the difference. The hotter cam will open the valves more which is why you use it in the first place but the stock springs may "coil bind" and unseat the keepers blowing the engine.....so you "may" need to alter the springs or valve keepers or both to prevent this. Some may not understand this but dual or tripple springs are used for two reasons: 1.. more total pressure.....using..... 2..thinner wire so they can be compressed to a smaller stack for more movement Michigan Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary :-) > Bill B. writes: >>Yes you can run a cam with more lift but you may need to get shorter > pushrods<< > > Wanna splain this to me??

They do have approximately 75cc combustion chambers as opposed the later heads that have approximately 95cc combustion chambers. This makes it fairly easy to raise the compression ratio and get maybe another 100HP. But, it has to be done with some thought as not to end up with an engine that will run on pump gas. However, I think the price is extremely good if you have a use for them or think you can turn them around quickly.

Excessive torque (to the axle) usually results in breakage. High HP usually results in premature wear. So a four wheeler breaks the weakest part of the axle (usually the axle u-joint or the long side shaft) with the engine torque multiplied through the tranny and transfer case, while the high HP Corvette or Cobra wears the teeth off the ring and pinion rather quickly. Also remember that while torque is multiplied through the transmission system (about 5000 ft-lbs in my truck in granny/lo, the HP remains constant in each gear (we'll say 250-300 HP) because the increase in torque is offset by a reduction in RPM output shaft.

Subject: to: james dana 60, gearing and such Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2000 22:13:57 -0400 Actually, I have a 14 bolt GM rear. A friend owns a U-Pull and I'm hoping he'll come across a D60 front end that I can toy with. I might just go ahead and try to weld the D44 C bushing mounts to the D60. This isn't something I was thinking of till recently, but for what I'm planning on doing with the truck, it seems to be the way to go. Do you have a D60 under one or so of your trucks? Hey James, where in Jersey do you live? I'm in Philadelphia and I'd really like to stop buy some time. It would be a tiny trek to see a great collection of 4 '79 Bronco's. Also, to see how things are done right! I seem to be starting a collection of my own... -bob- if you want to email me off the list, you can at xavetarx home.com

Subject: 460 heads Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2000 03:27:34 GMT Okay take a deep breath and say this 3 times fast.... DzeroVE (1970)heads feature a 10.5:1 compression ratio, 75.8 cc combustion chamber 2.08/1.66 valves (nothing special) and positive stop rocker arms and rail type rocker arms. (cast iron and non adjustabe I think) If one set of heads has a C9VE cast into it, it's a 1969 head, has has a sightly smaller cumbustion chamber (73.5cc for 11.3:1 C/R) and larger valves (2.24/1.725) These are supposedly CJ, SCJ and Police heads. Don't quote me though, this is information that I am copying out of a book that was written over 20 years ago(You know, the book written by Tom Monroe) For comparison purposes, 460 heads with a casting number of D2/D3VE will have a significantly lower C/R, 8.5:1, D4VE have 8.0:1 C/R and both have stamped steel non adj. rocker arms. They have the same valve sizes as the D0VE head. I paid $87.24 ($10 core and $16 for an exchange guarantee) for my set from a junkyard, and I had to pull them myself. $100 isn't bad (IMHO) IF he will swap you out for the other heads if they check out bad at the machine shop, or give you your $$$ back (you loose out on what it cost you to get 'em checked) then yeah I think it would be a decent price. If they look brand new( i.e. he had them rebuilt and never ran them) then yeah it's an awesome price. Remeber this though, chances are that you will need to have the heads gone through (more than likely they are warped)and will possibly need a complete rebuild or at least a good 3 angle valve job. If you dont mind gettin dirty and waiting for a while for a set to roll around, try out your local junkyards, you might be able to turn up a set or two for a bit less green and score some other cool stuff while you are at it. good hunting.

<< Hello list, Can anyone give me some insight into dual exhausts on a '79 f150 4x4 351M 4sp dual tanks. I want to keep my stock manifolds for now. Is there anyway to run the exhaust down both sides or would I have to run both down the ditch side. If I do then would it better to exit both on the same side or run another pipe over at the back end. It seems like this would make one pipe run a heck of a lot longer than the other. If I ran a crossover pipe would this make it not matter. Thanks. >> The choice is really up to you. with most 4x4's it's hard to get the pipe around the xfer case. This makes the dual "ditch side" look more attractive. One possible alternative if you want the exit on both sides look is to route the Pass side pipe over to the drivers side and let the drivers side exhaust on the pass side. This would keep both approx equal length and avoid the hassles getting the pipe around the drivers side xfer case. George in Fl. ------------------------------ From: TBeeee aol.com

Date: Monday, September 25, 2000 3:11 PM Subject: [61-79-list] Thank you everyone > >Thanks everyone for all the information, and I do have a haynes or chilton its out in the truck at the moment so I'm not sure which it is. I do know somethings but I'm still just learning. . . I didn't have a father around all the time to teach me. And at that point in my life I was more interested in working at making money than working on cars anyway. (Typical teenage girl) > >Apparently the guy that had this truck did a few alterations (Tom said something about changing the electronic ignition to points) but he got that worked out. . . like I said to begin with this was an oops truck. . . If I'd a known that Tom hadn't checked it out and didn't want me to bid on it I wouldn't have. . . at least not without checking it out myself, in which case I wouldn't have with all we could see wrong with it after the auction, but after I won the auction I had no choice. > >I do have another running vehicle (I'm driving Tom's Shelby Charger around Portland and St. Helens) but Tom has a job interview at the end of the week for a job in Colorado Springs and if he gets it they said they want the position filled last month so we'll have to move rather quickly (within say two weeks being generous). I need the truck able to tow the Charger to Colorado. Tom will drive out the Shadow and take the bus back and then use the Moving truck to tow the Porsche. > >It won't be so hectic after the end of the week we'll more than likely know by Monday if we have to move. If we don't I can slowly work on the truck; clean out the garage and try to move it in there (if it will fit even cleaned out <G>). > >Tom knows what he's doing mechanically and electrically, the problem is with his hours there is no daylight left to work on the vehicles. . . I've done more mechanical work in the last three months on the vehicles than I have in the nearly 12 years we've been married. <G> > >Sorry I'm being so full of questions but Y'all often have better ways than the Manuals that are just as good but take less time and more ingenuity. . . its from experience. . . If I could afford the phone calls I'd be calling Tom's and My Dads. But they each live in different states and neither use email but maybe twice a month. ....
