Yeah, anyone I've talked to that has done it has found it much easier just to cut the rivets holding the brackets in place and replace them with bolts when you put it back together.

Subject: Re: 76 4x4 radius arm and axle bushings Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2000 09:24:21 -0700 AFAIK the 78's came with bolted brackets. Now, lets tell the gentleman what kind of bolts to put in when he replaces the originals......:-) The reason I did it the roll away way is because I was changing all the bushings and installing shocks. Removing the brackets would have been more work in that case......for me :-) When I rebuilt the front end I did remove the brackets and replaced all the bolts in everything as well with grade............:-) I'm a firm believer in removing only enough to get the job done but in some cases more is actually easier and time saving which is one reason the second or third time you do the same job it always "Seems" to go faster for some reason :-) Michigan Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary :-) > >When I did mine on my Bronco (79) I started with the Roll the axle bit.

Subject: Re: Syntehtic vs. Dino Oil was Anti-Seize Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2000 09:38:41 -0700 I know that truck engines use steel cranks but when the bearings are past the copper the crank is usually trashed. All I've seen were in any case. That was a pretty lucky break for you, eh? Just curious where you found 5 gallons of STP and what size containers it came in. I've only seen the pint or 1/2 pint (not sure) size. I once attempted to "Fix" some very loose bearings with 90 wt gear lube. What I didn't understand was that the oil had to get through the small drilled passages in the crank and other places to properly lube things. Needless to say everything burned up due to "lack" of oil in about 20 minutes of driving and it threw a rod through the block. There is one valid use for STP and it's stated on the can. It is basically a very high detergent oil additive and it did free up the lifters on my 352 once when I used it for that purpose. I've never seen any other benefits from using it in any other engine but an old gentleman once made a statement to me (when I made an erroneous statement) that "you can't argue with success" and I have to agree. It may be a fluke but if it works.......:-) Michigan Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary :-) > > require STP. Amzing stuff though.

It may be a fluke but if it works.......:-) If you want to check your engine oil to see what it is doing inside your engine, try this little experiment. 1. Get a new bottle of your favorite brand of oil. 2. Reach up under the engine somewhere and get your hands real greasy with that black gooey junk that everyone's engine has on it somewhere except Stu's. A cold engine works better. A greasy differential would work well, too. 3. Pour a palm full of the new oil on your hands and scrub it around like you do soap. If your hands loose the gunk to the oil, then you have made a good choice detergent wise. If not, then I guess that's why the inside of your engine looks the way it does. Don't do this test a whole bunch as it has been shown that prolonged and repeated exposure of bare skin to motor oil can cause cancer.

They developed this engine for 3 years secretly and then popped the proposal to NASCAR that they were getting way too fast for the tracks so they should reduce the cubes allowed. This tactic knocked the Ford 427 and Chrysler 426 hemi out of the competition and left GM with the only viable "Under 400" race engine for several years which regained GM the supremecy they wanted to boost car sales. Every time they start to lose to Ford they get the rules changed instead of coming up with a better mouse trap........ What I'm saying is that the 396 was race bred and should have been pretty awesome. Did I miss something? The State Police used the 383 for many years too and it was a pretty awesome interceptor in police trim. I'm sure it wouldn't hold up against modified big block engines but for what it was it was pretty decent. Cubes still rule but I did see an awesome bird doing 14's with a 2300 with dual turbos set up on it.

Hmmm, I don't remember any of this, but I'm pretty sure the motor came out before it saw any NASCAR usage ... in the old 66/7 Chevelle's, and I know Ford an Dodge were still runnin the 426/7's then ... all the Chevy guys I've talked to call it a truck motor 'cause its just too heavy and adds too much nose weight to the car without adding enough additional power (course it would never be enough power :) ... I'd heard some of the 396 being a NASCAR inspired motor trying to lower the bar on displacements, but could've sworn that fell through and they decided to concentrate on the small blocks then (hence the 302 Chevy) ... but now we're getting a bit off topic probably so I'll just let it slide ... On the Ford side of things I've thought about putting 396 badges on my truck ... its a .030 over 390 after all, so true displacement is much closer to 396 :) Just my $.02 wish 96 Mustang GT 5spd 4.6L 73ish 1/2ton 4x4 6.4L http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.public.iastate.edu/~wish Ford Truck Enthusiasts http://www.ford-trucks.com ------------------------------ From: "wish" <wish ford-trucks.net>

Awesome setup, and in that small car, I am positive that V-10 shines through. But in a 7000lb truck, its just not up to snuff. One positive thing about the V-10, being a small motor, with no pushrods, Id bet that thing could rev like no other, maybe a change in cams that allow it to come to life at say 5000? Oh no, now Im dreamin again. Stay focused Darrell, Tweety's 460 is almost done.......
