Subject: Re: [Fordnatics] 352 vs 351W compatibility Yes, you can mate a top loader to a 351W with a bell housing from a 302, but I believe that a 352 tranny input shaft is not compatible with a small block. At the very least the pilot bushing will not accept the tranny snout. You need a top loader from a small block engine. I don't think that you can swap the input shaft either. I believe that a 390 would be an easier swap. Dan Lee '53 F100 400C-4V >Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2000 16:41:44 -0500 >From: "William D. Poudrier" <vze259s7 verizon.net>

Subject: Re: Engine missing - 1978 400 Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2000 00:16:04 -0500 Dear List, First I would like to thank those persons who replied and offered suggestions relating to my original posting of 11/14/00. Those who mentioned the intake manifold were right. The top of the intake manifold behind the carburetor was eaten away to the point that it must be replaced. It had been leaking vacuum between the manifold and the EGR that sits between it and the carburetor. The mechanic still says that the carburetor is leaking vacuum and causing a miss at low idle even when the manifold leak has been temporarily sealed up with silicone gasket material. He says that when the intake manifold and carburetor are replaced, I have a choice between going back with an original 2BBL carburetor or changing to a 4BBL. I'm not looking for a performance boost. I just want to get many more years of trouble free use out of the truck. The truck has 94,000 miles and, except for this little problem, I think it is in excellent condition. It appears that the 4BBL would improve gas mileage and be the better choice. Any advice at this before I spend the $?

The cube wars were on. In the back of my mind, I still have this little gray cell that nags me insisting that there was a short run of 490s in the Lincoln line during the early 70s, possibly only in the Mark 4. The largest production V8 was the 500 cube Cadillac engine produced from 1971 to 1976. It was originally exclusive to the Eldorado. This is why I think the elusive 490 may have been exclusive to the Mark 4, if it exists at all. Enough rambling... -- John jlagrone ford-trucks.com <]:-) <]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-)

If you can find one that would work get one with small primaries and large secondary venturies. It's called a spread bore carb. GM had one in their quadrajet. There are other manufacturers that use this design also. The advantage is that for tooling around town at low rpms you run on the smaller primaries. The smaller venturi sees a stronger signal and is able to meter the fuel better. Then if the motor needs more flow at higher rpm the large secondaries kick in and provide the flow. List wisdom states that a Holley is tougher to tune and requires more fiddling out of the box. It is also a square bore carb where all venturis are the same size. Most comments I've heard about Edelbrock carbs are they work pretty well out of the box. If they do require adjustment it seems to be easier.

The good news is that the 352 is an FE. You could bolt in a 360, 390, 406, 410, 427(rare), or 428. And then tell everyone that it is a stock 352 while you blow their doors off. ;-) I haven't heard much about 352 economy but it seems that the 360 and 390 get about the same in our trucks. About 8-12 mpg depending on the rear gear and weight of the truck. If that seems to be what you are getting then I would go with a 390 and enjoy the extra power. The FE block extends below the main bearings which provides more strength to the block (think that's why the General adopted that design for their new 350 a couple of years ago?) and is a Y block design because of this but is not considered part of the Ford Y-block family.

Subject: Thanks and more D60 questions First I just wanted to thank you all for your kind words after my father-in-law's passing last weekend. It helps to know that there are other caring people even if you don't get to meet them face to face. Your prayers and encouragement were really uplifting in our time of need. Now on to my questions... If you'll recall about 1.5 weeks ago I was asking questions about the maintenance of the Dana 60 rear on my '79 F-350. I finally found the 2 9/16" socket needed to remove the wheel bearing retaining nuts that hold the rear brake drums in place. ($17 at NAPA. OTC Part #1928) Here is what I found. I'll apologize in advance for the simple questions. 1. The pads are 12" x 2.5" NOT 12" x 3" like Bendix lists. I think I'll use Wagner brake parts that list the 12" x 2.5". 2. The pads need replaced badly. The rearmost pad was almost down to the rivets. Should I replace the springs/hardware when I replace the pads or is it ok to reuse them and just replace the pads. 3. The passenger side drum didn't have any scoring and looked like it had enough surface area to be cut. How can I tell for sure? Do I need to measure the internal diameter or the thickness of the outer surface? 4. The bearings had no grease in them whatsoever. Based upon this is it safe to assume that I need to replace them? Or can I get away with re-packing them and reusing them? How can I tell? Is there a writeup somewhere on doing this on the D60? 5. How do I remove the inner bearings? Do I need some sort of punch that's the right size for the bearings? 6. Is there a seal that needs to be replaced when you remove the inner bearings? It kind of looks like there is a seal behind the inner bearings. 7. What brand of bearings do you recommend? I was looking at carparts.com and they've got BCA and Timken. It looks like the Timken's would be roughly $50 more for a complete set of rear bearings (inner, outer, & race). At the moment I know the current outer bearings are Timkens. 8. The "spindle" (I don't know if that's the right term…) that the inner bearing rides on had some scoring/pitting on it after I wiped it off. Should I be concerned about this and is there anything I can do about it short of replacing the axle? 9. When I retorque the wheel bearing retaining nuts is it ok to use an adapter on the torque wrench or will that skew the readings? The reason I ask is that the 2 9/16" socket is 3/4" drive and I've only got a 3/8" torque wrench. I'd need two adapters to get it to work. I've already got the 1/2" to 3/4" adapter so I could remove the nuts. 10. If/when I do this would there be any interest in a writeup with pictures or is this too basic a process to document for the website? Later, Eric Finn (Learning as he goes..)

My fried and I both have 390's with this stamp on it. Don't think you would gain anything by swapping to the 351, if you do a swap, swap in a 390 or a 428, they will bolt up to you T-18 and they have plenty of everything :) Seems like the 352 is a good motor anyway but...

If you put it in 4wd there is no way to make both axles turn together like they do when the tires are controling them. In this mode you could actually spin one axle twice as fast as normal without moving the other one at all, through the spider gears. They would be spinning very fast because they are smaller than the side gears typically. This same thing happens when you run two different sizes of tires on the same axle.

Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2000 08:03:30 -0700 Oh, I didn't mean that...I would just get the brake booster for now and when I put on the disk brakes, this coming spring, I would buy a new master cylinder for the same vehicle that donated the booster....would this work?

Subject: [61-79-list] Re: Sorry to bug ya.... Am I understanding correctly that you are planning on keeping the 4 wheel drum brakes (at least for now)? Then the booster won't work as it won't accept a manual brake cylinder... -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Beiers [mailto:dbeiers rmpprestress.com]

Subject: [61-79-list] Sorry to bug ya.... I am sorry to ask this again, I just asked a couple of days ago but its kinda a time sensitive item.. I have the chance to get a very slightly used power brake booster and additional brake parts, if needed, from a 75 f-250. Will I be able to use this part or need any others if I should want power assisted brakes on my 67 f-100. I know someone told me there was an article on the tech page but I can only find a disk brake swap write up. Thanks a lot you guys, I am going there this morning so your reply is greatly appreciated.

They are similar in design as he says about the crank being up in the block, but that is not the criteria for Y blocks. The Y blocks consist of: 239. 255, 272, 292, 312 cu in, and maybe more but they are not parts interchangeable with any FE's.

Subject: Re: Another 460 Debate :-) Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2000 08:48:14 -0800 What do you mean by "Power"? I took a stock 429 from a mercury wagon with 200k miles on it and it was nastier than anything I'd ever had before. My rebuilt, stock 460 was even more awesome but power is relative to the pocket book no matter what engine you are messing with so if you want "More" power you have to spend a few bucks. Knock out the exhaust bumps, stick in a new bump stick, flop on a offy dual, 360 degree, manifold for the Rochester and a Rochester and......... My next one will have a roller bump stick and roller floppers and and .... To access the rest of this feature you must be a logged in Registered User Of Ford Truck Enthusiasts
