Subject: Re: Engine Swap Questions Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 00:23:29 -0800 While I agree in principle I don't think it will work out to be much of a problem in reality. What I did is mount the tranny on the cross member to anchor that end and just made the engine fit in the bay in such a way that it looks straight and the passenger side exhaust just fits past the frame with slight notching. If you use headers or the truck passenger side manifold notching is not required. Another clue is to look at the way the fan interfaces with the radiator but if you get the dumb thing centered in the bay so it looks right I don't believe you will have any trouble with it. The front darn well better be higher than the rear or you will have some big problems though :-) One fellow who mocked up a 460 in his Ranger (late model, small ranger) used a tube that just fit the output bushing in the tranny (an empty case used just for the mockup so he could run the tube all the way to the crank) and moved stuff around till it found the input of the rear diff :-) Lot of work if you ask me. That's what they made U-joints for :-) I do agree that straighter is better, strength wise and wear increases as the angles increase etc. but I don't see it as a real serious issue in this case because the location of the engine will be so close to original when it finds it's natural home you won't be able to measure the difference in most cases, I would say. That's certainly the way it turned out with my 78. You can't swing it much in any directon without hitting something so it pretty much goes where it goes and that's it :-) The biggest issue with home made mounts is doing a decent job of clearing all the junk in there and still have something that will support the engine and handle the torque it puts out. Mixing stock small block parts with 460 parts makes a weak mount but that's how I did my first ones. I made the second ones out of LTD mounts and welded the bottom part to the truck with a bunch of scrap metal for support. Ugly as sin but it works and it's all 460 mount stuff :-) With the L&L or other after market swap mounts you just bolt the darn thing in. Trust me, work a little overtime and buy the mounts, it aint worth it to make them. -- Happily Retired (but broke) Michigan Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary -- > Be careful in keeping these angles as close to stock as you can. > Ford decided > they are necessary, so I wouldn't mess with them too much. > > Rollie ------------------------------ From: "GaryBBB" <gpeters3 lni.net>

Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2001 22:56:04 -0700 Subject: Ford truck models You're right, Darrel, about that attention to detail. Modeling is also a good way to teach a kid to follow directions and work in a logical order. That other point you touched on, about using the model to see how different paint treatments look, is great, too. If you don't like how it looks, just soak the paint off with brake fluid and start fresh. My latest project is a 1/25 scale 40's-50's era Texaco gas station, ordered from Design Detail in Seattle. This is an awesome kit and will make a great diorama to take to car shows. ------------------------------ From: "Pat" <patsplace aisl.bc.ca>
Subject: Cab mounts Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2001 21:54:33 -0800 I think that the cab has to at least be lifted, if not fully removed. What I've found works REALLY well is to have a set of the tripod mounted, crank the cable camper jack with the angle iron lifting parts. Lifts the cab off, allows you to roll the chassis out and then you can set the cab down or at least block it for safety and change to your hearts content.

Subject: Re: Cab mounts Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2001 23:56:43 -0700 To seperate the upper/lower cab mount use a piece of rebar. After you've gotthe bolt out, hammer the rebar from the top and it should push the bottom half out. This is what I did on my '87 ranger and the radiator supports on my'67. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://explorer.msn.com[1] --- Links --- 1 http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ From: "Matt" <draygo pacifier.com>

I'm talking about the whole shootin match: the big sheet metal horns that are spot welded to the floor pan. The new ones from Dennis Carpenter were very nice, but very major work to put in. I had good luck (on my previous truck) removing the old ones with a spot weld cutter and bolting the new ones in place with lots of 10-24 bolts (cab on it's back in the driveway). The bolts made it possible to pull the mount up tight to the floor pan as well as to POR-15 the back of the mount including the area in between the joint. If you wanted it to look completely original, use a few bolts to pull it up tight, then duplicate the spot welds (with a MIG), then remove the few bolts and weld over the holes. BTW, the reason I am prohibited from such behavior is that SWMBO has spoken. No more frame-offs in the driveway.

Subject: FTE ADMIN: Change to classifieds As many of your are aware "dot com" companies have been hit hard in the last few months. FTE is now feeling the affects. Our ad revenues through our reseller have taken a serious hit and have plunged by 80%. FTE is taking steps to insulate itself from the advertising slowdown. Many of you have enjoyed the use of our bandwidth with free classifieds. As is the case with many web sites, the free lunch is over.

The intakes can not be interchaged between any of these. The 351M and 400 do interchange as do the 429 and 460. The heads on the first 4 do interchange but the 335 series is a dry manifold where the 302 and 351W are wet so some machining is necessary to swap between them. -- Happily Retired (but broke) Michigan Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary -- > BTW, if they aluminum 351W heads will work on a 351C does that > mean I could > use a 351W intake as well?

The best question is "How fast do you want to spend??" I should add that it's probably not impossable to stroke a 400, but a stock 460 would be cheaper to put together than a custom cranked 400, I'M NOT SAYING EVERYONE *SHOULD* REPLACE YOUR 400 WITH A 460, I hope this doesn't restart the war...

Subject: fan clutch 78 f-150 I have a 1978 F-150 2wd 351m w/C-6 and NO AC. It looks like it would be fairly easy to add a silicone temperature controlled fan clutch and perhaps new fan blades, eliminating what appears to be the spacer in the process. This should (in theory) give better cooling at low speed, better gas mileage (ha!) and less noise at highway speed. I think some of the A/C vehicles came w/fan clutch. Anyone already gone ....
