Tranny questions..again Re: 302 to 351 parts swap ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: slikness mindspring.com Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2000 07:53:29 -0400 Subject: Re: 351w to 460 convert It sounds like a great swap potential as long as you don't have to worry about the smog stuff. You will need a different tranny bell housing and flywheel, different motor mounts (get 'em from Ford or the junkyard) for your year. You will probably want to get a larger radiator and it's hard to beat a Modine in the radiator department. As far as the front mounted accessories, just look where they are mounted today and make sure you have the same bolt pattern for your brackets. If not, you can usually find the brackets off a junkyard engine (between $150-$250 depending on what all you need). There is a performance auto shop in Michigan, I think, that specializes in Ford swaps. I'll have to look up their number and get back to you later on that one. I doubt your headers will work, but you can't tell until after you drop the engine in and then try to work the headers around the frame. You'll find out quickly whether they will fit. You will want to push your headers up from! ! the bottom of the truck after you drop the engine in. Good luck, Slik > Hi all- i have been lurking for about a year now- and i belive my topic hasbeen brought up a time or two- unfortunately my computer crashed and all of my archives were lost :-( Anyhoo- i have an 84 F350 4x4 with a 4speed and a 351W in it currently- the 351 is still living (but in a terminal state) and i recently acquired a 70- something 460 that runs great- wondering what all parts i need and how difficult the swap will be- what companies sell conversion componets and such? I am not overly concerned in keeping the smog system- and will the headers that are on it now (out of a 63 F100) fit in this truck? My main concern is to keep the p/s pump working right and to get this thing in there cheap and soon.< ------------------------------ From: "David Anderson (EUS)" Subject: Re: E4OD Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2000 07:19:54 -0500 Hal, One question here is can you with the way it's working? It would drive me nuts. Heavy duty stuff or not, these things are designed to sense load and shift smoothly under all conditions, especially when freshly rebuilt. I would take it back immediately. Dave ....Just had the E4OD tranny rebuilt in my 91 F350, 196K and seals bad. Now it really slams from 1st to 2nd and a little less from 2nd to 3rd. Also it still acts goofy..... ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2000 06:22:50 -0700 (PDT) From: Roger Lane Subject: Oil Pressure Questions A quick question to all the experts on these lists. I have an '89 F250 4X4 with a 302 and a M5OD tranny. My question is, will a bad lifter (or two) cause oil pressure drops after the engine is warmed up? What I mean by drops is, while setting at a stop when the engine is fully warmed up, the pressure will momentarilly dip TIA Roger Lesson for the day: Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown. BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and smack the a**hole upside the head. _______________________________________________________ Get 100% FREE Internet Access powered by Excite Visit http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://freelane.excite.com/freeisp ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2000 09:48:35 -0400 Subject: Re: Oil Pressure Questions From: chris hinckley reduced oil pressure while sitting is a bit normal. oil pressure drop is usually attributed to bearing failure not the lifters. i'm not saying it's your bearings, but it's more reasonable than the lifters. it could also be a bad oil sending sensor. any other systoms? chris h On Mon, 19 Jun 2000 06:22:50 -0700 (PDT) Roger Lane writes: > A quick question to all the experts on these lists.

I had a bear of a time getting the front shocks compressed enough so that I could place the bottom bolt through the lower shock mount. My question is, how compressed should the front shock be upon installation? I know that the purpose of shocks is to keep the wheel firmly planted on the ground, but should there be some give in the static position? As always...I appreciate it!

I was just hoping that maybe my oil pressure fulctuations were caused by this, instead of bearings. I was planning on doing a rebuild in the next couple of months, looks like I push up the date. On that note, does anyone in the Sioux City area have a 302 (in rebuildable condition) they would like to donate to the cause?

Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2000 11:53:35 -0700 Hey guys, I have a few fast questions. 1) Are vehicles with CNG (compressed natural gas) and LPG (liquid propane gas) running the same fuel? 2) For you guys with either of these. How many miles do you run between fill ups and .....how much does a fill up cost? 3) For anyone running one of these fuels. Do you have to pass emissions or are you relieved of this responsibility. That is, is alternative fuel the way to do whatever you want to the engine (for performace) without having to worry about emissions? 4) Does anyone have difficulties with extreme cold weather and these fuels? Just some random thoughts I've had.

I have the 3.03 tranny right now which I really want to get rid of and a 5 speed has come along at a REALLY good price.
