I assume a 400 T/O bushing will work, but I am lost as to the pilot bushing, and whether or not I'll even be able to bolt it all together. Im lookin in your direction Azie, but anyone else with the right info, I need ya. If I cant make this work, Im afraid to say Tweety is going to have to be sold for parts, so I can get something that goes. I cant have this truck down, as it is how I get to work and back. I dont wanna think about that, as Ive put a lot of hard work into it, and I do NOT want something so stupid as a pilot bushing problem to get in the way.<< It has been around 2-3 years since my Son and I did ours, but here is what we did. My Son was attamont about using the bearing rather than the bushing, and we did not find one that would fit both the NP435 and the Crankshaft. The one we finally wound up using was a 400 bearing. It was like .002" too large for the crank, so we took it to our favorite machine shop and he chucked it into the lathe and using a fixed mounted hi speed grinder, he shaved the .002" off the outer diameter. We inserted it and it is still doing fine. I personally think the 360/390 bushing would be a better choice, but to each his own. Hope this helps.

Yo Azie: Just a minor note for you. The 400 was introduced in 1971 w/ the big-block (429/460) bell housing bolt pattern. In 1973 Ford produced a one-year-only 400 block design w/ the small-block bell housing bolt pattern. Those blocks have a casting number beginning w/ D3AE and they were attached to the FMX automatic transmission. Not all 1973 M-blocks had the small-block pattern, however, only M-blocks w/ the D3AE casting number. (Ford continued to use D1AE blocks in other 1973 cars w/ the C6 tranny.) All other M-blocks (351M/400) use the big-block (429/460) bolt pattern, which Ford never changed until 1997, when 460 production finally ended.

Not by much though. I was way quicker off the line and quite abit ahead, then at around 40 miles an hour, "she" caught up and and overtook me. I figured the truck would have won, but it was still a nice try:) ------------------------------ Date: 28 Apr 00 21:31:41 EDT From: Tim Turner Subject: Spirits at home. On the making your own fuel additive ('shine) topic here's some quotes. from the CFR 27 regulations via ATF. Subpart F--Location and Use Sec. 19.131 Restrictions as to locations. Distilled spirits plants shall not be located in any dwelling house, or in any shed, yard, or enclosure connected with any dwelling house, or on board any vessel or boat, or on premises where beer or wine is produced, or liquors of any description are retailed, or (except as provided in Sec. 19.133) on premises where any other business is conducted. (Sec. 201, Pub. L. 85-859, 72 Stat. 1353, as amended (26 U.S.C. 5178)) Bummer. Beer For Personal or Family Use Sec. 25.205 Production. (a) Any adult may produce beer, without payment of tax, for personal or family use and not for sale. An adult is any individual who is 18 years of age or older. If the locality in which the household is located requires a greater minimum age for the sale of beer to individuals, the adult shall be that age before commencing the production of beer. This exemption does not authorize the production of beer for use contrary to State or local law. (b) The production of beer per household, without payment of tax, for personal or family use may not exceed: (1) 200 gallons per calendar year if there are two or more adults residing in the household, or (2) 100 gallons per calendar year if there is only one adult residing in the household. (c) Partnerships except as provided in Sec. 25.207, corporations or associations may not produce beer, without payment of tax, for personal or family use. (Sec. 201, Pub. L. 85-859, 72 Stat. 1334, as amended (26 U.S.C. 5053)) Now that's more like it! :-) Sec 24 part 75 covers wine production, but it's the same as for beer unless it's over 24% alc/vol. (not allowed.. classed as spirits at that point). I've read enough legaleese over the last two nights to not persue this link; http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.atf.treas.gov/regulations/27cfr21.html but it lists the 'approved' denaturing formulas so there might be one that has additives to your liking. If anyone really wanted to get highly involved in distillation for fuel purposes here's a quote from Carol Coy (cjcoy cinc.atf.treas.gov) in her replyto my e-mail: "Regarding the production of alcohol for fuel use, look at 27 CFR, Part 19. The regulations governing the production of alcohol strictly for fuel use begin at Subpart Y (19.901). Someone applying for this type of permit will be classed as either "Small", Medium" or "Large", depending on one's production and receipts for a calendar year. The limits are as follows: Small- 10,000 proof gallons of alcohol or less. Medium- More than 10,000 proof gallons but not more than 500,000 proof gallons. Large- More than 500,000 proof gallons" It's going to be next week before my eyes uncross after all this!

Well, I (being a member of the TAMU Sports Car Club, despite having a 93 explorer sport) after having attended many autocrosses (by far one of the stupidest (and funnest) things you can do with an explorer, decided to venture out to the 1/8 mile dragstrip with the club last wed. So ummm heres my times and such, let me know what you think. 2nd run: 1.078 reaction (blech) 10.966 63.2553rd run: 1.231 reaction (double blech) 10.987 62.744for the rest of the night I did something stupid, I was like hey I'll shift at 4500 since peak power is about 4250 (on stock, which mine isn't) so I never broke into the 10's again :-( but I did cut a .522 and .527 (.5 being perfect b/c this is a sportsman not pro tree) and most of my reactions were under .6 for the rest of the night. Lessons learned, I have a 4.0 and two ranger guys have one, me and one ranger guy have exhaust upgrades, and we both have K&N conical filters in place of the airbox (his is 92 mine is 93). The other guys is a 98 ranger, bone stock, and he just couldn't keep up with us, we just pulled on him the whole way down, so 1. upgrades do help 2. It's nearly impossible to have a clean QUICK shift from 5k on a truck. 3. CH#VY trucks with 350's ain't squat, I whooped the crap out of a 350 extended cab truck 3 times in a row, and one of them wasn't even close. Anyway, I'll be going back this wed and seeing if I can capture the TTOTT (top time of the trucks). -Jordan Dean '93 abused but happy explorer. ------------------------------ End of perf-list Digest V2000 #56 ********************************* ---------------------------------------------------------- Ford Truck Enthusiasts Performance, Hot-Rod and Custom Truck List Send posts to perf-list ford-trucks.comIf you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, send an email to: listar ford-trucks.comwith the words "unsubscribe perf-list" in the subject of the message.
