That looks close to the one I put in my 390, and it is a great cam ... I
don't know how it will work in the smaller motor, but I wouldn't be
surprised to find it worked well ... your truck is a bit lighter than mine,
not to mention a lot nicer heads, so smoking the tires shouldn't really be a
problem (manual or auto?) I've got some 30x9.5 BFG's that I can spin (can't
smoke) off the line with my auto, but that's a 4x4 and a lot of other neat
stuff that makes it weigh more (like an FE instead of a W)

dunno, you'll have to check them.

=====================================================
Jim- the main caps are a lot bigger on the 351, so the ends of the pan
that go over the cap are too big. You'll need a 351W pan unless you want
to do a little fab work. Phil

Subject: FTE Perf - Obsolescence of petrolium fueled internal combustion engines

Ever since Nicola Tesla demonstrated his remote controlled submarine
vechile in Madison Square Garden and secretly perfected his Magnifing
Transmitter the petrolium fueled internal combustion engine has been
obsolete.

Actually for over nintey years the WHEEL has really over stayed it's
welcome. Sutable for non-powered friction reduction only.

The electrohydrodynamic flying machine silenty negates gravity, and
to top it all off the coils are of such immense power that they can refract
sonar, radar, and light so the unit is cloaked !

For years after Tesla's secrets and lab work were dechyphered Flying
Saucers were seen. But it's our ship they see not that of an alien race.

I fully enjoy my FORD truck even if it's obsolete right down to wheels
rolling on asphault. If it were coils levitating effortlessly fifteen feet
above a grassy course I would still think my FORD electrodynamic wonderful.
It would just be harder to work on.

Subject: FTE Perf - BII Tranny

Hey all. The tranny in my '88 BII died this week. I'm eventually going to
put a 302 in it, but I can't find a conversion kit that keeps the AO4LD
tranny (that's what's in there now). I was looking on the Advance Adapters
webpage and they recommend the C4 or C5 transmission when putting a 5.0 in a
BII. I was wondering if the C4 or C5 transmissions work with the 2.9, as
I'm not quite ready to do the swap.
Any input is appreciated!
Thanks!

Subject: FTE Perf - 351 Crank

I need to know this quickly so I will not send the block off to the
machine shop if this won't work.

I have a 79 351w block and I want to install my 93 351w crank.
Everything looks pretty much the same except the rear is slightly
different. The rear main seal is also totally different. I need to
know if this crank will work fine in the older block using the older
style rear main.
