Subject: FE questions

I need to pull my 428 out of my 76 F-250 4x4 and replace the bearings.
Currently I have a Melling RV cam,Mallory dist and coil w/MSD
wires,Heddman headers,dual 21/2 exhaust w/H-pipe,Edelbrock Performer
intake w/750 edelbrock carb and 10.5-1 compression.
While I have it apart I would like to do a few other things like
improve the oiling,add more cam and possibly reduce the compression.
My questions are:
What passages do I open up to improve the oiling?
I currently have a high volume oil pump and have heard that FEs do not
like high volume or high pressure pumps.Am I better of with a standard
pump?
 Years ago i had a 428CJ cam in a 390 in this truck it it screamed.
Being as Ford no longer carries the CJ cam I'm thinking Lunati 428CJ
clone cam.Is this a good choice?Does Lunati make a good cam? Has quality
suffered with Holley taking over Lunati?
How about the quality of other aftermarket cams?
How much cam do I need to "bleed off"some compression?
If I get the right cam do I have to lower my compression?
Lower compression pistons are hard to find for a 428 and I don't like
the idea of having them dished.Any other ideas?
Should I just spring for some pistons and be done with it?
I can only run about 25 degrees total advance now or it will ping.
I'm thinking if I lower the compression I can run more timing and
possibly make more power or at least break even.Am I all wet?
If I do lower the compression I'm still putting more cam in it,I miss
a "real"performance cam.........

Sweet ... confirms the manual tranny thing too :)  I may have to save that list
for when a couple of my friends decide to rebuild their motors :)


I drove a stock 2.9L 5spd. that had a lifter tick in it and it was a blast ...
so I know they're a lot of fun and with a little skill can be driven quickly,
but since my heart still lies in nice fast corners its hard to convince myself
to play with something that has a center of gravity that high with a narrow
track width :)

Just my $.02

Subject: '86 Throttle Body

I know the TBs off of the '86 BIIs were a little bigger than the '88 that I
have, but I'm having a horrible time trying to find one.  The one local
junkyard that I tried was no help, and neither was carparts.com or
wrenchhead.com.  If anyone knows where I can find one, that would be great.
Thanks in advance!
