Subject: Re--FE HEADS

I don't blame you for the decision about the heads, that's why I took
them in for work, My last engine was a 390 and it had a 428CJ cam in it.
It worked ok, but when I went through it and freshend it up a lil, I
went with the Lunati cam.



I'm leaning towards one of two Lunati grinds:
I went with the Lunati and was very happy, it had the "lopey" idle that
was a little rough and it operated my power brakes just fine. I believe
the lift was .554 with a duration of 232. The part number was 0054. If I
were to build me another 390, I would put another one in it. They also
have another one #0053 which is almost the same except it has a smoother
idle. If you are interested in those cams, I think they were called the
"Bracket Master".



I have owned my truck for over 20 years and I'll tell you it never
stops........

LOL, this is true, now I'm workin on getting the interior started,
having trouble finding some door panels and a headliner. Can anyone
point me in the right direction?

Subject: 351M to 429

Hi folks,
I have a 1978 Bronco with a "sick" 351M motor and an automatic C-6
transmission. I am planning on swapping out the 351M for either a 429 or a
460 (essentially the same motor only different crankshafts) in the next
couple of weeks. Does anyone know if I have to change torque converters and
bell housings also? Is there anything else I need to change out for this
motor swap? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You don't need to change torque converters, you can't change bell-housings
but you don't need to. You'll need to buy motor mounts and some type of
exhaust manifolds or headers that will work with the swap since there
weren't any 385 series motors in 78 4X4s. Expect to spend $300-$500 for the
swap parts alone.

That's a nice set up. It doesn't address the exhaust issues however and it's
over $300 with shipping. My personal opinion is that unless you have a
rebuilt 429/460 that you've already bought or rebuilt then I'd spend the
$300 turning my 351M into a 400 and not worrying about converting.

Although I don't like dealing with them, L&L products has the mounts also.
Including next day air shipping as $80 when I got them a few year ago.

================================================
Bill,
Whichever floats your boat.  I just got a 460 in my 79 Bronco, and I'm
having a heck of a time beefing up the drive train.  I've gone through two
universals in two weeks.  I have a 14 bolt GM rear (One Ton) and I'm going
to convert the drive shaft so the whole set up will be one ton.  Once this
is done, I'm looking to tear some MUD up.  You'd be amazed at the difference
between the 351/400 (my other Bronco has a 400) and the 460.

Well I didn't say to put a STOCK 400 back in it. I personally have built a
400 which I think will make some of the big block boys sit up & take
notice...

Nope...not even close. All I'm saying is that if I'm going to take the time
and $$$ to rebuild an engine I can make a 400 go almost as good as a 429 and
spend the $300+ dollars to make it better. Like I said, if Jeff already has
a rebuilt 429/460 ready to go then fine, spend the $300+ and stuff it in the
bronco. But if he has to buy a new motor and then rebuild it then he can put
the $300 towards making the 351M into a 400 and making it bark. So what
exhaust did you use for your conversion anyway?

I see.  I'm wasn't trying to sound offensive if I came across that way.
I used the "truck" headers from a factory 460.

IM a 385 series person but i would spend the 300 bucks and buy a set of
cleveland heads for the 400... the torque a 400 makes is incredible
