Clutch Release rear axle location Re: Engine color? Engine Color ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Jim Shedlauskas" Subject: Engine color? Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2000 08:49:56 -0400 I am currently rebuilding a 1948 V8 to replace the straight 6 in my '49 F-4. I've seen several different references to color and it's either red or blue. The oldest layer of paint on the V8 seems to be red. What color is your 1949 V8? Also, I'd like to remove the crankshaft pulley without destroying it. The sop manual shows a puller, but I can't find one like it. It seems that a 3-jay gear puller would distort the pulley. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jim ------------------------------ From: "Randy Selby" Subject: Clutch Release Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2000 13:07:44 -0500 I'm going to look into the disk being backwards. Which way should it face? I put this together from a bushel basket, and even though I don't believe that I could have made a mistake, maybe a gremlin switched it on me. Yeah, That's it, a gremlin.

One of my ongoing projects is a 53 F-100, getting pretty customized. Currently, the truck (my 47 year old mistress as my girlfriend calls it) is getting a new rear suspension. I have fabricated some ladder bars for it and made up the axle brackets for a disc brake 9". I am going to a coil spring setup for packaging, and need one important dimension. When people are installing a new rear suspension, such as one from TCI or Heidts, or the like, how is the location of tha axle determined. When I did my front Mustang II setup, TCI supplied reference dimensions off of the original front leaf spring mount. Since the leaf springs in my truck were hacked up and re-arched via torch (previous owner) I have little confidence that the axle was located properly, and I do not trust it. Also, the truck drove a little "crab-like" down the road. Anybody have any ideas?

Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2000 15:49:54 -0400 Jim, I have a 50 F-1 6cyl. The original and only color on the block is RED. Not sure if the different engine sizes would've been painted different.

(I think I see traces of Orange on mine.) What do some of you 1952 Ford owners have to say on this??? Thanks!!
