Mike,

I have a 55 F-250. I just purchased a 223 from a guy in Canada. The truck has a
215 in it. I will check on my 223 to see if these markings match. The 215 and
223 are very similar. The engine mounts are a tell tail sign between the 223 and
the 215. On the 215, the mounts are located the side of the engine block. The
223 has one mount attach to the timing cover case.

I will let you know if my markings match.

If Mystery oil doesn't work you mignt try mineral spirits. It's not as thick
& might penetrate better. Years ago I had a 56 Plymouth with the same
problem. Put about 2" in each cyl, let sit for a day. Then take a piece of
2x4 & a good size hammer. Hit each piston hard several times. Repeat this
for several days if necessary. Try turning eng with long breaker bar while
someone hits pistons. (make sure piston's going down, not coming up) It
worked for me.

Subject: FTE Pre61 - brake pedal, master cylinder, etc!!!

I am building a 51 f-1 with the origional flathead. I
am installing a t-5 transmission which requires
installing a new transmission mount a few inches on
down the frame. Does anyone sell a mount for the left
frame rail to hold my origional pedals and use a
modern master cylinder?

What if I cut the crossmember left of center,next to
the old transmission mount, and install a gusset for
support? What would be the recommended master
cylinder to mount to the existing plate? (I realize
I would have to change the mounting holes)

Any help appreciated,

Dennis Moody

Don't give up hope. I to had the same problem. My son showed no interest
in cars. But the good news is that has changed. It was either due to his
wife, who is a big Boss Mustang lover, or a little statement I made about
giving my truck to my daughter when(if?) I go to the F100 club in the sky.
You se my daughter was born with the Hot Rod gene(even if she does like
Ch*vy's) and has had a couple of good rides, the last a 69 SS396 camaro.
Sooo in a interesting discussion with both kids one day i mentioned that my
daughter should get my 55 when I die. That suddenlly changed the interest
my son had in my truck. Now he wants it. So don't give up hope. Be
patient, buy him test drive for the play station and emphasize driving the
muscle cars. Interview girlfriends to make sure they are car oriented.
He'll come around.

Or you could put him up for adoption.

I have had good luck finding this kind of stuff from Faxons...however,
they are expensive. Also, and this depends on where you live and how
fast you need it, there are a host of vendors are Carlisle at the spring
show and the truck nationals in June.

Good luck.

Try the Excite.com website and click on vehicles.
Then click on trucks. If you give me an idea of what
you are looking for I can help. Some reasonable
stuff out there but it is located in various parts of

From: Winford Rister
Subject: FTE Pre61 - re: Sons and trucks

Here's my unqualified philosophical comment about the subject of sons and
trucks:

Trucks represent work. Used to be that a man and a truck represented a work
team.

Ford history represents working class people (Henry and the Model T).

Therefore it naturally follows that Ford and Trucks go together.
I can still hear the sound of that 223 engine in the first vehicle I drove
(besides a farm tractor), a 53 F100!

I believe so strongly in the work ethic that I required that my son BUY his
own first vehicle. Further, I was determined that he would learn enough
mechanics to avoid being at the mercy of unethical garages like many people
are. It worked. During his 9 + years as a Navy pilot, his home was the
automotive repair center for all his friends. Now I get advice from him.

He has a Ford F150, has restored a 65 Mustang, and has helped extensively
with the rebuilding of my 54 F100.

Good Luck!

I myself wasnt interested in cars a few years ago. My father has always had
a street rod parked in the garage for as long as I can remember. I think
what got me interested was my dad taking me to all the cars shows after his
first restoration and showing me all the different thing you can do to a
car. Right now he has a 48 F-1 with a 289 as well as a business making 32
roadster bodies. Well to make a long story short, I now own a 1966 F-250 all
original with a running 352 that I am restoring. Oh by the way, if anyone
has any parts for a 66 F-250 let me know, im currently looking for a
tailgate and rear bumper.

Subject: FTE Pre61 - Brakes, Pedals,Master Cyls. etc

Zeener yahoo.com (Dennis Moody) Asked a question about adding a Modern
master cylinder to his F1. Dennis , I have Just finished such a task on my
51 F1, I installed a C4 tranny and added a Ford Mustang Power Booster to my
stock crossmember. I had to modify it somewhat though.
1. Cut about 14 " out of tthe center of the xmember.
2. Fabricated gussets to match Tranny mounts.
3. Added angle to the botttom.
This modification is stronger than the original. When you have a machine
shop you can do these things.

I have a picture of the whole thing
http://www.ford-trucks.com/afte/fugate51/tranny.jpg

It may be a little hard to see though (black frame) give it a look, If you
have any questions I'll be glad to help you as much as you can.

Still workin on the 51
