FE Engine FAQ

I am starting an FE engine FAQ to leave as a sticky for the new guys that are looking for answers to commonly asked questions. I actually started this a year ago but Korea has kept me busy. If you would like to submit a FAQ to post on my website drop me an email. Please send me an email prior to submitting a FAQ as somebody else may have completed the same type FAQ and it just hasn't been posted yet. When I get to Missouri I plan on finding a cheap FE block and showing the oiling system mods and such. If you submit an idea I will give you full credit for it. Anything FE related goes. These FAQs will range from very basic to very complicated.


This is where the FAQs will be posted upon completion.

Thanks for keeping the forum a good place to be!!

How's this coming along? I see a link on the site for 'Oiling System Mods' and I'm very intrigued, but haven't found any technical info.

Do you need help with anything? I can't really provide any technical (ford truck) advice, but I'm a decent computer hack.

Well, continued searching produced what I think you were talking about regarding oil mods.

I would like to know if you need help with that faq website.

I'm no longer in Korea. Thank god! I am working on getting an old block that I can show pictures of while I am doing oiling mods and such. I am probably going to do some plain text in the meantime but I have been pretty busy lately. I am not a website making guru so if I have any questions I will be sure to send them your way. Thanks

Please keep it mainly text and info and use pictures only when needed. Please do not put some garish background on it that makes it almost impossible to read. Please make sure that all the information is valid before posting it. Then you will have a better web page than 75% of the ones out there.

That is my truck. I will be posting some better pics when I get a digital camera. That was done with a laptop and a webcam.

I am close to Warrensburg MO, and an unserviceable block would work fine! I'm not too far from Kansas City either. Drop me an email if you want and we can talk.

Just had to ask because I am originally from Oklahoma. Still have lots of family there. My brother has the Ford truck passion also. Has a pile of FE blocks, intakes and crankshafts in his garage. One too many trucks were taking up room around his house last year and has started cleaning out some stuff. So If you don't find a block anywhere right away and your not too far away from Claremore Oklahoma, he might part with one of the blocks.
