Welcome to F. T. E. nice truck keep us posted.

 

John, I will see if I can get them posted this afternoon. I have just been waiting for you to ask.

 

around 2k then? for those kind of numbers ? first bake the engine/bore is , pistons 500bucks 180bake/bore 150/500bucks for the pistons 830? clean the heads and then a new intake manifold? and maybe a new carburator after a while. but one question since the owner before me welded mounts to the body the 460 engine wont bolt in its 3/4inches away from bolting in? anyway for help?

 

Get a big hammer, and fix it. LOL, cut the screw up out and fix it the way you need it to be....Hey guys, I think we might get this one corrupted like the rest of us...lol

 

 

the oil pan its to big and wont fit in ya i know im from the dark side, not my fault the guy put a gm/nova front base and rear end- hence the reason i need a mustang rear end- something more capable of not shattering =] but i dont want to spend like 290 for a low profile oil pan when i can just take out the motor mounts and weld new ones in? is their a thing i can buy that has taller mounts?

 

Maybe these guys have what you need.

thx for the info =]

 

now come on ya guys , my 55 is walkin ' the darkside wheres my cookies ? hee hee . seriously welcome and relax and it dooes get a lil ' " different " from time to time .

 

lol we plan on cutting of those old brackets and modifying them a lil higher so it will fit up so its aight =] getting the engine stand today to start tearing into my engine.

 

Might want to look at different oil pans. If you just raise the motor so that it doesn't rest on the cross member it might have your motor running uphill or high in the front. This might not be the case as I am not familiar with the subframe you are running, it could be that you just need to raise the motor mounts to get it to sit in there level and it won't be resting on the oil pan. If you could show pics as you go I for one would really like to see and would appreciate it. I think this is why alot of guys run SBCs when they use a chevy subframe, its just easier.

 

imlowr2 is dead on with advice.

If you aren't a seasoned motorhead, I suggest an Edlebrock Cam/Heads/Intake package with rollers, MSD and 780ish Carb. I would NOT go lower than 3:50 on the Rear End for street driving unless you have overdrive. 460s are happy at mid-rpm.

 

thanks for the info yeah i will def keep u updated on my project- this is a great site for people that know a hell of alot more then me- heck im 19 and just wanted an old truck with a big block.... we put old chevy malibu big block springs and stuff it fit and mounted up and the springs worked wonderfully, just putting those suckers in was scary and hard even with a compresser. me personally is true 100% ford freak.... i got my friends into it too. um if u guys got ideas.... tips their def appreciated.were getting the engine stand tommarow and taking peice by peice off to get the block boiled and cleaned and checked for cracked anything.... so yah keep ya updated.

 

also were gonna sandblast the entire engine bay and check for cracked, sorry welding jobs and fit it up and paint it up and stuff. this maybe a hot rodder after but im def bringing it to shows.

 

I need the second front crossmember that holds the front engine mount for a 292V8,if yours was a v8 and you are not using the crossmember on the new engine,and want to part with it I am interested. F250 RED
