C5AZ-12370-A .. Vacuum Diaphram (Motorcraft DD-190) is still available from Ford.

FTE sponsor Direct Ford Parts: List: $40.82 / FTE member net price: $21.64.

If ordering one from DFP, drop the hyphens from the part number: C5AZ12370A

 

Well just the crank and rods to tidy up today. Then it's all ready to take to the machine shop for a final say so on the caliper #'s comparison, and mag ?n

 

C4AE's are back and crack free.. machinist said they looked really good.. estmtd bill of $380 to get them done up (hrd seats/instlld, guides, vavles/job) Sound about right ? Looks like another greasy stinky weekend of fun LOL we'll be porting the heads up sat/sun to pass the time

 

$380 good? I paid just under $800 for my LR heads to have that work done to them and this was back in 1986 still running them today with a light valve and seat dressing.

 

Don has been really good to me and I attribute it to my showing up with my **** together so he doesnt have to second guess anything. He confirms most the the data given is in fact correct and enjoys shooting the breeze about the build concept. Runs a small place with 1 apprentice so surely that has it's benefits..If the opportunity arrises to become a floor sweep for the guy.. it's on LOL... Keys to Disneyland LOL

 

That's good news Bob. Glad to hear it's shaping up.

 

Tep Bob, Sounds like its coming right along Bud ! and there's nothing better than have access to a machine shop (Play Ground) LOL... Glad to hear the C4's are in great shape!

well it just figures..no matter how many posts I read on the porting thing, I just couldnt leave well enough alone!!!

Started trying to smooth out the hump over the jacket and got carried away.. **** !! i sure hope Les at Nimo Machine can weld this son of a bitch up!!! DAMNIT!!

Well live and larn ehh??

a few more picts ... http://s216.photobucket.com/albums/c.../C4AE%20heads/

 

That is the reason why I just smoothed the hump down and called it good as a thin spot will cause boiling problems besides I value my C4G heads.
One racer years ago showed me a head he cut up in sections and it showed that hump as not that thick if you about removed it completly.
Sorry to hear about you porting adventures.

 

Ouch! That sucks Bobby! Need me to keep checking the pullyoshait here?

I have watched C4-Gs and C6-Rs go to the crusher. Even at $60 a set, people are not lining up to adopt them. For all I know, shipping from 80403 would cost more than that.

For a real challenge, I'm still looking for your interior door trim.

 

If I dont find one this week in a pile here..shipping just might be cheaper than hunting so we'll be in touch thanks..

 

contaced a guy on craigs and got a set of C4AE's with some ear issues that I'm sure can be resolved for little $$$

Also found these while digging in the "PILE!!!!!" of FE heads..
