I'll have to look at the pulleys and see how they are configured. I never tried to pry them apart b/c I figured they were worth more together. But thanks for the heads-up.

Green was $10 + shipping, but I bought 2 C1UZ1190A for the front. So the bill was $26 for the parts and 9 shipping.

I have replaced a boat load of stuff already (king pins, joints, brakes etc.) and it drives nicely (as well as a basically 62 Econoline can). I wasn't happy to find a dead cylinder, but of all possible issues, I guess the bad valve was best. Seats were going to have to be replaced anyway.

Just got a call....heads are done.....!!!!!

Thanks again!

 

If you need another boatload, or whatever quantity of parts, lemme know...I'll look up the p/n, search to see how many are available.

 

Thanks for the offer! Any more boatloads will be a while. Heads were killer.
Shoulda bought a 302 HO

 

Well I decided to change out the t/c to the newer one. Figured it would be easier to use updated alternator and get the filler tube out of the way.
Couple of the bolts were corroded badly...but finally got it off.

OK, crank pulley question....3 sheaves...clearly the C5OE-A (from high optioned '65 289 Falcon wagon) is assembled. 2 (double) inner and a 3rd inserted into those and and inner "hub" inserted in all that and appears spot welded together.

...compared to the 3 sheaves on the C2OE-6312-C , from this Econoline transplant, which appears to be a one piece cast unit. The back even looks like it is balanced. I can't see how this is designed to come apart??

I'm wondering if I would be better off replacing / updating the old crank pulley with newer as the old may be worth some $$ to help me recoop some funds from the heads. The serpentine stuff I have from the 5.0 HO won't fit inside the doghouse. I don't plan on running a lot of power stuff yet, but that is subject to change. It may get A/C and power brakes later.

Moving on, I am repacing the timing chain and gears as I think 5/8" is too much deflection. I will use the 5.0 HO timing cover and the old balancer since it bolts up. I am going to need to figure out how to add a timing pointer to the new cover. Old pointer is a boss on the left side of the case. I have not looked at the 5.0 timing pointer to see if it will relocate.

Engine (crank) is already .010 under and has a few miles on that. Rod clearance at .0035, so it's loose. I should pull it and freshen it up, but my short term goal now is just to get it back together to make a decent driver for intown. I'll probably change engine/trans/diff later.

Thanks for your input and research!
