Talking progress and question

Howdy all;

It has been a great weekend (long), the 390 is sitting on its newley fabed mounts in the f-3, everything else, (rad,kickdown,throttle, look like they will work, such a great day.
I have a Q.. The doner truck had a hanger bearing. Do I need to use a hanger , or should I just have a driveshaft made to fit as a one piece shaft?????
Anyone know the recipy for 8 bolt front disks.


Have a great day..

Paul

I plan to use the 390 out of FREEEEBBBEEEE motorhome in my f3, if you are using the stock front end what problems did you have with the oil sump or any other potential problem I will face. It is a while till I get to this project working on the 50 F1 nearing the chance to try it after 3 year on and off project. Ed ke6bnl@juno.com

Ed.

There does not seem to be any problems that I can see.
The sump clears the I beam with a inch to spare. The rear mount as a from scratch fab. The front ones are half original towers, top half, with 1/4 plate on the bottom which returns to the bottom frame rail. Looks to be plenty strong. Even the exhaust will clear with the original manifolds. Seems to eazy, but its in.
Good luck on yours.

Paul.

Paul, My '50 F2 had the same hanger on it
the F2's had a 2 piece driveshaft, I'd assume (god I hate using that word) that the F3's had the same thing.

My truck currently has a 1 piece driveshaft from a Lincoln in it that a shop cut down to size without having to use the hanger.

Thanks Jeff;

I was hoping that i did not need the hanger, now just to find a driveshaft that will work with the c-6 tranny.
