    Freeze Plug Popped Into Block

    Also make sure it's the correct Mopar size, 1 41/64". Not 1 5/8" which is Chebby, is included with many freeze plug packs and is just a touch smaller.

    Best Engine Fan Options?

    On the wagon I recently purchased, the PO put in an aluminum radiator which is thicker than the prior one. This made it necessary to put in the 2947? Hayden shorty clutch to pull fan/clutch away from the radiator. Have good gap there. However...the fan is way too far out of the shroud. He...

    Overdrive in my 64 Fury

    The early b-bodies are tighter in the trans tunnel than the 66- ones. The 500/518 units are very portly at the trans/od-extension housing area. Way more mass than a 727 in that area requiring some surgery on the tunnel and possibly the upper torsion bar/trans crossmember. The Silver State...

    Rear end identification

    Toss it in the air and spin a wheel or axle. If they rotate in the same direction, LSD. If opposite, open/non/pegleg.

    727 kickdown linkage

    The 67 wagon I added to the stable has Lokar kd and throttle. The brackets are super flimsy, can't get kd which I think is from brackets flexing and full throttle due to ratios between them being off. I'm going to get the throttle cable bracket that AR Engineering makes to fit the Performer Rpm...

    Adding PCV to cast covers

    On the 67 wagon I purchased, the PO put cast covers on but used twist in breather caps which are good for creating oil leaks. So using what I learned many years ago from the speed shop I worked at, I knew that the oil fill/PCV cap for mid to late 60's Ford applications works there. The vast...

    Will 426 hemi mounts/K frame fit a 572 Hemi?

    Should be fine as long as the new block has the Hemi mount pads and not the wedge ears.

    8HP-70 will it fit an early B-body??

    Since the trans is more portly than the 727/904, you most likely will have to cut out material and make up new to cover the hole. I did this on my 65 but for other reasons. I'm using a 70 k-frame which moves things back 1.5" or so. I thumped the floor to give clearance around the 727 and Gear...

    What Engine is this?

    I met your dad and Marty at the Spring Fling some years ago. They both signed my BFG banner with Marty's car on it. Have it hanging in my garage. Awesome dude. RIP for your dad and mom. That magazine was one of the best ever put out back in the day.

    Replacing clutch

    Get the flywheel cut while it's out, don't skimp on this unless you like doing the work twice. Don't use Reman clutch items, disc/pressure plate, again unless you like doing it twice. On your components, try to get them as a package. Disc/pressure plate/throw out bearing/pilot bearing. There are...

    65 satellite k-member id and motor mounts help

    If that is the 66- unit, it does move the engine/trans back as mentioned. The trans mount will need mods as mentioned plus the trans to tunnel clearance gets tighter. I had to do some thumping in places on my 65 because I'm using a 70 unit, on purpose. You'll need to get your engine mount...

    46RH will not upshift at full throttle

    What was in front of the trans from the factory? V8,V10 or Diesel?

    Can marine block be built as passenger car engine?

    The crank may have a difference. Look at the rear of the unit where it rides in the seal, make sure the angled grooves match a passenger car crank. Some marine engines were reverse rotation which required those grooves being angled differently. If you don't catch it, you can get a nice big oil...

    Oil filter question

    Me too as I use one of theirs on my Airdog unit for the water separator. Donaldson on the other.

    18 spline Throw out bearing

    Have a look at the PP and determine which one you have. Wide 3 fingers is Borg&Beck which is OE. Diaphragm is update/swap type. Many companies supply Diaphragm as it has an easier pedal effort. The assembled height is different between the two PP styles which changes the overall length of the...

    18 spline Throw out bearing

    Whatever brand you choose to run, make sure it matches up with the pressure plate you are using. OE Borg & Beck[ 3 finger] takes one type/length, diaphragm takes its own and the Ford style Long unit is yet another. With the advent of the diaphragm style units being used for upgrades, due to...
