The black valve cover engines were definitely -3 (Special High Performance - more in a bit). There was the 'lil Red which was supposed to be -3 (some were stamped HP) but it had chrome valve covers. Most of the Super Coupes I have seen had the black valve covers, but 2 of them I checked were...

Induction hardened seats, same as the rest of the engines.

Thank you. I have to learn that now I am required to verify my facts since the accident last year. Correct, not sodium filled it's Stellite faced (coated) exhaust valves. Those valves were supposedly only the -3 engines.

IIRC from 1979, I'll have to look up 1980 again. E57 360 4BBL Engine stamped 360H There were three E58 engines available E58 360 4BBL Engine stamped 360HP with and without A.I.R. pump different VIN codes E58 360 4BBL Engine stamped 360_3 which was supposed to be the 'lil Red, Super Coupe...

Just flange the quarter and finish out everything nicely then Dzus the fiberglass into position. It will make it easier to service and adjust the rear suspension and tires in the pits. I know you strive to make things light.

You will have the ability to tune for any condition with a 4 link, but if you go with a monoleaf and Caltracs leave room to move the shocks to the front of the axle. There are a few guys running really fast monoleaf cars that picked up 60ft time moving the shocks in front of the axle. I didn't...

The Fairlane framerails are a few inches wider than a Mustang/Falcon.

The Magnum rocker arms are lubed via the oil galley in the block. The oil pressure makes it's way through the lifter, into the hollow pushrod, and out to the rocker. This is why you can't easily put LA heads on a Magnum block except for early production Magnum blocks which had the oil passage...

Harland Sharp makes both 1.6 and 1.7 adjustable and non adjustable. You can use the Ford Motorsports 1.7 kit which was supplied by Crane. IIRC the only difference between that kit and the MP (also supplied by Crane) was the pushrods. Basically, any 5.0 Ford Windsor pedestal mount (bolt on)...

Blue tag on a transmission? A blue P3690426 tag sounds like a MP distributor not a transmission. The MP A518 was p/n P5249166 which is discontinued. What is the PK number on the pan rail?

The fast Stock eliminator guys run three pinion planetaries, but everything is custom. There are needle bearings underneath each pinion as well needle bearings under the planetary carrier. There is so much stress at the pinion to carrier if no needle bearing thrust is installed, more pinions...

I checked my brain and found I'm partially correct. There are four planets: 62-65, 66-75, 76-93, 94-up with each having various (3,4,5) numbers of actual planetary gears There are three splines: 62-75, 76-93, and 94-up The only factory steel carrier planets I know of are 94-up I have not...

What year is the 727? There have only been three different splines on the nose of the output shaft over the years. Some planetaries will install on the wrong output shaft only to strip out after a short time. If you want a cheap steel planetary you better find a B van with a 727 from 91-93 to...

I used a 45RFE out of a HEMI truck hooked to a 10.3:1 5.9 Magnum in my 85 D150. It's getting rewired right now with a megasquirt and megashift. It did really well for about 30,000 miles, but the lack of being able to tune the shifts, lock-up schedule, timing curve, and fuel table was more than...
