Worn right down the middle.

Use the side of one of the other lifters to check the crown. Look for daylight on the edges.

Make sure the lifters fit smooth and rotate. I've had good luck with the red stuff from Comp.

Its the 1 2 shift that sucks.

I had a 3 speed in my F100. Its ok if you like taking it easy.

Not sure if this will work. I scanned them from 8 1/2" x 11" pages I got with my 2" Pro Parts.

Power steering. Manual is too much wheel work.

Remove pump, then remove pipe plug, then remove pushrod.

The 1965 727 should have different splines on the input shaft than the later trans/converter. You might be forced to use your existing converter. Get the balanced flexplate if needed.

Take this chart with a grain of salt. Got it from a big block Ford site.

I love it. The 383 is so often skipped over. That engine should last a good long time.

That's like .030 over

213's are regular style heads with the extra coolant holes and peanut plugs..

How do you deal with the exhaust crossover ports?

I think headers would really let that induction work.

The cam and cam gear is the only difference.

A mostly stock 440 will make a horsepower per cube pretty easy and hold up well.

There is a short motor that works also.

X2 on the Pro Parts. My only complaint is they hang low.

The slots look killer.

Put blue on the bearings and bolt it together dry. Take the caps back off and look for shiny spots.

Those .990's are in my Dart now with a 440. They set the ride height smack in the middle of the adjustment range.

73 was good year for motorhome engines. Look for the peanut spark plugs and non weighted damper.

book says 8.41

The one I have on the stand waiting to go in is out of a 77 C body. Cast crank .Original pistons about .140 in the hole. 452 heads milled .025 with a mild bowl blend. Steel shim head gaskets. Should be right about 8:1. It has the old 284 cam installed +4 with Crane singles and Comp locks...

Great job!

How much low RPM torque are you going to stick to the ground on street tires?

Clevelands are the only other engine I can think of with a dry intake.
