Welcome from the Netherlands
Merry christmas from Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Yeah guys, I know, not the best way...... But with no timing pointer and no numbers what so ever on the balancer it's the best I could do. And it...
I did the timing adjustment "by ear". Since my timing pointer and balancer didn't match... So it could be the timing (sure hope so)... Pistons are...
The motor did run very well. I asume that with to much preignition the engine would not run that nice. The gas i'm running here in Holland is good...
(I also posted this threat on the FE forum but any hambers info is welcome) I found out my 5 out off 8 pistons have cracks in theme some are small...
Even here in Amsterdam, the Netherlands there's a blizzard!!! Good thing I just found out that the pistons of my 390 FE are cracked...... So the...
Nice photo's with the rods on the dirt, looks like a nice trip!
No pic's of 60's Lincolns? Those are cool 4 doors.
Welcome from Amsterdam! Nice wagon, wagons RULE!!!
Wow, Martin Dijkhof is one of the best here in holland, he did my fathers Jaguar E-type a couple of years ago. Hope to see some pic's soon!
He Eric, How are things going? You allready found a place near Haarlem to work on your '41? It really looks nice and that 392 will be one of the...
Well, mine tured out to be a full rebuild...... Takes another 4 to 5 weeks before the parts (specialy the Crower Beast cam) make it over to this...
I will put some pic's up here but the outside will be stock but with a gold paint job. Origenal should be black but that's so boring and with gold...
He Cortney, The 390 is allready out of the Merc an taken apart. I found out that the pvc inlet at the rear of the manifold was blocked with...
Here's my brothers Chrysler wagon with Surfboard. In front of him is my '64 Merc. [IMG]Here's my Merc: [IMG]
Still no photo's????
Can´t really help you out but I had a ´64 c-o-m in my '64 Merc Wagon and I swaped it for a decent c6. I was lucky to find a C6 near Amsterdam for...
Thanks for the info and the offer to send some summit stuff to the Netherlands but I think it's easier to build something myself.... Should't be...
I want to install new cam bearings in my '64 390 FE but I don't have the proper tool..... I can get my hands on a home-build sbc installation...
I use Jaxed, : http://www.jaxed.com/cgi-bin/mash.cgi
@ 34 toddster: No it's a hydraulic cam. If I can find a old style timing set here in the Netherlands I'm gonna use the stock cam. If I need...
Cam and lifters look great. If I want to change to a new style cam do I need to change/alter some oil passages?
I think I got a old style cam in a new style block. In the photo you can see the trustplate bolt holes and the old style cam with the "nose"....
Old: [IMG] New: [IMG]
Old cam sprocket: [IMG] New cam sprocket, Edelbrock 7808: [IMG]
It sure is weird. The distance from the bolt hole to the dowel hole is twice as big on the old sprocket. I'm working on some pictures as we speak.
There where no dowels in the kit at all.... The old dowel fits in the new sprocket (very easy) but the sprocket hole and the cam hole don't...
Nice project, wagons are coooooool. Nice motor!
I got myself a Edelbrock performer-link timing chain set (7808) for my 1964 Ford 390 FE with the stock cam. During instalation I noticed that the...
