Well I was looking at my (5D26-1965-Cast- SBF heads) that been on the shelf for too long now and it looks like the machine shop removed the...
From my research the 1970 C4's were the only year that had the 26/26 input spline shaft. From 71 it changed to a 26/24. If I do come across a...
Just curious how did the transmission input shaft hold up?
My 67 is in the case. The tube ran so far down that I thought it went into the pan but I found some pictures of what those C4's look like. Thanks
Understood, I appreciate the feedback. I will look around and do some research on the later model C4's. Is there anyway to identify them quickly...
Thanks for the information, didn't realize that it would rob power. The pictures included do have the 5 bolt bell on the transmission. Haven't...
Imbalance is 28 oz. I have the 157 tooth flexplate. My trans has the fill tube going into the pan. I have a early 5 bolt bell that was mated to my...
Well money has been really tight, mortgage rates and insurance have gone up these last couple of years so the project came to a stop. Finally got...
Does anyone know if a supercharger is available for a SBF? Looks like Weiand discontinued their product for this application. ♂️
All Business!! Nice Falcon!!
Much obliged, thank you once again for the advice. Valve covers will be towards the end. I'm going to begin prepping the engine bay for paint over...
Thanks, Hooker's are definitely good quality. And yes price does play a big part in all my builds. Not a lot of doe ray me over here, hence the...
Yes sir, I seen a nice finned set on Amazon. Got a question regarding long tube headers. I've pretty much have always used Hedman and I know...
Appreciate the tip. I was thinking about the doubling of gaskets. We will see how it goes.
The heads have been shaved and machined for larger valves. I knew the rocker studs were screw in but I didn't realize the tops were 3/8. Debating...
Is your camshaft solid or hydraulic? That's a pretty big camshaft. I'm assuming you used aluminum heads with the 7/16 rocker stud.
Got it thanks!!
Thanks for the tip on the converter, I like the feel of torque as well. Could you DM the info or person to speak to at Coane?
I've heard modifying the baffles will cause oil to back up. Got a old set of Powered by Ford valve covers I could use.

Quick run down on the block 289 w/302 crank, 40 over so it's stroked to 308. FT Wiseco pistons with Scat rods. Isky cam .517 lift 108 LSA. C4...
Just wanted to see what anyone may have experienced with a 3/8 screw in stud vs the 7/16. Will the 3/8 hold up when spinning up the RPM's. From...
Trying to avoid full roller rockers, conventional would let me keep older style valve covers. Seems like all the valve covers that will clear the...
Did some research to my surprise the 351W came with the 5/16 rocker stud which was a surprise to me. 390's are 3/8.
Just sharing the info, reached out to Comp Cams they do not offer a conventional rocker arm in 7/16 for the SBF. Not sure if anyone does, search...
Understood. I will get a straight edge and check, in this pic the top of the boss is even with the Valve cover edge. [ATTACH]
So the top of the boss needs to be machined down to run 7/16 hex screw studs with the steel stamped conventional rockers? My heads are stock 1965...
Got it, thanks!
Thanks for the tip! I thought there was machining that had to be done on the bosses to upgrade to 7/16. ARP has several rocker arm stud kits in...
No sir, haven't bought my rockers yet. I do have a set of used steel stamped for the 3/8 stud. I am leaning towards the 7/16 studs and call it a...
