Yep, everything Day said. Mal's shop is bout 60 miles down the road from me. He does make good stuff.
I'm also not a fan of a hydraulic throwout bearing. I'd be using Day's slave setup.
Cheaper without the bearing.
FYI Ford, Classic Mustang Tech Discussion » I FINALLY got another video up on my 393W build » Today 4:00 PM |
It had been way too long inbetween videos even though I had a good excuse. Mustang Steve gave me some engine building tips and the video is on that and other possible "mistakes" that can cause issues when putting an engine together. I hope to actually get the thing put together in the next couple days.

That's not cheap. I would like to see one installed.

FYI Ford, Classic Mustang Tech Discussion » 351 Roller block » Today 6:40 AM |
I have no use for one at the moment, but I wouldn't pass one up for the right price. Those blocks are only ever going to be worth more money than they are now. A block doesn't take up much space either (I've still got a 390 block and heads under my one workbench that in truth I kind of forgot about until thinking about where I could store a roller 351 block). I think $400 would be my max investment though. Now, if he's only willing to sell the whole deal you can probably sell the rest of the parts off and recoup a lot of your outlay. It just may take some time. '97 would have an E4OD trans I think. That's probably worth a couple hundred if its a good working low mileage trans.
FYI Ford, Classic Mustang Tech Discussion » Where was it that was a good place to get the stock HO roller cam » Today 6:33 AM |
Either cam will be a step backwards. I'm trying to figure out what you're trying to do. The E cam is a .498/.498 lift cam with 220/220 duration (at 0.050) on a 110 degree LSA. Basically the E cam was a step up from the stock HO cam where you didn't have to worry about running a valve into a piston, or issues with the EFI. A single pattern cam for a stock E7TE head was kind of a joke. The port flow ratio in them was not matched to where a single pattern cam was the best choice. I think Ford ground them single pattern because it was cheaper. Basically the E cam was a cheap performance roller cam that gave you a decent bump in power over stock (the B cam was kind of an in between step that most guys just walked right past). Now, if you ported the heads, or went to an aftermarket head a single pattern cam can actually be the optimum choice, BUT if spending $1,500 or more on a head swap there are better cam choices only costing maybe another $100. If your cam was chosen in consultation with Howards I would tend to think it was better matched to your engine than an off the shelf Ford Racing cam.

FYI Ford, Classic Mustang Tech Discussion » So I opened a can of worms... » Today 6:10 AM |
I purchased a repair plate for that purpose many years ago. It is not welded in, and used the existing screws to hold it in place. It has held up for about the past 20 years. Suggest checking with the supply houses to see if it is still available.

You might try an engine rebuilder, they may be willing to sell you a bare block. (if they have some).
The problem is I don't need it. I just saw it and know they don't come up much. Figured if the price is right, I'd get it. Witch goes back to what MS says; Money you enjoy wasting -----------.
Going to message him and see if he'll split the motor from the drive train and how much.
Just remember if you’re have a manual transmission with the Original “Z-Bar” clutch mechanism, the newer blocks do not have the threaded hole for attaching the Z-Bar.

So, I got the heater assy rebuilt and installed using MS's trick with the water hoses, which I re-routed over the top of the intake manifold. I then installed the heated air tube and modified the snorkel to clear the cowl support rod (65 convertible specific) and installed the air cleaner assy. I started the engine and let it warm up to operating temp. The heated air valve in the snorkel worked perfectly - wide open when cold and fully closed when warmed up. Also replaced the defroster hose upper flange that was broken, and repaired the broken ground wire on the windshield wiper motor. Everything now works as advertised - got lots of heat and defroster air too.
I did also discover a new issue. Passenger door latch was loose - had one screw missing. Happened to have the correct screw - tightened them up and door closes much better - but I do have a crack in the door frame formed across one of the top two screws.
What is (other than welding) the standard repair for this?
