anyone know if the 400M is a decent fit in a 58 Fairlane? Car has a dead 6/3 spd and I was given a 400M/C4. Will the 400M work with the 3 spd? thanks Bill

I know since its an FE it will fit, but what else do I need to change? I'm pulling a 223 6 cyl thats in front of a 3 speed w/overdrive (keeping the ******). Besides the motor mounts, what else needs to be addressed thanks Bill

I'm pretty sure but correct me if I'm wrong. 61 Galaxie - front and rear brake drum are interchangeable. That said, will the drums interchange from earlier series?...I have an extra set of good front drums off a 58 CS and bad rears on the 61 2dr. Would be a great temp fix if the drums...

howdy all straight to the Q, is a 223 to 292 a bolt-in swap in front of a 3 spd OD or do I have to make wholesale changes like bell housing, etc? thanks Bill

I thought I had asked this before but couldn't find the post so my apologies if I have. I have a 58 wagon with the 223 and 3 spd OD trans. I have found a nice running 223 out of a 64 F100 with a 4spd. Do I need to swap the flywheel/PPlate clutch from the 58 to the 64 engine or will the existing...

On my 58 County Sedan, I need to replace a missing overdrive relay. Is there a modern replacement or something else that will work? The few I have found on line as OEM replacements must be made of unobtanium based on how they're priced... thanks Bill

anyone know off the top, bottom or side of their head the disc size for a 58 CS with the 223/3 spd OD trans? I have seen 10.5 and 11 and would like to order a new clutch disc only once... THANKS Bill

found a nice running 223 out of a 64 F100 that a guy was updating to a 351/T5. My plan is to use this to replace the dead 223 in my 58 Country Sedan w/3spdOD. Question is, I'm guessing the 64 is an 11" clutch and my gut tells me the 58 is going to be a 10". The multiple questions are: worst...

hey guys just bought a rebuilt 223 from a guy that said he couldn't keep the valves adjusted. I pulled the valve cover and I notice there are no cinch/pinch nuts on the adjusters. Are there supposed to be? If so, I think I found his problem! Bill

Just had a 64 223 given to me, has new push rods but supposedly the cups are bad on a couple of rocker arms and the push rods wont stay in place. I have a 58 223, will the rockers from the 58 work on the 64? thanks Bill

I have this nice 250/C4 and just found a 66 Galaxie with a dead 240/C4. Will it swap? Bill

Had a friend give me the 250 I6 from his Mustang he is turning into a Vintage Racer. I know expect the mounts will be different, but will it bolt up to the 3 Spd overdrive in my 58 Country Sedan? Also, anyone know what flywheel will bolt up (such as the fly off the 223) to the 250? thanks Bill

58 Country Sedan with 223/3 speed. I want to do an engine swap but retain the original 3 speed w/overdrive. Anyone know of an adapter plate or similar? Anyone done this? thanks Bill

I just found a good running 330 for $50. Will it "bolt-in" my 58 CS with 3 spd? Bill

BUT!!! (don't ya just love it) retain the 3 speed w/overdrive. Will the 3 spd bolt up? thanks gang Bill

I had a 460/C6 given to me but then the "gift" came with strings so I backed out. Not to mention that by the time I get Crites mounts, headers and other changes I'm going to be right at a grand into the engine conversion. So.... Anyone know if the motor mounts from a 64 Galaxie with a 289 will...

Up till this morning, my plan was to replace the dead 223 with a 351/C4 setup. As I said...till this morning. My Son-in-Law had a really nice 76 T-Bird... till yesterday morning. Seems a trash truck going about 40 mph used the Birds back bumper for primary braking at a stop light. Had it been...
