    What fan to run with super cooler?

    I have had a super cooler for a while now, my 460 and super cooler came without a fan and shroud so I have been running it with an e fan for a while now, I am going to order a shroud for JBG and I am wondering what fan I should order to go with it, there are a ton of variations to choose from...

    Feels like I'm riding in a wave pool

    DON'T mess around with that separated tire, the plies rub against each other inside the tire until it gets so hot it goes BOOM! just like driving with a really low tire. There is no telling when its going to let go, best thing to do is just not let it... If you go for the military 36's post...

    rotate the tires again, if it goes away or changes then its the tires, if not turn the drums, really if its the drums it should be worse while braking, but remember that drums always drag, so it could be felt anytime

    heavy duty 429 worth crap?

    alright this is the kind of info I was looking for, and it settles it, he's probably going to keep looking for something else

    heavy duty 429 worth crap?

    oh, I just figured they would, he's being a sissy and doesn't want to shovel it out anyway. there is no question that its a 429, his boss said he can have it for free if he pulls it out, I was just wondering if this engine would be worth rebuilding for a light truck application or if he should...

    heavy duty 429 worth crap?

    ok I called him, it is a 79 and it is an f-800 he's going to get the casting numbers off the block, I figure that will help.

    9" drain plug?

    I drilled a 3/8 hole on the bottom rear of the diff and bolted a short bolt in there with a nut, then welded the nut to the housing. Its not at the lowest point of the diff because I would rip if off, but most of it comes out. If I were to do it again I would step up to a 7/16 or maybe even...

    What have you done to your 351M/400

    I will give the 335 props there. My tires hit the fenders occasionally now, they didn't with the 351m, my 460 has iron intake and exhaust manifolds 'smiliedoh' .

    What have you done to your 351M/400

    I had two 351m's, niether had oil pressure, I traded both of them and a few humdred bucks for a good running 460 and never looked back. My friend has a mildly built 400 and I do have alot of respect for it, its been a great mill for wheeling and is a lot lighter than my 460

    heavy duty 429 worth crap?

    My friend has the opportunity to buy a truck with a 429 super cheap. I think its a late 70s f-800, not sure about either one, but its a big flat bed. It has a 429 big block in it with a 4 barrel. Is this motor worth building? or is a 429 from this application different than other 429s? if...

    I must be missing something, how did ford cool this thing from the factory?

    Ok, firstly i would like to thank you all for replying, to answer some questions, I will get some pics of the fan set up tomorrow afternoon, the fans seem to move lots of air, you can feel air going in the radiator from outside the grill. The hoses, t stat, and t stat housing are all new, the t...

I put a set of twin E fans off of a chrysler town and country on it becasue I don't have a fan or shroud and they are spendy, the fans move an...
