Yep, drive ours quiet regularly.

Even in a wedding. Guy found out through some contacts that we owned one and things worked out. Said he always wanted one and couldn’t afford it, and if/when he ever got married, he’d like to find one for his wedding. So my wife and I was very much abliged to help out

Shows and Events / Re: Beaver Springs 2018 Fe Reunion

« Last post by Rory McNeil on November 17, 2018, 03:23:18 am »

The 2018 FE Reunion was one of the best events I have ever been to. Weather was touch and go, with rain, but it got completed. Met lots or nice people, and saw plenty of great cars. First time I have ever been to the NorthEast, certainly won`t be the last time.In addition to the FE reunion, we went to 4 other area dragstrips (Atco,Numidia, Maple Grove and South Mountain), went to S&K Speed in New York, visited the AACA museum in Hershey PA, and the Simione Museum in Phillidelphia, toured G Force racing transmissions, and Ray Barton Racing Engines. Had an absolute blast!

Each block will be different because of bore core shift. Some blocks are ok at .060 some not even close. Anything assembling .040 or larger would be wise to get a sonic map.

Go Canucks !

Lost and Found / Re: Looking for engine and C-6 with 0F505630

Today I bought a 70 428 Police interceptor (date coded 9M13) nicely wrapped up in a 1972 F250. The engine was installed back in the mid 70s when the owner had a mishap with the original 360 and distorted it. Now I need to find a lot of little parts.

Glad you found a block!  It's all those little parts that will get ya :-/

Up date on my Cougar CJ, I have found a set of CL heads that work with the build date of the Police interceptor. I picked up a service replacement 69 CJ Carburetor, A set of reproduction cast aluminium valve covers a set of headers and a number of small parts. The car's trunk is nearly full. I hope to get on to the floor replacement after the first of the year. Maybe I will have this on the road next summer. But more likely in the summer of 2020.

Very cool!  Going to be a sweet beast when you get it all sorted out :-)

Hi, is there an acceptable maximum overbore for a 428 block? How far can you safely go? Thanks
