[Chachi]

:stupid:

[Grand Marquis GT]

Sweet.

I think you should take and build a 5.0 HO out of a mustang, and convert to carb, cleaning up the wiring in the process.

You will almost double your old dyno results...

[Blaze86Vic]

Hmmmm, I think you should go with Clevite 77....

[Chachi]

good call

[gadget73]

Last bearings I got from Advance were Clevite 77 cam bearings, and they're pretty good quality. Its what came in the engine kit from NAPA and I haven't heard too much bad about them. Don't cheap on the gaskets tho, it sucks having to take stuff apart to replace a failed gasket in an ignorant spot. Pretty much all the above I agree with, inspect/replace the rod and main bearings, front/rear seals, timing chain, water pump since it has to come off anyway, and an oil pump. I'd also toss a new front and rear seal in the transmission since its right there and costs $5.

Buy the "Clevitte 77" they may be a little more expensive but they are worth it.

[Freshmeat]

I've always used Clevite 77 bearings... I think they're made by Federal Mogul, but I haven't done an engine build in two years, so I can't really remember.

You can find suppliers on eBay for a lot cheaper than the parts stores.

[Chachi]

should i buy any paticular brand crank bearings and such. or would any old advanced auto shelf stock work?

Shaving the casting marks and giving the engine a mild finish will look awesome. My Dad and I did that to his 292 Y Block, it's pretty easy, only took about 3 hours to give it a decently smooth surface.

Check piston wall wear, and piston wear. Also make sure that your crank bearings are in good shape. This is where people cheap out, and this is where it really makes the difference. If you freshen up the rotating assembly you will get an engine good for another 200,000 miles. This is what makes it feel like a new engine, not just a rebuilt engine. I would replace the crank bearings, and hone the cylinder walls, and get new piston rings. As long as everything checks out to tollerances, that should be all that is needed for the rotating assembly.

I for got about the nylon crank gear... I broke one once its probly still in the oil pan

[Lincolnmania]

definitely replace the oil pump, oil pump shaft, and timing chain/gears.........your car has the nylon crank gear bound to find pieces of it in the oil pan ...check the rod and main bearings.........might also think about a mild performance cam and new lifters
