Nice motor!
Was it just me or did you have a hard time finding a timing pointer for that side of the motor?

 

timing pointer came with the engine when i pulled it out of the cop car so know it was easy to find

 

What year motor is that? I think mine is a 83' block.

 

its a 91 block the motor came in a 91 crown vic highway patrol did not have EFI it had that VB carb on it with the dura spark II system .no o2 sensors none of that crap
and it was the right engine for the car

 

they may have had to run the old setup no good intakes and stuff for the 351w

 

Dave, when you get it all together, where are you going to be racing it at? National Trails by chance? I am outside of Canton, and it would be great to get down and see your car run. I have been down to National Trails for their big summer event, but it has been a few years ago. I think it is every July?

By the way, that engine is looking good!!

 

yeah i am going to run it National Trails just have to watch with no cage and 11.99 or faster you have to have one

 

WOW!

That thing oughta push the Grabber down the track. Better start
looking for a 10 pt cage soon.

(I couldn't help but notice the painted oil filter flange though - I
KNOW that it's gonna be removed.... and I know it shouldn't
bother me, but it does. I changed my filter after 100 miles on my
stroker (347) and found paint chips galore in the filter - after I cut
it open to look for shavings, etc).

Okay, now that I have that outta the way, good luck with the
install and subsequent WOT! That should be a blast!

Keep us posted,

oil filter flange did not get fully painted just over spray but the gasket area did get painted the rest comes off

 

hey Maverick Guy you want that old grabber hood needs work i took the scoops out but if your ever down this way you can have it save me from trashing it

 

I always paint my motors with a filter on. Safer that way.

I never paint my motors chevy orange, though......

 

its ford red

 

Dave,

Can you email me pics? I had thought about it before, but I assumed it was gone by now.

Please email me at maverick.guy@netzero.net .

Are you going to be able to get your car on the track this year yet? What nights does national trail run?

Thanks,
