Congratulation! Post more pictures.
Just enough parts not on hand to put build on hold.
Got gears changed from 3.55 to 3.73, dam tape glue is hard to get off, and built engine lift mounts.IMG_5899Toms 33 for net5.JPGIMG_5900Toms 33 for net5.JPGIMG_5902Toms 33 for net5.JPGIMG_5903Toms 33 for net5.JPGIMG_5904Toms 33 for net5.JPG
Got all panel holes drilledpics for hot rod net0010.JPGpics for hot rod net0011.JPGpics for hot rod net0012.JPG and deburred. Will take them and other parts to powdercoater.
pics for hot rod net0013.JPG Got some parts, but not the ones i need now. Owell always something else to work on.
Did the crate engine come with the fly wheel? I Also see you got the boyd tank, are you going with the in tank pump? Looks good so far I will be keeping a close eye on your build as our power trains are very similar.
BigB, yes engine cam with the stock flywheel, but i went with lightened billet flywheel - superior clutch, kevlar both sides - tilton 6000 clutch release - quick time bell and t56 trans from MDL.
Checking bell to trans had to cut some off top two bolts. ARP bolts.
Pilot bearing, one comes with engine, one with clutch. the ford one is thicker and looks better, but checking to make sure there is room.pics for hot rod net0014.JPG

The bigger bearing worked good, came with engine but without checking you never know. Tilton throw- out bearing used up some time to set right, better to check more than once. Will go fast next time. Had to use dermalpics for hot rod net0015.JPGpics for hot rod net0017.JPGpics for hot rod net0018.JPGpics for hot rod net0019.JPG to make round hole out of flat sided slot.

For any one with AC in 33.
FFR did not give info.
Also link for getting belt on http://iihs.net/fsm/?dir=865&viewfil...%205.0L.pdfand off.
Needed clutch stop for the tillton oil throwout bearing.pics for hot rod net0032.JPGpics for hot rod net0033.JPGpics for hot rod net0031.JPGpics for hot rod net0034.JPGpics for hot rod net0035.JPG
Nice job on the clutch stop. Are you going fat on the master cylinder to get shorter pedal travel or just limiting travel to avoid blowing out the bearing?
To avoid blowing out tillion 6000 bearing. It is all setup, per directions put trany in gear and push pedal in till tran turns then 1/4 inch more. Put stop at that, i think that will be about as in pics.
The other thing i had to run e-brake cables under the axle, not over as in plans to work.
Going with 3/4 mc to have it easier to push.
My engine lift bracket on PS will not clear, will try inside bolt on back.
No room on back. Moved lift bracket forward one exhaust port, worked good with comalong from lift bar to back of trans. Will post pics later.
OK motor and trams in to work out problems.
Oil pan is to low, going to work on AC pump to get all the motor up and see if that will work. If close i will put some stanless on pan for armer.pics for hot rod net0036.JPGpics for hot rod net0039.JPGpics for hot rod net0040.JPGpics for hot rod net0042.JPGpics for hot rod net0044.JPG
Had to move engine and trans -UP 1 inch + , Forward 1/2 inch, and over to DS 1/2 inch. Now i have 1/4 inch room engine to firewall, oil pan is even with frame and AC pump drive belt is clear of upper A-frame mount.pics for hot rod net0054.JPGpics for hot rod net0055.JPGpics for hot rod net0056.JPGpics for hot rod net0058.JPGpics for hot rod net0058.JPGpics for hot rod net0049.JPGpics for hot rod net0053.JPGpics for hot rod net0061.JPGpics for hot rod net0063.JPG
Two morepics for hot rod net0045.JPGpics for hot rod net0046.JPG Dam it was easier to weld when eyes were younger!
Put mounts in and all good. But will have to work on pan a little for steering motor.pics for hot rod net0075.JPGpics for hot rod net0074.JPGpics for hot rod net0073.JPGpics for hot rod net0072.JPGpics for hot rod net0065.JPGpics for hot rod net0070.JPGpics for hot rod net0069.JPG
What about clocking the steering motor down a little? Looks like you wouldn't have to change it much.
Did not want to lower steering motor.
OK i had some problems with oil pan. It is the ford road racing pan and is made with hard metal. Did not like first job so cut it all out and did over, got to hot and warped the pan ! Dam i know better. Had to cut half of the flange from pan and spot weld to flat work bench , then heat and needle pen and weld small part around and do over till weled. Then check with die and fix leaks. O'well needed the practice any way? All good and on motor.pics for hot rod net0090.JPGpics for hot rod net0086.JPGpics for hot rod net0088.JPG
If it isn't a challenge then it's no fun, right?
