    Hey Rick,
    Last fall, I did some clutch work. I took the car out and really beat it up to make sure the clutch was going to work out well. When I got home, I noticed a mark on the left side pipe where the engine had torqued over, allowing the header to contact the body.

    Sure enough, the tab that's welded to the frame where the motor mount bolts up had broken. The weld failed. Not Shell Valley's fault. When I installed the engine, I had to cut that tab off and re-weld it. It was my weld that failed, not theirs. No way to get to it without pulling the motor, so I'm doing some cleanup under the hood and putting on new valve seals while the engine is out.

    I'm registered for LCS. That ought to get me going on re-assembly. See you there.

    Mike

    I don't see anything wrong with the add. There were some 390 blocks that were cast thick enough to bore that far, and I have read that Ford did overbore 390 blocks to the 428 bore. This fact was...

    Yes Patrick. Giving up 15 Hp because it makes you feel like you could rev the engine higher, even though in reality it cannot, does not matter one iota for a non race car. If it gives you a false...

    If the 390 block can be cleaned up at a 0.010" over bore, you can do the same thing. Also be aware that there were a few 390 blocks that were cast with very thick cylinder walls. These can be...
