pete,
thanks so much for the reply. i was beginning to wonder if any info at all was available. you are absolutely correct concerning old tecnology in the general aviation arena. i'm just getting back into this hot rod thing, have always wanted a cobra, and could not imagine putting any other engine in a replica other than a ford. i've been real happy with the ford motorsports people/distributors but was amazed that there is no information that i can find concerning the XB3 engine. maybe i'm supposed to just know these things, but during my aviation career if i've learned one thing, you don't guess on torques, timing etc. i appreciate your input and hopefully someone else will wade in here with additional information. at this point i have to assume there is no service manual specific for this engine available. i have located a general rebuild/overhaul manual for the 302 engine,but this of course does not include information on aluminum heads and roller cams. heck, i may be pulling heads, changing the cam, lots of things. just wanted some data. thanks again.
BTW, ford SVO tech line....where do i get that number?
