Cobra Completion Fundraiser for 767Jockey

[trularin]

Who is doing the engine?

I have and will give a complete FE ( 360 ) to a machine shop.

It is almost complete. But for all intensive purposes, it could easily be punched to 406 - 428 slugs. The heads are truck smog style, but I can toss in a set of 6040s.

Here is the problem, Either it is going to have to be some place close to Detroit, OR there is going to have to be an effort to get it shipped.

He has a 390 in short block form and the majority of the top end parts, but needs different heads (I think he said the the ones he has have the raised exhaust ports) and needs someone to build it.

In what condition is the engine/parts? Is it just ready to assemble or does it need machine work, more parts, etc?

I would donate assembly labor if someone wants to get the parts to me and have it freighted back.

Thanks, Brent. The short block is assembled, all I need to do is slide the cam in and chain, bolt the heads on, and finish it up. I've done a few engines in the past but never an FE. I may have some questions as I bolt it together. If I can call you as I progress with a question or two that would be great. Between you, assuming you don't mind a phone call or two, and Rick Lake, I should be great in the tech support network area!

I'm going to send you a PM, as I have questions about the heads that I have for the engine. They're D2TE-AA's and I'm told the exhaust port won't work with headers. Thanks.

PM sent requesting info on the D2TE-AA heads that I have. Thanks, Brent!

Wow, that's an amazing offer, thanks so much. I think I'm ok in the engine department, but I may need to replace the heads that I have for it. What are 6040's? I'm not all that familiar with the FE head numbers. I have D2TE-AA heads. I am told that the exhaust port in these heads is in a different location in reference to the header mounting bolts, which results in an inability to seal with the thin sealing ring on the headers. If this is true then I will need heads, I suppose. Thanks again for the kind and generous offer!
