What are FE parts? How can I identify them, and why do people want them. The reason I ask is that I have a 289/302 4bbl intake off a 68 mustang, that I no longer need, and I'm wondering what I should sell it for. any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Well, I've given up on the bird ever showing up again. I can't say it was a cool car or that I'll miss it, but it did have potential. Today I picked up an 84 Monte Carlo for free and paid $350 to have it towed from the Seattle area back to portland. It needs to have the timing chain replaced and a tune up, but over all I think it was an awsome deal. Should have it running tomorrow. Now I have a '68 289/302 intake that I don't need. Guess I'll post it on Craigslist tomorrow. But first I had a question about FE stuff. What is it, and why are people wanting it? How can I identify it? the numbers on the intake are C8ZE-9425-A 7M27. So I know it is a 68 Mustang 289/302 intake made in 12/27/67, but that's it. Any help would be appreciated.
It looks like they used a winch to drag it up onto a trailed or flatbed wrecker. I was looking as the skid marks left on the pavement this morning. I'm wondering if there might be some shady wrecking yards in the area. If so, it's probably already been crushed and loaded for shipment to the recycling plant.
Chevy did make a lot of changes. I guess I never really thought about before. I've owned several camaro's and now an el camino, so I know them pretty well at this point, and it's become stuff I just don't have to think about anymore. Fords are new to me. I bought this one off a friend to help him out, and now have to learn all about them. still don't like the seperate starter solonoid thing or the seperate coil, but it's still a car.
Was not sure which year or car to pull the motor from. Figured I'd hunt Craigslist untill I found one for around $100. Eventually it would get dual exhaust, but the stock would work for the time being. Considered the 351, but decided I still wanted ok gas milage. The El Camino is my hot rod, the T-bird just needed a little extra. If I wanted another fast car I'd go buy another Camaro. Eventually the T-bird would have ended up all built up, but that wasn't the plan just yet. But now that it's been stolen, who knows what will happen to it.
I have an 84 t-bird with the 3.8L and I want to do away with all of the electronics and emission stuff and drop in a 302. need to know how much stuff is interchangeable on the 302/5.0 throught out the years. For example: will an intake from a '78 302 bolt on to a '92 5.0L? I'm used to Chevy's where EVERYTHING is interchangeable.
Well, the car was stolen today. So, hopefully it is found soon, but until then I'm stuck. Can't afford another car and didn't have insurance on this one. They must have really needed the parts, because the intake and TB were sitting in the drivers seat. Oh, well.
