    MN 302

    Selling as a core. Was running no knocks. Someone put standard pushrods in with guide plates. So metal was definitely shaved off them and into the oil. I just took the aluminum heads.

    Plow switch?

    Is this a plow switch? I’m thinking it isn’t factory, but I’m curious if anyone knows? Maybe winch. I don’t want to just toss if it’s eb specific. I would like to find a plow setup for my bronco someday. So if it’s for that I’ll keep it.

    Steering is darting is this the likely culprit?

    My track bar isn’t in perfect alignment with the drag link. It’s close. But I believe it needs to go up to the next hole on the axle riser. But still wondering if this is likely the reason for the darting back and forth. I just got it back on on the road after tearing it down to a bare frame...

    Dual wiper degree wheel is nothing like what’s in WHs direction,

    I’m thinking these dual wipers got an update that they don’t know about. I’m supposed to move it to the 80 degree slot by removing 2 screws, and then spinning the wheel while it’s on the gear to the correct location. Well my screws are screwed in from the other side. I’m assuming I just pick...

    Stacking washers radius arms

    Why shouldn’t I stack these washers?? It’s the only way to make the castle nut line up with the hole. And if it’s bad can I just weld the washers together? There is 3 washers there.

    Ax15 leaking bad….

    Well ax15 is leaking very badly out of the weep hole in the rear of the transmission. It’s a new kit. It’s only been driven in and out of the garage once, that’s it. It happened when I was installing the engine. I had the trans pointed at an angle. I was swapping motors because I didn’t like...

    50oz flywheel what clutch pack??

    Edit: To anyone searching the net. The luk 07-027 clutch pack and the ARP 130-2201 bolts along with the Power torque NFW1128 Flywheel all worked perfectly! Obviously you will need the correct clutch disc. End Edit….. First picture is the flywheel I bought, not knowing my three finger...

    Not able to reach zero lash extensions even with lifters pumped up

    1987 roller 302 I bought. Didn’t have push rods. I ordered comp 7826-16 rods. Which is 6.248 inches (6.25) I have the rockers tightened all the way and there’s still slack. Against my better judgment I pumped up the lifters by priming the engine, hoping that would take care of it. What am I...

    New motor won’t spin

    All that I have done is installed the oil pickup and the oil pan. I did install the harmonic balancer, but I had to use a pry bar on the back to keep it from spinning. But now it feels like it doesn’t want to move. No spark plugs in.

    Paint behind timing cover

    Motor was rebuilt, and guy painted the block without the timing cover. I’m removing paint on the mating surface. Do I have to remove the rest of the paint on the inside? No paint in the valley.

    Rebuilt engine only idling at 40 degrees advanced (new question 8/19)

    All I did was break the cam in. It was running rich when I broke it on the run stand. I just timed it with a vacuum gauge then. And I could only get about 13 14 psi of vacuum. But it’s putting out a ton of white smoke and reeks of gas. I tried 3 different timing lights on it and it only runs...

    Exhaust, will this clear?? Edit: New questions

    This is the only way a can get this to work, but think the spring will cause a not so great connection. It’s a duff kit from the early 2000s. I can’t find any literature. Been sitting in a box in my shed since then, and looks like it lol.
