For the injectors I’d listen to Gary for sure. He knows more about this stuff than most all of us do. Why not just buy 3.8 cam sync off of like summit or somewhere? It’s what I did but I’m running an oem 5.0 explorer style. I bought mine off of rockauto and the timing alignment tool from somewhere I’ve forgot now. I’m not understanding what the “custom collar”
He's got a 351W based engine. The diameter of the distributor hole in the 351W block is larger than that on a 5.0/302, and the hex on the oil pump driveshaft is larger, so a 5.0 cam synchronizer won't work. Ford never made a 351W with distributorless ignition thus no off the shelf cam synchronizer. But the 3.8 V6 (Windstar among others) uses the same 5/16" hex as the 351W except with the 5.0/302 OD at the block. The adapter sleeve fits the OD of the 3.8 synchronizer and positions the cam gear at the right height.
Oh ok I gotcha.
Motorcraft for the cam synchronizer. Part number DA-2096. Here's one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/3181991082...d=link&campid=5335857059&toolid=20001&mkevt=1
@lars would you mind sending me the info about the collar also? I’m interested in building a 351 in the future and I’d like to get my hands on one or two of these
Gary mentioned the sim 60s were great but complicated the tables on the computer?... new to EFI. Haven’t ordered injectors yet. Appreciate your efforts on the 3.8 collars. Any help/suggestions appreciated.
Correction to my above post, the Coyote injectors are 34 not 39. Found some Bosch #62408 original equipment coyote injectors on Amazon for $265. May just order these. What is the issue with "dual cone"? IS this what you were referring to "Split Stream"?
Dual cone or split stream injectors are meant for dual overhead cams on a coyote etc.. You want a single narrow cone. Picking injectors is a science.
Looks like we are getting close on the collar group buy. Just need one or two more. Got all the parts reccommended by you and Gary. We are thinking I should run the Siemens 60s like you. Where did you order yours? Having trouble finding a reputable company that will ship to CA. I know there are a lot of counterfits going around. He suggested using my 65MM BBK TB for better throttle response. What are your thoughts, think I saw you're running a 75. Have a extrude honed upper and lightning lower I will port match to the AFR 185 heads. We also updated the setup for a ford slot MAF (3L3Z-12B579-BA).
More later but for now, I got my injectors from an outfit in sunny Ventura, CA. Looks like they still stock them: https://www.highflowfuel.com/siemen...tors-ev1-60mm-length-630cc-107961-choose-qty/
