Please jump over to the OBB web site and look for my questions in the engine section of the forum. And one I forgot to ask: What color should I paint it?

For those who are not up to speed and want to chime in..it;s an '87 5.0 HO roller motor, but we're going with a 4V intake and carb and a Unilite dizzy...to keep things simple

Help us out and jump over to the OBB site and to the engine thread in the forum.
I was thinking dark Ford blue.

Come on guys...I have some questions over on OBB, engine forum, that need answering. The heads are done..the shortblock is assembled as of 10 minutes ago.
1986 E6SE 5.0 Mustang roller motor, converted to 4V carbed:

How many tooth flywheel do I need to put on this thing?

Isn't someone going to make sure that the build has power steering? I'll mount a pump on this thing if it will..it should.

Point me to a tech article or such that deals with the lack of the boss for the clutch bell crank mount on the 5.0 block.

I'm going with Dk Ford Blue paint(only got one vote on the color) ..finned aluminum valve covers, wrinkle black with sanded fins.

You need a 164 tooth flywheel. Not real sure about the boss on the block I believe that its there its just not drilled and tapped so you'll have to drill and tap it. There should be some info in the links section here.
If you want us to jump to another site a link would help get us there to answer your Q's
