Make sure the dowel goes through the gear and the fuel pump eccentric that has a tang to hold the dowel.
I think you might know what you’re doin. All sorted out that 410 like a gearhead. And you first hand, and camera girl not only love you dearly, they managed to help, and learned a lot from the old man. Congrats on the new torque wrench. And that rotary phone ring!
You got it all goin on. ❤
👍put blue loctite on the pick up bolts.
Brings back good memories 😊😊
I have a soft spot for the FE and have had several. Torque monsters and durable, if a little thirsty. Unless I was doing a period correct restoration, I’d roll with the 385 series (429, 460) big block.
Cheers
Big waterslot goes to rear, passenger side gasket is upside down. If the passenger head gasket has the slot in front the passenger side head will overheat.
Great video! Ty
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have never seen the crank ID, I have a 410 crank they are the same as a 428 CJ. The SCJ is different.
Flat tappet cam and lifter cores have gone downhill since the OEMs/car manufacturers have gone roller, you read so many horror stories of flat cams and collapsed lifters (which take out fresh rebuilds). Retrofit roller cams/lifters aren’t inexpensive but provide a great piece of mind (not to mention unbelievable performance).
Tony actually already swapped out his motor for a new one after we made the series haha! Maybe we can grab some video of it!
@@MotorheadSweethearts hun, I guess that’s why everything is a project. The reward is in the doing, the driving is just an objective. ❤
Thats my current decision to make. Up here in Canada, everything costs 1.75 on the US dollar. but you’re right. My rebuild is because of a leaky, hot rebuild with a blown cylinder gasket, rear seal, vapour lock and a collapsed lifter. It ain’t easy, being green.
@@1961BulletI started with a cracked Manifold and out of tune carburetor.
I’m looking at right now the motor disassembled, the entire front end of Car removed, doors, panels, trunk, entire interior stripped, dash. I’m not sure what happened I remember a couple “might as well while I’m here” and I guess I’lll be able to say I know the car inside and out . Which I had never even changed the oil in a car before starting this and knew literally 0 about engines, didn’t even know what carburetor did. But I threw a $20 in the collection plate last week so I’m good
The oil pump goes in front.
Thank you for your service in the “Nam”
On FE builds, the cam should always be put in FIRST before the rotating assembly!! On a FE motor build, the crank and rods will not interfere with the lobes on the camshaft while rotating the crank & rod assembly before timing set is installed!!
By installing the cam first, you can guide the cam into position with much more control and accuracy, thereby eliminating another possible cause of cam failure!
Cam failures can be cause by “skimming” the lobes against the cam bearings when you install the cam without proper guidance!
We cringe when we see cams installed this way!
AND, every motor build should include camshaft degreeing! We have seen cams that are 6-7 degrees retarded when installed straight up, creating a poorly performing engine!
whats your experience with comp cams for the 390, some same they have issues
Is it confirmed to be a 410?
What is the crank ID?
Clearly forgot to loctite the oil pump bolts..those will be in the pan one day.
Don’t forget the keys!
4 long and the halo bolts are short.DO THE 4 bottom first.
The motor will be wiped out I only use roller cams now.
They have to spin.
And reused the original head bolts, nope. Only ARP bolts can be reused.
NO NO NO N O NO NO NO NO NO NO NO, you're alreadyt MESSED UP the timing chain. That SPACER DOES NOT, I REPEAT DOES NOT get re-used. That spacer is ONLY used for assembly line upper gear. The spacer is BUILT ONTO the new upper timing gear. Your cam DOWEL is bottomed in too far, and not engaging the fuel pump cam, your front intake dowel that aligns the intake manifold has been cut flush or hammered into the block so far it won't engauge. SO MANY mistakes here. Don't do what this guy does.
He's old school but uses a dewalt drill to put in the bolts. 😦
Painful
