1) The speedometer needle is jumpy, but settles down once stable cruising speed is reached. Could it be the cable or something needing lube?

2) The gas gauge only goes to 3/4 full. Could that be a float problem? If so, is that easy to access for replacement?

I put a 428 C6ME block into it last year and have been enjoying it with the automatic until I got the parts to put in the 4 speed. I got a HEH-R close ratio toploader for the tranny these came in 65 galaxies behind the 427 . they were large input and 28 spline output. I got an 11.5 clutch , seeing the 11 wouldnt fit the large input . I got the correct C5AA-6394-a bellhousing that was correct for the 65-67 galaixes . I was told these origonally had 11 clutches , but an 11.5 would fit . and I got an aftermarket flywheel from ebay (250323484037 item is identical to what I bought) that is externally ballanced and is 184 teeth. It is for a 428 FE motor. THe problem I have is , everything bolted up , but when I tried to bolt the starter up , the teeth were alreay engaged to flywheel, as if though the flywheel was wrong for the application or I needed some sort of spacer to let starter disengage . I burned one starter up ,because once the engine started it couldnt retract , there was no where to go . what did I do wrong? Should I get a flywheel for a 427 seeing that the transmission is for a 427 ? My 428 is externally ballanced. THe flywheel is 15.5 in diameter. is the flywheel incorrect for my application ? do I need a different bellhousing because I have a 428 from a 68 in there? the bellhousings from 68 behind cobrajets were 11.5 clutches. that make any difference? I thought all FEs had the same external dimensions . Im very frustrated and now Im gonig to need to tear the whole thing down it looks like . is there a spacer with the starter I need to get ? please help if you can . THis has been a real pain in the ass. thank you for all the help you can give .

What needs to be done:Need to wire the dash and motor back up,install all trim,needs to be reupholstered and painted,needs exhaust,remount hood and install door poppers and solenoids.Eventually going to change the ar ride system to 8 valve to avoid body roll. I also need to find a trans kickdown/TV rod for the motor/trans combo,so if anyone has one,let me know. Also looking for the overfill tank for an FE.

Here's some pics for now:

Can I do 255/60x15s in the rear? 275/60x15s? And what size will work on the front??:confused5: Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

It is sitting in a 65 ford 250 custom truck. It is probably not the original engine. The junkyard claims it is a 390. But there is no 352 casting on the drivers side of the the block. The cylinder heads read C6AE-U. I thought all Ford Fe motors have the 352 stamp on the driverside of the block. But i scraped all the oil residue and i cant find one on the drivers side of the block. Another interesting thing is that the Oil Filter is mounted in a sideways position. Usually they are mounted in a vertical postion down by the fuel filter. This one is mounted by the fuel filter but in a horizontal position.

I took out the visible screws and when I pry lightly at the bottom, the bottom part of the panel seems to come free but the rest of it doesn't.

Do the two handles for the main windows and the smaller window need to be removed as well? If so, how do these handle's come off as I haven't been able to find a way to remove them.

My mechanic called today to say that one of the cylinders is burning oil. I had brought the car in with white smoke coming out of right tailpipe after a 100 mile cruise.

Engine is a fresh upper rebuild with 800 miles, done just before I bought the car. There was no smoke in the beginning. Mechanic said that lower engine looks pristine.

Anyone care to diagnose?
