Gary Lewis Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Beautiful! Love the headers. Do they clear the frame? I had some problems with mine, but I have the massive 460, so the clearance is minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Gary , I have no idea ! not really an issue ,i will just alter them if required , I am expecting something , plan is to just get the motor together this year ,no hurry , and would like to paint engine bay, to tidy up the blue on a replacement guard ,not a show truck but tidy , I have a mate to wire in My Motec ECU and i have a fast ignition box need to make a relay and fuse block , get rid of those TAD TAB solenoids . I was an Auto machinist by trade, also worked as a fitter and turner / fabrication , and now a shift engineer. I want motor to have good torque ,smallish cam , intake runners maybe a little short, but might be better on runner volume to suit the cubic inch . Cheers.

I am recycling some of these parts and some were bought cheap at the right time , should turn into a nice motor. I bought these heads in about 1992 !

Gary Lewis Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I am recycling some of these parts and some were bought cheap at the right time , should turn into a nice motor. I bought these heads in about 1992 ! My mistake on the headers was to have them Jet-Hot coated w/o having installed them. The coating means you don't want to be rough with them, much less beat on them w/a hammer. So it was no fun installing them and I had to cut ~1/2" out of the frame to get enough clearance. Nice looking heads! On the relays, you might read Scott's experience here: http://forum.garysgaragemahal.com/The-Camano-Experience-tp35327p48433.html.

Those are robust systems that work nicely, so it is a shame to have one but not be able to use it. Glad you got yours going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you got yours going. I dont know much about the speed control , so is the servo and all the related parts reliable ? , i have seen the diagram on this site , but not much info on the web , i have seen a new servo for sale that looks exactly the same but is for a 90 and says not compatable ? What normaly stops working . The headers , that is why i bought the uncoated , i could have made some but didnt like the idea of perching myself on the guard or radiator to tac up pipes , dont think my back would like that anymore ☺ Cheers.

Yes, the various parts are very reliable. I've not seen any of the parts fail. As for the later ones, my catalog only goes through 1989, so I can't say after that. But I know that by '95 the system changed from a vacuum-operated servo to an electrically-operated servo. However, through 1989 Ford used similar servos. You can see the part numbers on our page at Documentation/Electrical/Speed Control and on the Part Numbers tab. I just added that tab and its contents so you could see the parts in the kits. You'll see that D9AZ 9C735-B was the servo used from 1980 through 1983. Then E4AZ 9C735-B was introduced in 1984 and used through 1987. And E73Z 9C735-A was introduced in 1988. However, I have handled all of them and can't tell them apart, so would bet they will interchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
