Those heads look good in that fairlane!
Now - you need to sell the comet ( the tripower FE intake is listed ) and get the fairlane up and ready to rock and roll in the spring.There's always something new to learn.Comment

Re: my projects
Neat collection...the Comet and Fairlane in partic. Obviously lots of guys are Mustang fans but I prefer the mid-size and full-size Fords. Good luck putting the big motor into the Comet, certainly a lot less hassle to go with a stroker small-block.Michael from Hampton RoadsComment

Re: my projects
Some thick metal on these old trucks, takes a long time for the rust to eat through it.Comment

Re: my projects
Decided to brave the cold and started working on the fairmont. Pulled the motor back out and disassembled it to id the parts. I had my son help me, a little bond time.
That is some old oil
It's a roller. For a 1989 EFI it still had a fuel pump eccentric
Now I have to clean the parts!Comment

Re: my projects
Yes that is a fuel pump eccentric on a EFI motor. The timing cover also has the boss for the pump, but it is cast closed. I pulled this motor out of a 1989 towncar. I think at the time some of the trucks had carburetors.Comment

Re: my projects
It even has the 302 firing order and not the 351w firing order.Comment

Re: my projects
I think it is E8SE? ???Comment

Re: my projects
I think all no H.O. motors have that firing order, H.O. had the 351 firing order because they had a marine 351w camOriginally posted by fordmanComment

Re: my projects
I think you'll be better off using your '87 heads, we can look at my '89 heads, but I think there is at least one cracked exhaust valve in them.
We can compare my '89 mustang shortblock to this one - maybe learn a few interesting things.
Nice work.There's always something new to learn.Comment

Re: my projects
Started work on the fairmont today. Found a small rust hole that turned out to be a large hole.
So I headed to Smead steel and picked up some square tube started to fix it I ran it back to the firewall.

Re: my projects
Wow, that rust looks pretty bad. Parts of my Escort are starting to look like that. How's the rest of the car? 5.0 in the Focus might be a better plan.
I think I'm going to check out that junkyard in that Tom was talking about in Taylor tomorrow. Need me to keep an eye out for anything?Comment
