OT'S 47-51 ??? Rebuild ??
the old trucker:
I got an early Christmas gift offered to me yesterday. I was offered a 300 fuel injected Ford engine, free for the taking. It has low mileage on it. I would like to know if my C6 transmission will bolt up to this engine & if it would be a better engine for the bombers. I have a place to keep it out of the weather. Just want to know if it's worth bringing home.
I must have been a good boy all year, I guess??

O.T. The bushings are 5/8X1X1 1/4. part no. 3872108. you can see them on the princess auto web site. I was thinking of using a grease needle to give it a few shots once in awhile.
the old trucker:
I like the idea of the grease nipple. A friend was thinking along the lines of using a sealed bearing. I think the bushing idea would work OK. Things are pretty well slowed down for now. my so called buddy "Art Rightis" is always hanging around this time of the year.
A stiff old trucker
the old trucker:
Orin, Gror, or Swamp Dwag, when I put my engine (300 Ford) in place, how should I aline it side to side?? I was thinking of centering the big bolt on the crank in between the frame rails. I think it's 11.25 " Think that will be OK ??? :-\ Thanks in advance
Ohh... When I install my motor, the height from the belly pan to the bottom of the base pan will be 3". Think that will be enough clearance ??
OT.

My biggest issue I had was to get enough room for the alternator. I had to put on a remote oil filter because I could not get a short oil filter on .
