1963 Ford 427 Fe Engine - Q Code, 410 Hp, Rare! on 2040-parts.com
Wyncote, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for sale is a rare 1963 Ford "Q Code" 427 Engine. It is a Top Oiler. This was a true barn find that sat for many years in a rural Pennsylvania barn, not far from the famous Maple Grove Raceway. The story behind this is that it was purchased by a racer who wanted to use it as a replacement engine after he blew up his 1968 Cobra Jet 428 sometime around 1970. He never got around to putting it in the Mustang, which was sold in 1973 (sorry, I tried to get info on the car, but it's long gone). The engine sat on a stand in the barn for over 40 years until the racer passed away and his estate put it up for sale. I purchased it in October and took it to a machine shop to get it checked, cleaned and ready for sale. I'll give you the whole rundown so you know the story before purchasing. The Bad: Crank (C4AE-B) - The crank seems to be of 1964 vintage and had already been turned -.030. It was magnafluxed and my machinist discovered cracks on #2 & #3 rod throw and on #3 Main. Crank is usable, but will need repair. Heads - (C3AE 6090-H) - Both head have 2 small cracks from Head bolt holes to exterior (exhaust side). The good news is that these can be used without repair as cracks are not in a critical area. Please see yellow grease pencil marks in photos. These are low-rise, big valve heads. Missing - Carb, Valve Covers, Exhaust Manifolds and Distributor The Good: The Block (C3AE 6015-AB) - Block was magnafluxed and is in great condition. It is standard bore - never been overbored. Rods (C3AE-C) - Rods are original, free of defects and have been shot peened. They are just like new. They are bushed for floating pistons and have "football" rod bolts. Intake Manifold (C3AE 9424-E) - The intake is just like new. It was degreased and glass bead blasted to perfect condition. Oil Pan - Very Good, has the windage baffle still intact. Rocker Arms - Adjustable For Solid Cam, Have been reconditioned, shafts were replaced. Perfect. I also have the camshaft, push rods, timing cover, water neck, breather tube, water pump, balacer, pulleys and brackets, and original hardware including the cross-bolts for the mains. (see photos) I have spent over $1000 on the machine work, so please, no low-ball offers. They only made a handful of these, so I'd rather keep it than give it away. Local Pick Up or transportation to be arranged by Buyer. Returns accepted within 30 days, again transportation to be arranged by Buyer. |

U.K. seller gives his 2001 Focus a colorful pitch on eBay
Fri, 15 Apr 2011It's unlikely that many people in the United States are interested in buying a right-hand-drive 2001 Ford Focus Ghia with more than 107,000 miles on the odometer. For starters, you'd have to import it from the U.K. But if this car doesn't sell on eBay it won't be for lack of effort--or creativity--by the seller.
Jaguar XF Sportbrake: Official
Wed, 29 Feb 2012The Jaguar XF Sportbrake finally arrives After months of teasing and spy shots the 2012 Jaguar XF Sportbrake is finally revealed ahead of its debut at the Geneva Motor Show next week. Jaguar has managed to get almost as much pre-launch publicity from the new Jaguar XF Sportbrake as they did from the year-long launch of the XJ. From ‘official’ spy shots to XF Sportbrake Christmas cards via their @sportbrake Twitter account, they certainly covered all the PR bases.
