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. |

2011 BMW 6-Series Convertible debuts
Thu, 18 Nov 2010The 2011 BMW 6 Series Convertible - on sale March 2011 Perhaps BMW wants to grab a slice of the top-end convertible action next Spring, or maybe they just fancied turning normal model launch convention on its head by launching the soft-top first. But whatever BMW’s reasoning the fact is that we will get the 2011 BMW 6-Series Convertible in March, probably six months before the 6-Series Coupe arrives. The 2011 6-Series Convertible is, you won’t be shocked to learn, exactly what we’ve been expecting for quite some time (we even brought you the first photo of the 2011 BMW 6-Series Convertible last month) and is a topless take on the new BMW 6 Series Coupe we saw at Frankfurt back in September.
Tesla Model S warranty extended to 8 years for Drivetrain
Sat, 16 Aug 2014Tesla Model S warranty extended to 8 years for Drivetrain The Tesla Model S – perhaps the only truly useable electric car – has taken the motoring industry by storm, and now it’s getting better still for owners as Tesla announce an extended warranty on the drivetrain of the Model S to 8 years, matching that of the battery pack. The warranty also applies retrospectively, so all Model S Teslas already in the hands of owners are covered – and the warranty can be transferred to as many new owners as needed – for a full 8 years, which is unlimited for the 85 models and 125k miles for the 60 models. It’s a strong response from Tesla after a number of long-term tests (by Consumer Reports and Edmunds in particular) produced a number on niggling problems, and standing behind their product so solidly – just as Hyundai/Kia did – may not take the niggles away but it will give comfort to prospective buyers (if not shareholders, at least in the short term).
