Ford FE Engines - How to Rebuild: Complete Step-by-Step Instruction for 330- to 428-ci Engines

Ford FE engines, which were manufactured from the late 1950s all the way through the mid-1970s, were designated as the large-displacement engines in the Ford lineup. FE means Ford Edsel and reflects an era when Ford sought to promote the Edsel name. The design of these engines was implemented to increase displacement over its predecessor, the Y-Block engines of the previous decade.

This book shows you how to rebuild one of these legendary engines. CarTech's unique Workbench series format takes you step-by-step through the entire rebuilding process.
Covered are engine identification and selection, disassembly, cleaning, parts analysis and assessment, machine shop processes, replacement parts selection, reassembly and start-up/break-in techniques. Along the way are helpful tips on performance upgrades, trouble spots to look for, special tools required, and professional builder's tips.

Ford 429 / 460 Engines - How to Rebuild (Revised Edition)

Ford was unique in having two very different big-block engine designs during the muscle car era. The original FE engine, developed in the late 1950s, replaced the Y-block design and became a high-performance engine, winning Le Mans and drag racing championships in the 1960s.

By the late 1960s, the FE engine was outdated and was replaced by the 385 series, which came in 429 and 460 cubic inch versions. While it didn't have the same racing legacy as the FE, the new design was an improvement in almost every way and is still part of Ford's motorsport offerings today.

Starting in 1971, the 429 engine powered Mustangs and Torinos in high-performance versions like the Cobra Jet and Super Cobra Jet, making it one of Ford's most powerful engines.

In "Ford 429/460 Engines: How to Rebuild, " Ford expert Charles Morris provides a complete guide to rebuilding these engines. This step-by-step manual covers everything from engine inspection and disassembly to reassembly, tuning, and even building the special Boss 429 engines. Also included is a bonus chapter on the Ford 351 Cleveland engine.

Ford Big-Block Parts Interchange - Covers all FE, MEL & 385 Series Engines

The FE engine was a design pioneered in the late 1950s, primarily as a more powerful replacement for the dated Y-block design because cars were becoming bigger and heavier, and therefore, necessitated more power to move.
What started as torquey engines meant to move heavyweight sedans morphed into screaming high-performance mills that won Le Mans and drag racing championships through the 1960s.

By the late 1960s, the design was dated, so Ford replaced the FE design with the "385" series, also known as the "Lima" design, which was more similar to the canted-valve Cleveland design being pioneered at the same time.
It didn't share the 1960s pedigree of racing success, but the new design was better in almost every way; it exists via Ford motorsports offerings to this day.

In this book Ford expert and historian George Reid covers these engines completely. Interchange and availability for all engine components are covered including cranks, rods, pistons, camshafts, engine blocks, intake and exhaust manifolds, carburetors, distributors, and more.

Expanding from the previous edition of High-Performance Ford Parts Interchange that covered both small- and big-block engines in one volume, this book cuts out the small-block information and devotes every page to the MEL, FE and 385 series big-blocks from Ford, which allows for more complete and extensive coverage.
