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By the late 1960s, the FE engine was outdated and was replaced by the 385 series, which came in 429 and 460 cubic inch versions.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.

How to Build Max Performance Ford FE Engines

This illustrated book presents a clear and practical guide to building and improving Ford FE (Ford Edsel) engines, which powered many Ford and Mercury cars and trucks from the late 1950s to the mid-1970s.
With renewed interest in these engines, they are now used in high-performance street cars, muscle cars, and specialised trucks. The focus is on effective methods for the most common engines, especially the 390 and 428.

The book explains how to choose pistons, connecting rods, and crankshafts to meet different power needs. It also reviews the strengths and limits of the various engine blocks. Further chapters describe suitable cylinder heads, valvetrain and camshaft options, including head flow, lifters, pushrods, port size, cam lift, and rocker-arm geometry.

Covered engines: 332, 352, 361, 390, 406, 410, 427 and 428 cu in FE models.

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

The Ford FE engine, introduced in the late 1950s, was developed as a more powerful replacement for the Y-block to meet the demands of larger, heavier cars. Initially designed for torque to move heavy sedans, FE engines evolved into high-performance units that achieved success in Le Mans and drag racing during the 1960s.

By the late 1960s, the FE design was replaced by the "385" series, also known as the Lima design, which incorporated canted-valve technology similar to the Cleveland engines. While it lacked the racing pedigree of the FE, the 385 series offered improved performance and remains available through Ford motorsports programs.

This book, by Ford expert and historian George Reid, provides complete coverage of these engines. It details interchangeability and availability of components, including crankshafts, rods, pistons, camshafts, engine blocks, intake and exhaust manifolds, carburetors, distributors, and more.

Building on the previous "High-Performance Ford Parts Interchange", which covered both small- and big-blocks, this edition focuses exclusively on MEL, FE, and 385-series big-blocks, allowing for more thorough and detailed coverage.
