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

Ford FE-motoren, die vanaf eind jaren 1950 tot halverwege de jaren 1970 in productie waren, werden in het Ford programma aangeduid als de motoren met grote cilinderinhoud.
FE betekent Ford Edsel en dit weerspiegelt een tijdperk waarin Ford de naam Edsel wilde promoten. Het ontwerp van deze motoren werd aangepast om de cilinderinhoud te vergroten ten opzichte van hun voorgangers, de Y-blok motoren uit het vorige decennium.

Dit boek laat zien hoe je deze legendarische motoren kunt reviseren. CarTech's unieke Workbench serie formaat neemt u stap-voor-stap mee door het gehele revisieproces.
Aan bod komen de identificatie en selectie van de motor, demontage, reiniging, analyse en beoordeling van onderdelen, machinewerkplaatsprocessen, selectie van vervangingsonderdelen, heropbouw en opstart- plus inlooptechnieken.
In het boek worden ook handige tips gegeven over prestatieverbeteringen, probleempunten waar u op moet letten, speciaal gereedschap dat u nodig hebt en tips van professionele bouwers.

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

Ford was unique in that it had two very different big-block engine designs during the height of the muscle car era. The original FE engine design was pioneered in the late 1950s, primarily as a more powerful replacement for the dated Y-block design. What began as a torquey engine meant to move heavyweight sedans morphed into screaming high-performance mill that won Le Mans and drag racing championships throughout the 1960s.

By the late 1960s, the FE design was dated, so Ford replaced it with the 385 series in displacements of 429 and 460 cu in, which was similar to the canted-valve Cleveland design being pioneered at the same time.
It didn't share the FE pedigree of racing success, mostly due to timing, but the new design was better in almost every way; it exists via Ford Motorsports' offerings to this day.

Beginning in 1971, the 429 found its way between the fenders of Mustangs and Torinos in high-compression 4-barrel versions called the Cobra Jet and Super Cobra Jet, and it was one of the most powerful passenger car engines that Ford had ever built. If the muscle car era had not died out shortly after the release of these powerful engines, without a doubt, the 429 performance variants would be ranked with the legendary big-blocks of all time.

In this revised edition of "How to Rebuild Big-Block Ford Engines", now titled "Ford 429/460 Engines: How to Rebuild", Ford expert Charles Morris covers all the procedures, processes, and techniques required to rebuild your powerplant.
Step-by-step text provides details for determining whether your engine actually needs a rebuild, preparation and removal, disassembly, inspection, cleaning, machining and parts selection, reassembly, start-up, and tuning.

Also included is a chapter on building the special Boss 429 engines, as well as a bonus chapter on the Ford 351 Cleveland, Ford's little brother to the big-block.
If you are planning to rebuild a Ford 429 or 460 engine, are in the process of a rebuild, or just want to learn more about Ford's storied engines, this book is a must-have item for your shelf.

How to Build Max Performance Ford FE Engines

The Ford FE (Ford Edsel) engine is one of the most popular engines Ford ever produced, and it powered most Ford and Mercury cars and trucks from the late 1950s to the mid-1970s. For many of the later years, FE engines were used primarily in truck applications.

However, the FE engine is experiencing a renaissance; it is now popular in high-performance street, strip, muscle cars, and even high-performance trucks. While high-performance build-up principles and techniques are discussed for all engines, author Barry Rabotnick focuses on the max-performance build-up for the most popular engines: the 390 and 428.
With the high-performance revival for FE engines, a variety of builds are being performed from stock blocks with mild head and cam work to complete aftermarket engines with aluminum blocks, high-flow heads, and aggressive roller cams.

This book shows you how to select the ideal pistons, connecting rods, and crankshafts to achieve horsepower requirements for all applications. The chapter on blocks discusses the strengths and weaknesses of each particular block considered.
The book also examines head, valvetrain, and cam options that are best suited for individual performance goals. Also covered are the best-flowing heads, rocker-arm options, lifters, and pushrods. In addition, this volume covers port sizing, cam lift, and the best rocker-arm geometry.

Covers 332, 352, 361, 390, 406, 410, 427 and 428 cu in FE engines.

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.
