The V8 Owners Forum -

Thanks for that truck doctor! as soon as i saw that photo you posted i though, aha, i had one of those modules (off a granada or something) but threw it away.. a quick christmas day rummage through my scrap pile and i found it. wired it up yesterday and was getting a spark no probem, but i had no fu...

And it does have a vacuum advance.

Right, just been out and taken off the dizzy to have a closer look, it is made by motorcraft, and on the body of the dizzy itself says motorcraft 12127, there was also a metal tag clinging on which reads, 37 D9BE 12127 CA 8J 11, been hunting around on the internet but not found a definitive answer a...

Hi all, just wrapped up warm and had another go at getting my 302 v8 running, it appears to have a hall effect distributor, with 3 wires coming from it, tried wiring it up how i thought right, but got no spark. 2 wires go to the actual wire coil thingy inside the dizzy, and one goes to the the metal...

Right, had another look today, swapped the coil, and have taken photos and noted down every wire on the thing.. here goes. http://i753.photobucket.com/albums/xx176/joedangerbaxter/fromdizzy.jpg The above photo is of wires from the dizzy, they are green/yellow, green, and green/brown. http://i753.pho...

Right, got a 302 engine just over a week ago, and only tonight got round to trying to fire her up.. long story short, i hate electricty. how hard can a carb engine be to wire up! after 20 or so minutes of fiddling i manged to get the engine to turn over (since when did starters only have one cable t...

right, got the engine today, the numbers on the block are as follows-
090E- 6061- E8A
8J22
But from looking at the link above the first 0 is probably a D, but still not 100% on identification.. any help pleasee, just like to now what ive gone and bought!

Understandable, just wondered if it could be identified as a windsor/cleveland/whatever for the photos, (i know little or nothing about yank V8's if you hadnt already guessed) If i find out the engine numbers i assume that might help.. if there are any specific ones to look for...
Thanks again.

Anybody got any idea what this engine is? from the only 3 photos i have.. im told its a 5.0 ford v8, any info/figures would be a treat! :) http://i753.photobucket.com/albums/xx176/joedangerbaxter/B6RK2cgWkKGrHqFiMEyeRtpYMBMw02G4oe_12.jpg http://i753.photobucket.com/albums/xx176/joedangerbaxter/B6RK5...

oh right, i was told up there somewhere ^ that any of the standard clutches wouldnt be man enough... Carbs are an option, but think ill just try the Efi 1st, age of the car wont matter for emissions, its an '82 but ive just got 13 months MOT and work at a garage whenever im home.. if you get me.. an...

what do you mean different flywheel? a re drilled Sd1 will take the 10.5 clutch wont it? as nice as a lightened one would be i really cant afford that, same with the cam, im only a 19 year old student, so just want to get the engine in and sorted before swapping parts, got a 2wd LT77 that i think il...

yeah its for the capri. and not sure if it has top hat liners or not, shall have a look on the build sheet when im home thursday, but yeah, think this engine is gonna be the one for now anyway. just need to buy an Sd1 flywheel, anyone? then mcleod clutch by the sounds of it.. should be a laugh :) th...

just bought a rang rover with a Rpi 4.6, which was destined for my capri, but, now i cant decide to break the truck and engine and use the money for another v8 and box, as dumb as that sounds, just rover v8's always scare me a bit.. hopefully have about 1200 to 1500 squid to get an engine and box, m...

right! got this rangie, now the decison, do i keep the 4.6, or break it and use the money to get another v8 (it makes sense in my head) what sort of price do windsors or clevelands fetch anyone? nothing special, dont mind a rebuilt, give me something to do in my spare time at uni :D or even a chevy,...

oh and its comes in a range rover that is 100% fooked, apparently hes just had a kid (that classic) and needs money and has no time being a farmer.. think ill go for it then if i change my mind break the engine, what sort of price do stage 1 heads fetch? they must be the only real valuable part on i...
