In 1982 I put a 360 Industrial engine in my 66 F100, everything from the 352 cid fit. They said the industrial engines were used in the F700 and bigger. Awesome video

That’s frustrating. At this point id be muttering “it’s always something!” and throwing things around the shop. When I get near the end I get so impatient I start making dumb mistakes. Looked good in that engine bay though - very satisfying

Everything is looking great man, don’t let this little issue get you down. Can’t wait for the next videos!

Not sure if there was any milling done to the heads or block but if there was....The FE head gasket and intake gasket surfaces are 90 degrees relative to each other, so any machining operation to the heads or block deck will have had a corresponding impact on the intake fit...which would cause leaks.

Ole oven cleaner did the trick to it, love the vids man keepem coming

Glad you found that before you put coolant in it. I didn't know how you were gonna go back with the engine. I would of wrapped the header over by the starter. Just saying because fords and headers don't always work well together. Those header gaskets looked a little thin that you put on there. I used the thick white header gaskets on mine when I put it back together. I used the original cast exhaust manifolds on mine. Originally they used the metal gaskets. FE's are notorious for leaking exhaust manifolds.

Everything oem will always keep you going down the road along time!!!

More than likely the intake. Gasket was for a tall port. If you got the small port gasket use them instead.

You will get it Bud...its gonna be worth all the work you did!

Get an Edelbrock performer RPM manifold and call it a day!😁 I have one on my Lincoln, along with a performer AVS2 carb, and I absolutely love it!!

I’m using a Luk clutch kit and a GM throw out bearing in my 70 Z28. Bought the Luk kit from an AC Delco store in town.

F-100 rebuild the engine good mechanic new parts of the engine everything back in the truck and transmission another video soon keep up the good work friend bless you merry Christmas happy new year 2020

A few I know that had 360 engine, when opportunity came the rebuilt as a 390 which is a big step up . 360’s tended to be harder on fuel, great as workhorse truck engine but that’s it.

Great videos. Best wishes from Croatia.

I ALWAYS use FelPro Printo Seal intake gaskets on the sides & straight beads of silicone along both China walls. Also, you may need to machine a bit off of the bottom of the intake manifold depending on how much was machined off the heads. The manifold can be a bit too wide on the bottom & not allow the sides to drop down enough to line up because of the angles on the sides.

Maybe it's a FT 391 intake. If I remember right the 391 has a taller deck height. I could be wrong but you can google it.

Hope you get it squared away my friend! Happy Holliday's to you and yours!

I just put headers on my 390 ‘68 last night. I wouldn’t want to try putting a motor and trans in with them on.

Well at least it looks pretty! Hey it wouldn't be a "real life" situation if everything went perfectly. This isn't TV...lol Speaking on the Heater hose fitting on the intake, I'm betting Drake, Dennis Carpenter, C&G Ford, or LMC Truck has the correct one available. Your original sure seemed taller than what I'm use to seeing. The OE ones typically were just tall enough to align with the water passage that was in the carb spacer. Then the heater would hook to the rear exiting side of the carb spacer. Not really sure why Ford did this unless the 2bbl didn't get enough heat from the acres of iron intake...?? Also one last note. Keep spare starter around. I looks like you coated your headers? Hopefully that coating you have reduces the heat as these headers, non-coated, have a tendency to cook starters. Ask me how i know.... (and how i get that top starter bolt easily ;-) )
