Roger,
Thanks for the info on the torque converter.
I'm a little confused on what c4 I need that will work with that big bell 200 six I have. Seems that the C4 had quite a bit of iterations...
Any info on those torque converter sizes?
Roger,
Thanks for the info. Sounds like a got a game plan for this whole deal.
I'm tracking down a C4 currently, but I keep seeing a difference in the torque converter sizes. Some had 10...
Still trying to get an old 1961 road worthy.
I have what I thought was a 200 straight six out of a 1964 Falcon, but it's actually a big bell Ford 200 out of a 1980 or 1981 Ford Fairmont. So using...
Roger,
Thanks for the info!
The old engine is coming out tonight!

Any idea off the top of your head on bolt size and length for those bolts that will attach to the manifold bolt holes?
Thanks again!

Hello,
I have a 1961 with a 170 engine that I need to remove from the car.
What is the best way to hook it up to my lift?
Should I use some lift ears or just high grade bolts and chains?
...
@Luva65wagon,
No worries! I really appreciate all the help.
I got all my ducks in a row now, so I will let you know once I get it all wired up.
Thanks!!!
@Luva65wagon
Any info on my last post's questions?

Roger,
Thanks again for the super helpful info!
It's been busy this last week, but my plan is to get out there this weekend and do some wiring work.
I think I have the wire for the coil...
Roger, thanks so much for the reply and info!
Sorry I was under the weather this weekend and didn't get any pictures posted. Plus it was pretty cold outside, even in the garage.
I did...
Hello,
Do you guys think you could help me identify the wires I need to splice into so I can wire up a DuraSpark ignition harness on my 1961? I can post pics of the wires in my engine bay later...
Hey! Good news....I got that pesky flex plate off my old engine.
The secret weapon I used was some Kroil. Works way better than Liquid Wrench or PB Blaster. I also had the help of the biggest...
Thanks for the info Larry. Good to know that I'm not alone in my struggle.
I'll keep at it. Haven't tried an impact wrench. But I might be borrowing my friend's impact this weekend!
...
I'm trying to pull the flexplate off the back of a 170 CID engine. The nuts that are holding it on won't budge though. I've tried all kinds of PB Blaster and Liquid Wrench and a big breaker bar...
Roger & Patrick,
Yeah I think I do already have a duraspark on there, but its missing the cap and the adapter cup is cracked too. I've attached another picture showing the distributor side of the...
Hello,
I have a 61 that I'm about to drop a 200 engine out of a 64 into. The rebuilt 200 needs a carb and a new distributor. When I bough the rebuilt 200 it had a 2 barrel carb adapter plate on...
Hello,
I have a 200 I6 out of a 64 Falcon that I need to put on an engine stand.
What is the correct size of bolt I would need to mount the engine on the stand?
thanks,
Andrew
Hello,
I have a 61 that has a blown 170 engine in it. I was thinking of upgrading the engine to a 200 out of a 64 Falcon, but was curious if it would still bolt up okay to the old 2 speed...
Roger,
Yeah as far as I can tell the gauge is the only thing that is freaking me out. It pegs out pretty quick, but the car never does any spewing or boiling over.
So yeah maybe it is the...
Roger,
Water pump is brand new and I'm not seeing any coolant leaking into the engine oil or vice versa. Who knows on the cracked head or cracked block.
When it overheats it is a steady climb....
Yeah I guess some sensor testing is in order. Hopefully I can get to the bottom of this.
And Dogshows, no worries on the thermostat question, but the old one was in the correct way and the new...
Dennis,
Yeah maybe it is the gauge or the sending unit. I feel like I've gone over everything else at least 2 or 3 times now.
I bought a new sending unit when I started throwing on all the...
Just installed a new thermostat. No luck though. Car still overheats. I can see coolant circulating in the raradiator but the temp gauge pegs out after idling for about 5 mins. Is this a sign of...
