Stock 52 F1
Hi
I have a buddy wanting to take his truck on long highway run. Engine has been well maintained but never rebuilt. Oil pressure 30 or more.
What’s thoughts running 3k RPM for couple hours?

Re: Aluminum heads
All
Thank you, I really learned a lot. I never thought switching heads was so involved. I canceled my order and will look for another, more simplistic, project.

Re: Aluminum heads
Ok thanks. Knowledge is power, I agree. Unfortunately, it’s all way over my head. As previously mentioned, I’m 86, I like turning a wrench and was looking for a somewhat easy winter project to keep...

Re: Aluminum heads
I’m 86, I’ll report back.
Have a question. If gaskets are installed properly why would aluminum be tough to get off?

Re: Aluminum heads
Thanks all.
The car currently has bolts (think it’s a later 239) and would like again to use bolts.

Re: 39 coupe headers
Thank you all.
My main concern is will the headers connect up to existing pipes? Or will I need to fab new ones.

Re: Bolt remover socket
Ok thx. I’m in no rush. I don’t know how to weld. I’ve been pb blasting, torch and vise grips. Just don’t want to round it anymore than it is. I’ll try again tomorrow and if no luck I’ll order ABN.
