360 Ford Engine Rebuild - Blown Blocks

The new aluminum Edelbrock RPM Performer heads were installed and torqued to manufacturers specs.

After the new Edlebrock Performer RPM intake was mounted, pushrods from Summit were installed through it due to the design of the FE motor.

The OEM rockers were in good shape, so we decided to go with them over a more expensive alternative.

We also tightened them down to factory specifications as per our service manual.

The new Petronix Flamethrower distributor was installed with care and set to fire at TDC, cylinder one.

The Summit-supplied thermostat and water neck were installed onto the new aluminum intake.

A set of new valve cover gaskets was installed on the Edlebrock heads and classic black aluminum covers were bolted down.

The new 600-cfm Edelbrock carburetor was installed as we all as a matching classic aluminum air cleaner in black.

Once the induction was all bolted into place, we slapped a set of Patriot truck headers on it and secured them with a set of Percy’s locking fasteners.

As you can see this FE motor was transformed from an ugly workhorse to a pretty pony almost overnight.
