bear351c 10,270 Posted January 31, 2020 Check the bearing in the extension housing while you have it out, slip the yoke in, and check for clearance. Can be a source of driveline vibrations. 3 gerg, gregaust and CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gregaust 319 Posted January 31, 2020 10 hours ago, CHESTNUTXE said: So what is the go when trying to find the correct Speedo gear for say 2.92 ? The black spiral thing is the big gear i guess ? I also managed to get the navy seal out Sent from my SM-G570Y using Tapatalk No that black rubber seal is for the yoke . Depends on the yoke you use it's likely not needed . The speedo runs further forward . Speedo gear is same as what a C4 would be 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bear351c 10,270 Posted February 2, 2020 http://mustangpartstech.com/SpeedometerGears.html See if this link works..... Do you know how many teeth are on the drive gear.? 7 or 8? I'd say 19 tooth would be about right, but you may need to check the drive cog in the trans. 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banno 479 Posted February 3, 2020 Up to you but I be going over all the spot welds and even welding up and plating engine cross member before putting such large engine in a xf ute.Late model xf are not built the same as a xd or early xe in steel quality. Even xg were ordinary. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHESTNUTXE 7,299 Posted February 3, 2020 good question banno i didnt realy think about anything like that,cause once an alloy manifold and waterpump are added it brings it back to even lighter than a std 351c and fmx,or very similar,it wont have air con but i orderd the correct 400 saginaw pump bracket from the states and im hoping the std crossflow line will bolt in ,cause im using a saginaw pump ?

Thom 6,650 Posted February 3, 2020 I think banno was more concerned about the amount of instant torque that 400 will make, it might start stressing things a lot quicker than your old xflow would have 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Torque and weight and underrated suspension is a great mix. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHESTNUTXE 7,299 Posted February 3, 2020 so what do you recomend ? strip the engine bay or blast it back to metal and get a welder to do some stuff to it,or just some spots without stripping the whole engine bay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
