Not So Pro 3

Generally Greece is like the southern states. I happen to live at the center of an island that buffets the Athenian peninsula, so northeastern storms are able to collect humidity from the sea and unload it on our mountains. We are at 850 meters in elevation, something like 2700 feet iirc.

Hi Dan. How did harvest come out? You still shipping over here?

I can second that, had a new GE washer that was broken constantly. Turned out it was built in China junk. Only reason I bought it was I thought it was a good American brand. Pfft, so much for that. Replaced it with a Speed Queen and the troubles went away.

The first cold water supply solenoid set went within a few months of buying it. What do you want for 1000 dollars these days.

How does the 351m and the 400m have the same deck height, same rods, but different strokes. Are the pistons different too? I am seriously asking as it doesn't make sense in my mind. Unless the piston is taller on the 351m.

I do believe some of them have different pin nights ect. Some of the fe series were low compression and some high which they accomplished by different pistons with different dome hight and pin locations also.
But maybe the 351/400m is different. Ford has been known to do some slightly different stuff to get to the same place as other brands.

They don’t make anything to last anymore. Our Frigidaire dishwasher is only 3 years old, and the door seals are junk. Leaks every time we run it. Got replacement seals - still leaks. Tech tells me the door is probably cracked internally. Ghey. We don’t even run it on the high-heat setting. Can’t imagine how much faster it would have wrecked the plastic if we did that.. so much for a $800 dishwasher.

The 360 would have been the original engine, they all pretty much were as far as I know.
You can look up the vin codes to see what the truck was built with and decode it with a repair manual.

The parts truck is a 83 or 84 F350 that someone stuck a older engine and transmission in. Definitely an FE engine. Single motor mount under the crank pulley, two mounts on the bell housing. I'd guess it is a 361 or 391 after some reading.

361FT will look just like a 360FE but with a four-barrel carburetor instead of the two-barrel.

It is a two barrel engine.

Interesting. They did not always stay on, however, there were tags on the distributor hold down bolts on the older engines that had the size designation on them. How long they did this and how long the Holley four barrels remained I don't know. They might have quit using the Holley's after they sold Holley off possibly???

I still have to put a pressure sensor in it and the hot water solenoid, the indicator on the screen says there is a H20 supply issue when you wash anything on hot or warm water. I got so pissed I wasn't pissed anymore..if that makes sense. The appliance store says it'll take a week for me to get them, I'm just buying another one today and selling this fukking thing for cheap after I put the new parts in.

The 400 has the longest stroke of any Ford engine ever built, and is capable of making stupid amounts of torque at low rpm.

But does it have an intellicarb?

What's this Hi-Boy swap you speak of?

Soooo... back in the day, no one knew what in the heck motor they had in their car/truck is what you're saying?

Technically a lowboy highboy, the donor is a 78/79 chassis that currently has a thrashed 69 body on it and is titled as a 69. My brother's truck is a fairly clean 68 2wd unit with a f-ed engine. Forget back in the day, even now you can't tell which motor is which. If the vin is right or the badging is right you can tell, otherwise my rule of thumb is the engine is the smallest possible.
