I resorted to make my own water neck as this is not available aftermarket. I put some photos in the Lincoln Restoration section. Very easy to make, got a 90 deg sch40 bend and cut a piece of it, welded to a short straight section and the flange. Will outlast the car now with 4x more thickness than ...

If your 430 is able to mount to a Ford C6 then any FE bell housing will fit. If it is the 66-68 Lincoln C6 you have a 462. The 462 has a dual bell housing pattern cast into the back of the engine that may or may not be tapped for the 61-65 Cruise-O-Matic, which has a 5 bolt bell. A man told me that ...

Thanks for posting all the tips.

Is the 91281 used in the early and late MEL distributors?

An FE will bolt up to the transmission but I don't know if your 59 Mercury engine mounts are like a 59 Lincoln or like a 59 FE. For reference here is a 65 430 mounted in place of a 1966 F100 352 FE. If you have a 45° steel thermostat housing it may be a little harder getting the upper hose to fit. h...

A few more pictures and measurements of a Lincoln 430 MEL, FT bell housing and Clark 250V in a 66 F-100 long wheel base chassis.

A little more progress. Here is a good look at the back of the block with an FE and FT starter alignment / spacer plate. Notice how the FT bell housing kicks the starter out at the bottom to clear the larger flywheel. IMG_20190819_181448.jpg IMG_20190819_181056.jpg IMG_20190819_181128.jpg IMG_201908...

Hi Chris, thanks for your reply. Do you mean I can find them on this forum right now, or maybe somewhere in de future on eBay or so? I just bought the original 2 barrel carb, so only the manifold is missing now to get my car 100% original. I have been able to dig up old post and buy various pieces....

Hi, I'm looking for an original 1960 2 barrel to fit back on my Lincoln. It now has a 4 barrel, and is not correct for the 1960 model year. Does anyone have a correct intake and willing to sell? Thanks, Ferdy Comb through these classifieds. I had several I posted here for a few years. I scrapped th...
