Engine Compartment Thread

[Lumbergh]

I searched but did not find.

Is there an engine compartment thread anyone has bookmarked?

I'm out of town (no contribution just this sec), but would love to see what folks have 'under the hood' as it were, complete with upgrades / improvements.

Need some ideas / inspiration for winter projects.

Thanks!

Nice tex. Both my father and I have the exact same motor.

I found out why I have white smoke, where the 2 exhaust manifolds meet, the gasket is bad letting water pour out my exhaust.

Thanks. I absolutely love it. Such nice torque from those Fords.

Hey, two questions on your motor.

Does the fuel system have a return line?

Is there an o2 used?

I just recently started thinking about an open loop EFI for the 351s.

Tim I have friends with "Naughty Girls" and I know they do not have O2 sensors or any kind of emission control. Keep in mind the engine pic above would be say '98-2000? All of the PCM engines I deal with are out of 3 different '98 "Naughty Girls".

The fuel I do believe has a return back to the tank. The canister with PCM on it has a pump and a filter in it. There is also a secondary pump above that pump. I can't remember off the top of my head what the fuel rail looks like on the intake but there are 2 hoses that run to the canister. I believe that 1 is a return.


Hope this is a help to you

Yes, there is a return off the Fuel Control Cell (FCC). There are also two fuel pumps, a high pressure and a low pressure, one of which (I think the low pressure) is inside the FCC. No O2 sensor.

/edit. Whoops, Tim has covered it already.

Yeah, I'm just wondering if there could be a low cost EFI conversion for the older motors. The problem with a BLM is needing a dry exhaust for the o2 or it would have to run open loop. If it's more then say $400 or $500 then it probably wouldn't be worth it to most folks.
