These eliminate transfer of any vibration within the plant, and are much easier on the human spine. I guess NVH has even gotten to the floor of the plant. While Ford has reaped the Duratecs benefit, it was not an original design. The primary input for the design of this engine was Porsche, which was already developing the configuration for other purposes. Porsche sold the engineering to Ford and Cosworth, the dominant force behind the cylinder head design. And so it is in engine building. There is always someone that is able to provide more features per dollar than you or at least make someone believe they can.

Mustang Engine Builder Program' title='Mustang Engine Builder Program' />L. There have been reports of an F7. DE block, however I have never been able to locate one. In any case, it would be identical so we wont fuss over it. This is an all aluminum block with cast iron liners. Boring this engine oversize is not a problem, and oversize pistons are readily available. Lets start at the top Figure 1 and work our way around to the front and rear. There is a single water outlet tube at the back with an Indy Track shape opening for the early style PCV oil separator about in the center of the block. Note that there is not another coolant flange toward the front. Figures 1 6. Builders Tip 2 If the PCV oil separator is not installed on the block prior to the installation of the cylinder heads, it cannot be installed without one head being removed. If you find yourself in this situation the right side head easiest to remove. It can also be installed backwards, so always install with the hose outlet to the rear of the engine. There are also two types with different PCV flow and hose sizes. In the trans mount area at the back of the block the F5 block has only one bolthole Figure 2 just above the dowel on the right side. Moving to the front of the block Figure 3 the F5. DE has two dowel pins mounted in the front, both of which are eliminated in all subsequent blocks. This block has a 1. TaurusSable. XW4. E AE, AG is the casting number for 1. XW block with a 1. It has a provision for the oil feed to the right side cylinder head Figure 4 to use with variable valve timing VVT although its not being used. There are also coolant port changes that occurred on the right side that required a new design head gasket. A coolant port flange with two boltholes can be found on the top of the block used in the Lincoln LS and Mazda MPV. This flange is plugged for all other applications. This block now has two boltholes in the trans mount flange area on the right side above the dowel Figure 2. Typically you will find the casting number for this block in the lower area just above the bedplate. TaurusSable, EscapeTribute, Lincoln LS, Jaguar S X, Mazda MPV and 6. XW4. E BA is the casting number for 2. In 2. 00. 3 0. 5 casting number 3. W4. E came on the scene. I have seen Broadcast Code engines that were 2. XW4. E blocks. If youre a purist I leave it to your own heart otherwise I consider the blocks to be fully interchangeable. In fact, the blocks are identical to the 1. Since this is nearly identical to the det sensor situation with the 4. L Ford, I would assume that the same companies that provide those adaptors and tooling should be able to do the same for the 3. L Duratec. Crankshafts. There are only two crankshafts one with a shallow bore hole in the rear with a short alignment bushing and one with a deep hole and long alignment bushing Figure 5. TaurusSable. V 1. TaurusSable, EscapeTribute, Lincoln LS, Jaguar S X, Mazda MPV and 6. VI 6. 0 is the crankshaft forging number for the later crank that has a deep bore torque hole in the rear of the crankshaft of. Bushing length results in. Other than the bore hole the cranks appear to be identical. The crankshaft position exciter ring has two different index key slots. One is for 3. 0. L TaurusSable with the position sensor on the right side of the engine, and one is used for the EscapeTribute, which has the crankshaft position sensor on the left side of the engine. If installed incorrectly the engine will run, but very poorly. Connecting Rods. There are two connecting rods, which the only difference is nothing more than a couple of dimples on the thrust face on the lower large end Figure 6. They weigh the same and end for end, they are bushed for a full floating pin. They are forged, powder metal, fracture split cracked connecting rods. TaurusSable. Double dimple con rod that is the same as the one without the dimples. TaurusSable, EscapeTribute, Lincoln LS, Jaguar S X, Mazda MPV and 6. Without dimple, plain face connecting rod is fully interchangeable with the other. Pistons. There are two different pistons for this engine. The first design has a flat top with a slight dome, the second is nearly identical with four valve reliefs for the additional piston to valve clearance with the introduction of the VVT engines Figure 7.

Sadly, none of us are getting any younger, and that goes for your beloved vintage Mustangs, too. Theres a reason the restomod movement has been so popular during last two decades. Restomodding a vintage Mustang so it has better handling and braking, as well as comfort and safety upgrades, allows you to enjoy our Mustangs even more. If you enjoy driving your Mustang more because its safer and more comfortable, youll want to take it out more and hit the cruise nights and car shows. That is what we all want, isnt it, to enjoy our vintage Mustangs One of the problematic areas of first generation Mustangs, we as owners, have been trying to improve upon are the woefully dim side illuminated instruments in the Mustangs dash. Besides being dimly lit and hard to read, many of these gauges measurements are merely suggestions due to their varying rates of accuracy leaning towards the highly inaccurate end of that scale. And some simply no longer work at all cough, ammeter, cough or werent part of the original factory gauge package cough, tachometer, cough. Over the years, owners have tried LED light bulbs, add on gauges like the steering column mounted tach, or the auto parts store three gauge panel setup under the dash where theyre so easy to read while driving, right. However, these are just Band Aids on what essentially needs to be an easy to install complete gauge replacement that incorporates modern gauge technology with easy to see backlit gauge faces. Several years ago, the folks at Dakota Digital, the company famous for its vacuum fluorescent digital gauge packages, including direct replacement Mustang systems, developed their VHX line of replacement instruments. The VHX system was designed from the start to be a direct replacement gauge panel that boasts all the essential gauges for monitoring your Mustang. This includes through the dial back lighting, settable warning systems, electronic speedometer with trip odometer, built in tachometer, and a slew of warning indicators for those with EFI systems, cruise control, and other such add ons. The VHX system launched with a 6. Dakota Digital even has VHX packages for Fox Mustangs. However, those 6. Supermarket Autocad Blocks. Mustang owners with the base, long sweep speedometer gauge panel based off the 6. Falcon were out of luck if they wanted to keep that early look in their dashes. Not anymore Recently released in the VHX line is Dakota Digitals new Falcon, Ranchero, and 6. Telecharger Torrent Dexter Saison 7. Mustang system. The installation differs little from the 6. Check out the steps here, and then take a look at Dakota Digitals different face and illumination options on its website. In addition to the main Dakota Digital VHX pre assembled gauge package, each VHX system includes its control box, oil pressure and temperature sensors, an electronic speed sensor, sensor wiring, and full instructions for programming and installation. This is the current setup in this 6. Stock gauges with an iffy temperature gauge, oil pressure and alternator idiot lights, and an owner installed mini tach on the steering column. Time to kiss all this goodbye Disconnect the battery before proceeding. You can remove the factory gauge cluster by removing the Phillips head screws surrounding the perimeter of the gauge bezel. Removing the steering wheel is optional, but weve always found it helpful when working on the dash or gauges. With a shop towel or other form of protection on the steering column tube, lift the gauge cluster up and tilt it forward to access the speedometer cable, wiring, and bulbs on the rear of the assembly. Disconnect all wiring from the gauge assembly and remove the assembly. You will need the original screws that retain the gauge assembly to the gauge bezel to secure the new Dakota Digital VHX assembly to your bezel. Remove these and set the old gauge assembly aside. The new Dakota Digital VHX system for the 6. Mustang and early Falcon and Ranchero comes out of the box as a complete assembly. All you must do is remove the protective plastic from the gauge lenses. Were using a new bezel from Scott Drake here, and you can even order new bezel mounting screws, if you like, so you dont have to take your stock gauge assembly apart. Carefully line up the Dakota Digital VHX assembly with the bezel the original or replacement and secure using the original screws that we removed earlier. Or install using new screws, if you prefer. Dakota Digital provides these two angle brackets and mounting screws to replicate the metal ears on the stock gauge assembly to secure the unit on the dash. The brackets are bare metal here, which is an early production unit were using for installation photos. But in production kits these brackets will be powdercoated black to match the black camera case gauge bezel. The Dakota Digital VHX oil pressure sensor replaces your stock single wire unit. Locate your oil pressure sensorin our case, its on the drivers rear of the inline six blockand remove it. The included sensor is installed using a provided adapter. The VHX kit includes several pipe thread and flat sealing washer fittings to allow easy installation of the sensors in just about any engine combination. The water temperature sensor uses the early style small threads, so in our case, it threaded directly into the cylinder heads water jacket. The VHX kit includes an electronic speed sensor and drive adapter to replace the gear driven cable of your stock speedometer. Installation is simple. First, remove your old speedometer cable from your transmission. Shown here is just the transmission end of the cable, as our aftermarket cable pulled out of the fitting during removal. Using a small pick tool or screwdriver, release the retaining clip on the speedometer driven gear and remove the gear. Transfer the gear to the drive adapter and secure with the factory clip. Lastly, thread the speed sensor onto the drive adapter, and the completed assembly is ready for installation. The assembled speed sensor simply goes right back into the transmission, as you would if installing a cable type speedometer drive. Secure the unit to the transmission with the original retaining bolt and connect the wiring harness to the speed sensor. We routed the harness up to the firewall along the parking brake cable route. The oil pressure and temperature senders are wired via the included harnesses. Simply plug them into the sensors two wire is water, three wire is oil and route them through the firewall to the gauge area in the dash. Because there was no longer a speedometer cable in the firewall, we installed a grommet in the factory hole and passed the wiring for the speed, oil, and water sensors through it for a clean, no drill installation. The VHX control box is fairly compact and can be situated directly behind the gauge opening. We secured it to two dash braces via tie wraps once wired. The wiring is straightforward. Simply strip back a small amount of insulation, place the wire end into the labeled opening on the box, and secure the wire by tightening the screw. Youll find all the wiring you need, such as the turn signal and high beam, at the old gauge wiring. If you dont want to cut your factory wiring, youll need to make up an adapter with a length of wire for each connection.
