[Tigers] engine rebuild

[Ron Fraser]

Ford changed to the nylon teeth on aluminum hub in March 1965.

 

This change will be in the B19KC 260 engines and all the Mk II engines.

 

Those nylon teeth cam gears will fail and leave you stranded so change them when you see them on any engine.

Hello

Jim Armstrong here. When i had my 260 rebuilt about 6/7 years ago, here are the items I changed to:

Edelbrock F4B, Holley 465, Comp Cam,  and Pertornix ignitiion. Runs perfectly and looks stock. And its ever so much quicker than it was !

Oh by the way, change the cam chain gear to solid metal from  the nylon teeth on aluminum hub !!!

Hey,

I will be rebuilding my engine soon (original 260, no modifications) and I
want to use a new carburetor. The original owner had a Holley 650cfm on it
and I understand that something smaller will work better.

So which is a better solution, a Holley 1848 (465cfm) or an Edelbrock 1403
(500cfm).

Is anybody using a FiTech system? I have a friend who is using the FiTech
Go EFI 4 on his old truck and he swears by it.

Thanks,
Joe Brown
