Good to see you again, captbill. I presume you transposed the 0 and 2 and meant a 320. Is this the one that the oil pressure dropped while in parades? If I was only there! I would enjoy tearing into that engine.
You might contact 36 Century on this forum. They race a 320. They run a garage/machine shop somewhere in the Phoenix area.
Good luck
Ben

320 to Ford Police Interceptor
Yes, the same. I left car with AJPD mechanics expecting them to at least drop the pan and look. Well, that didn't happen but after I returned from vacation I found out that they plan to remove the drive train and install a ford Police interceptor drive train. I went out on a limb and told them I could stave off the inevitable for a few years by cleaning up #8 journal, installing new bearings, re-torque, change out the oil pump and drive it for a few more years. If they insist on putting this 12volt motor in a 6 volt system I'm through with it. I wish them luck with this. I have insisted that the cost for the conversion will be a heck of a lot more expensive than overhauling the 320 and fixing the tranny leak.
