Thanks Long!

Ben,
I have only drawn the keyway on the adapter, it is not machined. I was thinking it may need a keyway that would fit on the crank (same slot in the crank) but I don't think it is necessary at...

Attached are the pictures of the Pulley adapter I am using to run the dual pulley for the supercharger with the stock dampner

Pat

Ben,
I will try and dig up some pictures.
Pat

Ben,
The adapter is T-shaped. The bottom portion of the adapter has a diameter that fits into the original dampner and length to also fit in the dampner. I want to say it is about 1 1/2" diameter...

Hi Ben,
I would love to say it's up and running but would you believe I haven't touched it! I have gotten so busy with work that I haven't had a chance to get in the shop. Hopefully, I will be...

Jyrki,
I don't have the dimensions but if you have the dimensions as fractions post them and I will convert them for you.

$3200 for a remanufactured engine doesn't seem bad, I just had my 263 rebuilt and have more than that invested, but I know what parts I have in my engine and all the specs, a reman will be whatever...

Thanks Jenz!
I can't wait to get it running and see how it is with the supercharger, I will keep you posted.
Pat

I finally received my rebuilt 263 after 4 months, the extra wait mainly because of the cam regrind, but really not an issue as this is a really long term project. It is a stock rebuild with just...

A had the chance to disassemble the filter I'm planning on using and take some pictures. Maybe this might help with some of the questions on filter replacement. Are the replacement filters a...

No, it is still all bolted together as original, didn't want to mess with it because I wasn't going to use it.
Good luck with the repair, the manifold is here if you need it.
Pat

Long,
Are you needing another exhaust manifold? If so, I have the original from my 263 that I will not be using since changing over to the dual carb setup. I haven't looked at it in a long time...

Doug,
I don't think I will have a problem with the trans, the motor is a stock rebuild, the supercharger is only about 4lbs. of boost, not planning on doing any 1/4 mile blasts. So, hopefully, I...

Jenz,
That is awesome!! Runs great!
Pat

Jenz,
I'm still in the building stage so I don't know if it is going to be noisy. I don't think it will be because I do have a couple of friends who have the columbia in their fords and there are...

I'm currently building a Supercharged, Fuel injected 263 Cu In that will have a Borg Warner T-5 5 speed manual trans behind it. I purchased the aluminum adapter plate from a gentleman in California...

I checked the manual and didn't find the torque for the cam sprocket bolts, but if they are 3/8-24 I would say you would be safe at 35 ft.lbs, looking at the torque values for the other components...

My engine builder is shying away from the Grant rings, he said he has not had good luck with them and prefers the Hastings rings. It may have something to do with Hastings rings are / were...

Thanks for the tip, I asked Bob about this and he posted to get the answer. It seems to be working as I am typing this.

Pat

Hi Jenz,
Your motor sounds excellent with no vibration! Awesome.. I'm at the rebuild stage of my 263 and would be interested to know what you did for your rebuild. Overbore size, pistons, rings...

Thanks for the info, I have contacted John Erb and am planning to install a modified VS-57 on my 263.
Pat

Did you ever complete this install? I'm very interested in learning what you did to make this work. Do you know who owns the red motor in the picture with the dual carb setup and the supercharger? ...

Thank you for the information
Pat

I am currently working on a 1933 series 50 chassis and have a question on screw bushing tolerances. I am building this from the ground up and would like to understand how worn the leaf spring...
