This is a 360 cubic inch Ford FE (Ford Edsel) V8 engine that we are doing a rebuild to. In this post we have the pistons and connecting rods installed in the right bank while the left bank is waiting for the slugs to go in. We performed all the machine work to this engine such as the following: Thermal cleaning in our Bayco oven and shotblasting in our Zero Blast-N-Peen. We then performed a thorough magnaflux on the block, crank, and rods to make sure there aren’t any cracks. We then align honed the housing bore in our Sunnen line hone. We then bored the cylinders for oversize pistons and rings on our Rottler boring bar. We then surfaced and squared both decks of the block on our AMC surface milling machine to yield a 9.3:1 compression ratio. We then honed the cylinders to their final size for the new rings in our Sunnen CK10 cylinder hone. We performed a grind and polish to the crankshaft on our crank grinder and then resized and reconditioned the connecting rods with new wrist pin bushings on our Sunnen rod hone honing machine. We then balanced the crankshaft and rotating assembly on our Balance Tech Balancer. The cylinder heads got a thorough magnaflux to inspect for visual cracks before undergoing a thorough pressure test in our block & cylinder head pressure tester. We then preformed a three angle valve job by machining the valve seats on our Tobin-Arp seat-and-guide machine with our Sunnen 3-angle cutters. We then surfaced and squared the decks of both heads on our cylinder head surfacing machine. We will be assembling this engine complete but it will more than likely involve some surfacing to the intake manifold and possibly shorter pushrods to make up for the material we removed from the decks of the block in order to raise the compression above 9:1 which is a difficult task to do with a 360 FE engine. For all your engine rebuilding and machine work needs we are your safe and comfortable bet for a Las Vegas machine shop. Please give us a call or come on by.
