What have I got?

[Anonymous]

Can anybody sum up the pertinent specs on my '79 notchback Ghia or point me to a website that has it. I know I've got a 200ci with a C-3 tranny and a Holley model 1946 carb. I'm new to this stuff and would like to know what I'm starting with. Would like to know all the basic stuff:

HP
torque
valve and ports
bore and stroke
rockers
crank specs
cam specs
CR
pistons and rings
rear end ratio
carb cfm
fuel pressure
etc.

I've got a Detroit Iron service manual on CD but I don't even understand half the specs in it! Pardon the ignorance but I want to learn!

hp i would be somwhere around 120 to the fly with none of the smog crap
torque up around 190 without the smog equipment
valves: intake 1.75in exhaust 1.5in
bore: 3.68(wow major brain lapse) i think
stroke: dont remember
rockers: dont know but either 1.5:1 ratio or 1.6:1 ratio
cam specs: dont know
CR: not sure
crank specs:dont know wut u mean but its a cast
pistons: same as crank
rear end ratio: dont know
carb CFM: dont know but id guess ~150 max
fuel pressure: its carberated so low


hope i helped

your engine would be an 8.5:1 engine, using dished pistions

make about 115 HP

the holley 1940 series is rated about 185 or so CFM.

pistions are cast

Appreciate the info but I found it on my CD, duh! Took me a while to find it, the index leaves a considerable amount to be desired and the quality is somewhat less than perfect. It's a PaperPort file and I didn't know if ya'll wanted to download a viewer, so I took some time and "screen shot" it and cut and paste it into a .jpeg file. I don't have a printer or a scanner or I'd done it in .pdf Hope ya'll find it useful. According to Detroit Iron's 1979 Ford shop manual.....

bummer, can't upload a .pdf file in "Photobucket". What do you use to post a .pdf file?

 

[rommaster2]

you can use yousendit i think maybe *shrug*. or rapidshare.

Otherwise, take screen shots of the PDF and save them as image files.

I'd sure like to have the .pdf you spoke of. If you can't upload it, can you email me with it please.
