Re: help with v8-60
What size is the inside of the rod (originally 1.7995-1.800)
What size is the crank --for .020 the book says-1.578-1.579(52 type that should be in a37) what size are the bearings---Ford made bearings that are oversized on theoutside---both .004, .008-----if you are using NOS bearings what are the letters stamped in the oil groove |

Re: help with v8-60
The bearings have to have the proper "spread". Don't know what it would be for a 60 but I've done 85s with full floaters. Need to use a mallet to tap the bearing shell either on the end or in the middle to get the right dimension.

You are very lucky to be in the same town with Vern Tardel if you run into issues with engines.

Re: help with v8-60
I am lucky to live in Santa Rosa, meet Vern about 20 years ago. When I saw his shop it was like stepping back in time crazy place every thing you would need for your old Ford.
