Lol.

 

Funny thing..... I didn't realize the the SBF has a bigger snout than the modulars. I went to turn the crank on my 351, and my crank socket is too small. Had to order a socket for a SBF.

I thought the modulars were a tad bigger, and could still be used on a SBF. Oh well.... the things you learn in battle.

 

Had to order one ? What size is it ?

 

The SBF has a snout of 1.375" (1 3/8") and the Modulars are 1.255" (32mm).

It is just barely too small to fit. I am betting the SBF socket will turn a Modular, but not vice versa (provided the woodruff key is the correct size).

 

Isn't that the same in standard for the CV/ hub bearing nuts on the front of the 150? Well, I think it fit there as well.

Actually, I think there' two sizes of hub nuts up front.

 

It might be.... didn't think to try that. I usually use the sockets like these that are round.....

 

Hey Brew, I have seen a few threads where you have mentioned and have shown your intake set up. That looks quite nice. The previous owner of my truck put a K&N on it so I was thinking I might try to combine the K&N composite intake tube with the stock airbox and GOTTS, similar to what you did. I'm wondering if you think that would work and what air filter element you might recommend? I think you used to use an Amsoil but I believe those can no longer be purchased. I would appreciate any wisdom you might want to pass my way or even a link to a write up if that is out there? I looked but can only find broken links at this time.

 

Quite honestly, the Motorcraft filters are about the best thing you'll find now.

 

No write -ups anymore, just this, -

Shows the modified parts.

Yea that will work, it's what I did, except I used a Volant tube. No Amsoil filters anymore. Think the 98 has a WIX now. WIX or Motorcraft, can't go wrong.

 

Yeah... WIX is top shelf too. Good stuff for sure.

The O'Reilly MasterPro brand is made by WIX, BTW.
