Title: differences between FC and FB motor Post by: mark_fc on January 20, 2007, 02:17:30 AM Hello all,
When a reconditioned motor has been put in my FC they have used an FB motor and I was wondering if there are any differences between an FB motor and an FC motor. Also can FC parts like distributor, fuel pump, alternator and starter motor etc. Be used on a FB motor with out any problems? Thanks, Mark Title: Re: differences between FC and FB motor Post by: fe hotrod on January 20, 2007, 02:23:43 AM ;)Mark the main differences are that the fb motor is larger in capacity138 cu instead of 132 in a fc,the rocker gear is stronger in a fb motor as well,and all the bolt on gear is exactly the same!!hope this helps you out!!cheers jamie ;)
