Starter and generator will swap. Different numbers but specs essentially same. The generator would need to polarize properly but no big deal. Not sure if regulator would swap. Carb would fit mechanically and be drivable but as you said, differences in size plus a couple of other things. Almost everything mechanically would change as a unit but there are some differences. Engine, trans, rear end, TL compensator, some electronics as an example would swap & be serviceable but be different--thus not correct.

Can't see a windshield washer bottle in Pierre's pic of the engine compartment, however that's not to say it's not there somewhere but out of sight.

Dave, I missed it too! Yes, it's probably just a stuck valve. The best way to do that is to remove the head, get some PB Blaster or the like, and a rubber mallet. Turn the engine the other way and give it a sharp "whack", but not too hard as to bend the valve. I've done this several times with good luck and not bending the valve.
As for the w/w pump, never seen one of those, but now I will remember it!

both good things to know. thanks
its hard to compare from memory while out in the drizzle and cold. are the starters and generators the same as well? the one eith power windows is less likely restorable, so i may strip it and use it as a stockpile of parts. i was also under the impression they used a slightly smaller carb on the 352s is that true? sorry for the loads of questions! these cars are too good of a deal, and i want to know what i can use.

Also, putting the car's stance "in the weeds", was NOT my criteria, but Eric seems focused on that, hence the above analysis. I got that in my head from this post here: Quote: Actually, my idea was aimed more toward emulating current adjustable height suspension. Hence my "in the weeds" idea.

Wild idea. Is there anything vacuum related plumbed into back part of intake manifold that could be drawing oil that would reach the rear cylinders before the front.

Hi Pat:
Page 109 of the reprinted 7th through 12th series service letters goes into exquisite detail on fitting aluminum pistons - such as when properly fitted, ringless, a .0015" thick full length feeler can be withdrawn with thumb and forefinger and a similar feeler .002" thick cannot with the piston in its bore. Do you suppose your engine man had this information at hand? John Oder
