The best thing according to Ford is not use shit gas. It is explicitly stated that these engines need Top Tier gas, which has extra detergents and cleaners. Look for the green sticker on the pump stating that it is top tier. Costco is one source. If you google top tier you can find a list of...
Likely to be $16,000 now with the new tariffs. Thank you Don the Con. There is no such thing as "lifetime oil". I am changing mine at 40k miles or so and adding a bottle of the superlube people are using. As far as I know all the 10R80 transmissions are the same.

It had a serial number indicating it was one of the first 3000 sportster engines built. As I remember, it was a 1957 that was used by a dirt racer before I bought it in 1971. It had been bored out 0.060 thousandths and the heads were polished and ported. I put a 1.75 inch British SU...
