From my experience of "when accountants start running a business". They only produce what makes the money. Not what the individual wants.

I did read somewhere that O2 sensors should be about 2 feet from the engine. Probably just after were the pipe bends to go under the vehicle would be a good spot.

Use a torch and slightly melt the outside of the plastic. There are video's on YouTube.

long time observer on the forum but don't usually post. Fe engines are pretty scarce here on the island but last year I managed to find a block and the guy had another complete engine sitting in his shed so I grabbed that one as well. Anyway I just got to tearing it down. Don't know a lot about these engines so not sure what I have. It looks like it might have been a truck engine as it has an oil filter that sits horizontal. The block is a C7MEA, so a 67, possible 428 block? A 13/64 drill bit fits between the cylinders but not a 15/64. It's a 4.050 bore, 6.49 stroke so 390. Rods are C7AE-B 427/428, 2U crank, heads are C2SE 6090B possible 62-63 406CID? My measuring stick is broken but the valves appear to be around 2.03 intake and 1.60 exhaust. If I wanted to use this in a car would the crank snout be different? Thanks for any advice

600 should be enough for a standard 390. There is a formula on the net to work out you carb size.
CFM = Cubic Inches x RPM x Volumetric Efficiency รท 3456. Any ordinary stock engine will have a volumetric efficiency of about 80%

A 1" spacer would be good as a lot of birds suffer from heat soak. The spacers are angled also.
