Actually I was kicking around the idea of a 410/428 crank, didn't know if that was doable. And yes, a 4ft sq. card table. Oh , forgot to mention the 3 lg. pavers strapped over the rear end for ride/traction

FE Technical Forum / 300-325hp to the rear wheels
« on: January 06, 2016, 06:42:29 PM »
Gentlemen, greetings and happy new year. For me, January means bonus check, yay! Followed shortly by vacation pay. Time to start buying parts for my first build. I'm almost embarrassed to ask you guys but I figure go to the experts for straight answers. I have a 65 f250, the motor is out due to a broken oil pump shaft.. It's halfway apart now, a 360. This old girl is my sports car, I don't haul or tow anything it has no bed so if it doesn't fit in the cab or strap to the card table mounted on the frame behind the cab, I don't take it. The 360 was making approximately 200hp, yet with no bed and only a set of headers, it was much quicker than I expected. I'm thinking if I could get 300-325 hp to the rear wheels, I'd be doing extremely well. What I would like to know is, is this possible with what I I have. Already searching for a 390 crank, and I recently acquired an Ed Streetmaster. I was also planning on putting in a C-4 in place of the C-O-M. D2TE-AA heads , stock, Dana 60/3.73. Headers are long tube 1.75 to 3" with 2.5" glass packs bolting directly to collector. Wheel and tire 30", no power steering or brakes. Is this an achievable goal with the proper cam and carb selection? Oh I'm also upgrading dizzy so I can use an MSD 6AL I have.

Well, I appreciate the info gentleman, but, it doesn't matter now. The seller said he would wait until tomorrow morning for me to look at it before entertaining any other offers but then reneged and sold it this afternoon, I'm a bit PO but what can I do, probably a Chevy guy, is all I can figure. I'm actually more interested in a crank and rods, I just thought that if it was special in some way I would want to know.
I have 65 f250 with a 352. The oil pump driveshaft snapped so I pulled it and when I opened it up I discovered it was already .040 over. I was thinking I'd just as soon turn it into a 390. It was a daily driver and I loved driving it and I live in LA. Forty miles each way, most of it on the 405. No power brakes or steering, no AC, didn't matter this truck brought me joy. It came with a dump setup for the bed and after taking the bed off to remove all that hardware I took it for a spin with no bed and that was all she wrote!! Never put it back on! Threw a set of headers on and really had some fun only 208 hp but it moves well without that weight.
I now have a 4v intake and I'd like to throw a mild cam in as well. Not towing, not hauling, just driving my big ugly truck/coupe. So now I'm on the hunt for a crank and rods and working with a tight budget. Anyway, now you have a little idea of where I'm at. Just gotta keep looking and learning.

Just found you guys the other day, by chance, now I know where all the big brains have been hanging out. That being said please forgive me in advance, as I am still quite low on the learning curve. I'm going to look at a 390 for sale tomorrow and I'm a bit confused about the numbers. Photo shows a casting # of C1AE 6015 and a date code of OM12. Thank you in advance for you assistance, so glad to have found you all
