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.

      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
